7 are still alive: - **Jack\_Batty** : Patriots 35, Rams 24 - **Mighty\_Mouse** : Patriots 24, Rams 16 - **peccavi** : Patriots 31, Seahawks 27 - **Telemark** : Patriots 24, Seahawks 10 - **Munch** : Seahawks 31, Patriots 10 - **Jegpeg** : Seahawks 20, Patriots 13 - **Jahiegel2.0** : Seahawks 24, Patriots 20 We have picks with SEA over NE (3) and NE over SEA (2). And we have NE beating LAR (2). The only scenario we don’t have is LAR beating the NE. ---

If I weren’t a homegrown Patriots fan, I’d almost root for the Rams to win the Superbowl, just cause a little chaos over here. ---

If Nix hadn’t gotten hurt I’m sure I would still be in it. Oh well, I’m just glad Seattle will be there. ---
