Pats 34, Saints 21 I think this is my first time entering, but with the Seahawks not in the playoffs this year (what?), this is all I have to live for. In the NFL 2017 season context, that is. ---

Panthers 22, Jaguars 20. Double over time. Julius Peppers sacking Bortles in the end zone for the final two points of the game. Hey, if I’m going to dream the Panthers have a chance, I’m going to dream big! ---

You can, but as far as I am concerned, it will get you nothing: if that were to turn out to be the winning score, I would count **Velocity** as picking the winner (because he was first). If you want a shot at actually winning and earning a place in history, you might consider choosing a unique score. ---
