5th Annual SDMB Early Super Bowl Pick Contest

I can’t say I was sorry to see Indy go, but I’m truely puzzled by San Diego. It’s gonna be one hell of a game.

I’d be more than happy to be even more wrong than I am currently.

And with the close of Conference Championship Sunday, we’ve got our winner: Me! :smiley:

Thanks for playing, everyone – and be amazed in two weeks time how my “zero chance” prediction becomes the “uncannily accurate” one. :slight_smile:

Dude, I hope more than you can possibly imagine that you are incorrect about the score. Hack the 3 off of New England and make it 38-5. That’s more in line with what I want to see.

Congratulations, welcome to the small pantheon of (lucky) prognosticators. Next year I’ll be the first two-time winner, if only because I’m the only one to have the stones to go with the Steelers every single year.

Well done!

And I hope you are right about that score…would make for a very exciting game.

Congratulations.

Do I have to Fed Ex the Crown back to you? Or do you give out new ones each year?
(I am very glad I previewed this post. I had orginally written something else, but for some reason the result ended up looking like this)

:::::passing Crown to Hal::::::::

:eek: I think that might be another type of contest!
