20th Annual Super Bowl Early Picks Thread

The Game Room
21

Chargers 31, 49ers 27

22

49ers 23, Bills 20.*

*Given my track record, this prediction virtually assures that both teams will suffer early playoff upsets.

23

Eagles 30, Bengals 28

24

Ugh, forgot to post the tiebreakers again

The tiebreakers:

  1. Picked both teams, got winner correct
  2. Picked both teams, got winner wrong
  3. Picked winner correctly
  4. Picked loser correctly
  5. Closest to individual scores
  6. Closest to predicted margin of victory
25

Bills 24, Seahawks 17

26

Chiefs 33, 49ers 23

27

49ers 33, Bills 17

28

Vikings 21, Bills 20

One of these teams will have to win a SB one day.

29

I like the way the 49ers are looking in the NFC, and I think Kansas City will represent the AFC. If the Bills could have gotten home field advantage, I would have picked them.

30

Seahawks 26, Dolphins 17

(Yes, highly unlikely. Perhaps impossible. But I’ll look like a genius if it happens.)

31

My Giants got me my first two titles, time for them to get me my third!

Giants 26, Bills 23

(And thanks to all who have kept this game going!)

32

49ers 36, Bills 28

33

Hey! That’s my strategy. I flipped the last time the Bills beat the Chiefs.

34

Um, what?

36

Ha, didn’t even catch that. @dougrb , you’ve got two AFC teams.

37

You did, indeed, miss my brilliant and winning pick:

38

I note that four of us picked 49ers to win, and every one of the four picked the Bills as their opponent. I’d say the opportunity is there for someone to pick a different team to lose to the 49ers, except everyone knows it will be the Bills.

39

ISTR someone at ESPN (Berman?) making Niners-Bills their preseason Super Bowl pick every year in the 90s when both teams were very good. Never happened.

40

For several years, he probably was half-right.
