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: Trillionaire
Year 2: Uncommon Sense
Year 3: Airman Doors, USAF
Year 4: Grits and Hard Toast
Year 5: Hal Briston (woohoo!)
Year 6: dalej42
Year 7: Justin_Bailey
Year 8: Hamlet
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 7th (just before kickoff of the first playoff game).
For this year, I’m going with a repeat of my year-five winning pick: Giants over the Patriots, 38-35.
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 England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals
NFC Teams:
Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons
