All right – the postseason field is set, so it’s that time of year again – time to see who can make the most accurate Super Bowl prediction more than a month ahead of time. In [year 1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=231858), it was **Trillionaire** who beat the pack. [Year 2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294932), **Uncommon Sense** schooled the rest of us. In [Year 3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352167), it was **Airman Doors, USAF** who walked away with all the marbles. In [Year 4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=402369), it was **Grits and Hard Toast** who came away with the crown. And [last season](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=449706), it was yours truly, **Hal Briston** , who called for a Giants win over the Pats to come away with the title. Will this be the year we get our first two-time winner, or will a new name be added to the coveted list? We’ll find out in five weeks. It’s simple to play – just post your pick for the two Super Bowl teams, and the final score. I’ll be calling for a repeat of last year (both here and in the Super Bowl) by picking the **Giants over the Steelers, 24-17**. As always, just in case you don’t follow football but still wanna play along, just pick an AFC team, an NFC team, and a couple of numbers that sound vaguely football-scorish. AFC Teams: Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens NFC Teams: New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles ---

**Eagles 20, Titans 14** Since Philly has to play three games on the road I don’t actually think this is the most likely scenario, but the Eagles are definitely the scariest team in the playoffs to me, so I’ll have some fun and go with the longshot. ---

As fun as a Giants-Steelers super bowl would be for me out in Pittsburgh, I am going to take the Giants over the Colts, 31-28. ---
