21st Annual Super Bowl Early Picks Thread

That’s how I see it too. But that’s for @AlsoNamedBort .

That is correct.

IIRC, way back in the early days of the pool, it was done differently. You took the sum of the prediction and compared it to the sum of the actual score. Which gave the insane possibility of:

Doper 1 predicts 63 - 0 - sum is 63
Doper 2 predicts 33 - 28 - sum is 61

Final score is 33 - 30. - sum is 63
Doper 1 wins.

Thanks!

I believe margin of victory was also first tiebreaker for a while, so you could have something like

Doper 1 predicts 3-0
Doper 2 predicts 24-20

Actual score is 23-20. Doper 1 wins.

Rams 31, Ravens 28

49ers 28, Bills 24

Final bump. 3 hours left to get your picks in.

Ravens 23, 49ers 22

Bills 21, Buccaneers 20

I forgot about this until game time so I’m too late but I’m just going to make a fun pick anyway.

Browns 30
Detroit 23

The Texans just took the lead. Still only the 1st quarter, at the end of it. I’m okay if we take @SenorBeef ’s pick, but it’s up to the thread owner.

Close game. Hunt doing good.

No fully eliminated yet. With the Buccs and the Texans still in it, I think everyone still has a chance.

To be fair, those of us who picked the Ravens and 49ers had a “bye” week and couldn’t possibly lose. :wink:

Well, like they say…

I sorted the lists but was unable to keep the formatting. HTH

Somehow I wound up a “w” in my name. (Probably fat-fingered.) Can that be fixed please?

Pipe down, Showless.

Now they have shoes!
