How confident are you in your team? I propose we make a bet on the game. Not for money, but for a temporary sig line. The people betting on the team that ends up losing have to post a sig line with all their posts for “1 week” (_of the people betting on the winning teams choice_). So who’s got the balls to play? What team’s your bet? As for me: I’m rooting for the NY Giants. 😉 ---

I bet I don’t know who’s playing until after the game is over. I don’t follow football, so I have no clue now who’s playing or where. (And don’t try to tell me now! I’m peeking through my fingers as I write this so I won’t see if it’s already in the thread 😃 ) ---

**Ravens** will win. They will win because they wear Purple and their Head Coach Brian Billick graduated from the same high school as I did.🆒 The Gints have been set-up by the Vikings(much like me:mad:} by making them think they have an offense, they don’t.😛 The only thing offensive in NFC Championship game was the Viking defense.☹ The line for next years Viking bandwagon starts here. I am sick. ---
