The playoff teams are set, so it’s time for our annual contest – can you predict the Super Bowl a month before the game and join our list of champions?: [Year 1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=231858): **Trillionaire** [Year 2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294932): **Uncommon Sense** [Year 3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352167): **Airman Doors, USAF** [Year 4](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=402369): **Grits and Hard Toast** [Year 5](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=449706): **Hal Briston** (woohoo!) [Year 6](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=499473): **dalej42** So how about this year? A two-time champ, or our seventh new winner? Let’s find out… It’s simple to play – just post your pick for the two Super Bowl teams, and the final score. Deadline for submissions will be 4:00pm Eastern on Saturday, January 9th (just before kickoff of the first playoff game). Since my annual pick of the Giants isn’t looking too likely this year, I’m going to go with the game we were robbed of in 2006: **Colts over the Saints, 37-34** 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: New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts NFC Teams: Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints ---

Chargers 27 Saints 22 Haven’t followed the AFC much this year so a bit of a WAG. But pretty sure it won’t be the Colts or the Vikings in any event. ---
