Well, even though my choice for teams seems to be the most common, I’m one of only two to predict the Pats winning: Patriots 34, Packers 28 ---

49ers 26, Patriots 23 This means that an incredible 16 players collectively from these two teams will miss the Pro Bowl (along with ten 49er alternates and an unknown number of Patriot alternates). ---

So 12 people picked a Packer/Ravens Super Bowl, and 10 people think it’s Packers/Patriots (plus a few more Packers/_somebody_ picks). Now I really want the Packers to lose. ---

Only two picks for the Steelers? Looks like I’ll have this one wrapped up early again this year. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > You missed me. Post previous to your list. Bizarre – I did have you, but I guess there was a copy-and-paste error, since half the field was missing. Here’s the full list (including Omni, 'cause what the hell, I scoff at my own rules all the time too), updated for the Bengals getting booted: BOTH ALIVE: **Hal Briston** - Giants 38, Patriots 35 **MsRobyn** - Steelers 24, Saints 21 **UFC Is Sux** - Packers 48, Patriots 45 **ugly ripe tomato** - Giants 28, Broncos 23 **Shinna Minna Ma** - Ravens 24, Packers 17 **Oakminster** - Saints 31, Ravens 13 **MemoryDump** - 49ers 24, Ravens 17 **Frosted Glass** - Giants 24, Steelers 17 **wheresgeorge04** - Packers 31, Ravens 14 **Blunt** - Packers 54, Broncos 6 **Little Nemo** - Packers 42, Patriots 28 **Snake Plissken** - Patriots 31, Packers 28 **PSXer** - Broncos 22, Packers 21 **Shawn K** - Saints 31, Patriots 38 **An Arky** - Packers 3, Patriots 2 **Locrian** - Ravens 28, Packers 21 **Frank** - Saints 27, Ravens 24 **Wolverine** - Packers 35, Ravens 24 **minlokwat** - Packers 37, Patriots 31 **Kiros** - Patriots 37, Saints 35 **Barkis is Willin’** - Saints 38, Patriots 21 **Gray Ghost** - Ravens 27, 49ers 16 **PacifistPorcupine** - Ravens 24, 49ers 17 **FuriousGeorge** - Saints 38, Patriots 24 **Hamlet** - Packers 31, Ravens 23 **Justin\_Bailey** - Packers 28, Ravens 20 **It’s Not Rocket Surgery!** - Packers 28, Ravens 17 **Fear the Turtle** - Ravens 20, Packers 17 **Enginerd** - Ravens 23, Packers 20 **Chessic Sense** - Packers 27, Ravens 23 **Suburban Plankton** - Packers 35, Steelers 21 **Skammer** - Packers 41, Patriots 38 **Jackknifed Juggernaut** - Steelers 33, Saints 31 **ShadowFacts** - Patriots 34, 49ers 27 **Stink Fish Pot** - Steelers 21, Saints 20 **dalej42]** - Packers 38, Patriots 31 **digs** - Packers 31, Patriots 28 **Jules Andre** - Ravens 28, 49ers 26 **bouv** - Patriots 34, Packers 28 **garygnu** - 49ers 26, Patriots 23 **sitchensis** - Packers 34, Ravens 17 **SenorBeef** - Packers 38, Ravens 31 **Omniscient** - Saints 38 - Ravens 17 ONE GONE: **notfrommensa** - Falcons 35, [del]Bengals[/del] 24 ---

> [@MsRobyn](#): > > Only two picks for the Steelers? Looks like I’ll have this one wrapped up early again this year. I count three. What’s interesting is that we all picked the Steelers to play the Saints. Were we all drawn to the possibility of the first all-black and gold Super Bowl? MsRobyn - Steelers 24, Saints 21 Jackknifed Juggernaut - Steelers 33, Saints 31 Stink Fish Pot - Steelers 21, Saints 20 Airman Doors - Steelers 24, Saints 21 (I think I recall that MsRobyn and Airman Doors are together… is that correct? If not, 4 Steeler votes), ---

Both posts were mine. As I said in the edits, damn shared computers made that happen. Robin would NEVER make a prediction like that, she’s a Cowboys fan. As for the number of Steelers predictions, I used the incomplete master list. Since we’re two of three correctly predicting the winning team and we have the same losing team and virtually the same scores, we may have our first co-champions this year. I’d be OK with that as a previous winner, I can share the glory. Hell, you and **Jackknifed Juggernaut** can have the title so long as the Steelers win. ---
