Finally! Not only a Super Bowl win in Philly, but the coveted winner of the “Early Picks” Contest.

I trust everyone has greased poles in anticipation of what is sure to be a wild celebration!

It was a crazy year in Philly, and with Wentz coming back, my early pick for the 16th Annual Super Bowl Early Pick is…

Nice to see the NFC establish once again that they are the better conference. 😃

Indeed they did. If the Pats had won, the conferences would have each had 26 SB wins. Instead, the NFC leads 27/25, with a MoV average of 17 vs the AF(C/L) 10pt average MoV (counted for SBs won).

I am such a fucking nerd.
