They only need to change the rules for playoff games, which happen every few years. I don't think the union will object.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

The Conference Championship Lines are as follows:
Bengals (+7) @ Chiefs (-7) O/U 54.5
49ers (+3.5) @ Rams (-3.5) O/U 46
Let's call it the same thing and say just to get picks in before 15:00 EST on Sunday, 1/30/22 (kickoff); I'd never have an up to the minute deadline for the regular game, but it's basically fine for the Playoff Game. There will likely be an earlier in the day deadline for the Super Bowl, of course.

Rams open as a 3.5 point favorite in the Superbowl. We all have two weeks to endlessly analyze that one.

My local book has 4 now. I would have guessed Bengals -2 so I guess I can forget about a guest appearance on the Stardust Lines Show.
Interesting that exactly half of the players are above .500 and half below.I sort of like Cincy +170 at my local book.

I'm sorry about that! It seems EdCollins has recognized them, but I also added them to that post as a formality. I must have accidentally closed the tab that contained your picks when I was compiling them. That's usually how I do it---just open them all at once in new tabs.

I'm looking forward to see the ten questions for this year's contest.
These were the ten questions the last time we held the contest, two years ago:
1) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the third quarter as in the first quarter?
2) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the second quarter as in the fourth quarter?
3) Will the team that calls the toss be correct?
4) Will the first score of the game be a touchdown?
5) Will Patrick Mahomes have at least 100 more passing yards than Jimmy Garoppolo?
6) Will Patrick Mahomes be credited with six or more rushes? (Not yards, number of carries)
7) If we multiply the points scored in the fourth quarter by three and then subtract two, will that result be MORE points than was scored in the first three quarters combined?
8) Will at least one two-point conversion be attempted in this game?
9) If overtime DOES NOT count, will 27 or more points be scored in the second half?
10) Will there be a failed 4th Down Conversion attempt in this game?

Greetings!
The Super Bowl Lines and Prop Questions are as follows:
Super Bowl kickoff is 18:30 EST on Sunday, so I think that 17:00 EST will be a reasonable time to require that the picks be submitted.
Please make both of your Picks AND answer all of the Super Bowl questions. For tiebreaker purposes, please also (separately) predict the exact score of the game.
Los Angeles Rams (-4) v. Cincinnati Bengals (+4) O/U 48.5
PROP QUESTIONS:
1) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the third quarter as in the first quarter?
2) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the second quarter as in the fourth quarter?
3) Will the team that calls the toss be correct?
4) Will the first score of the game be a touchdown?
5.) Will at least one two-point conversion be attempted in this game?
6.) Will there be a failed 4th Down Conversion attempt in this game?
7.) If we subtract one from the number of TD passes thrown (by both teams), will the number of TD's thrown still meet or exceed the combined number of interceptions thrown and fumbles LOST by both teams?
8.) Will Matthew Stafford have more passing yards than Joe Burrow in this game?
9.) Will the longest FG MADE in this game exceed the yardage of the longest pass completion?
10.) Will there be at least three combined rushing TD's in this game?

Can you review what the points are for this weekend? Is each question worth 1 point and the game and O/U worth 4 points each, or something like that?

That is exactly correct, so getting the spread, O/U and all questions right makes as many as 18 points possible.

Is it too late to re-phrase #8?
All of the other questions are YES or NO questions. If we rephrase #8 to: "Will Stafford have more passing yards than Burrow?" than that also becomes a YES or NO question.

Thanks. And if everyone could send Mission their 12 picks on 12 separate lines like this:

Rams -4
Under 48.5
1.Yes
2.No
3.Yes
4.No
5.Yes
6.No
7.Yes
8.No
9.Yes
10.No
Or even as simple as
EdCollins:
Rams
Under
Yes
No
Yes
No
Yes
No
Yes
No
Yes
No
that would help me. (Later today I will be writing a simple VBA script that will read Mission's post of everyone's predictions. The script will add everyone's picks to my scoring spreadsheet, so I won't have to do it manually on Sunday.) I'll be writing my script to anticipate this 12 line format. Thanks.
Enjoy the game and have fun.

I'm pretty sure that's also with the teams, not just the score. Mission will confirm. And if that line can be added last to your picks, that would be great. So now a proper submission will be a total of 13 lines, with the tiebreaker last.

Teams and score. I know people going for the, 'You Suck,' prize could gimmick the score for tiebreaker purposes, but they'd still have to get the winner wrong.

Yes, these are the standings.
I wish it were still wide open.
IndyJeffrey is 3.5 points ahead of me. That pretty much means I have to pick differently from him, for either the spread or the total, AND I have to get both correct.
Anything less and it will be almost impossible to catch him.
With ten props, many of our our prop picks will be the same. I have to hope we pick opposite on several of them and I have to win those.
A lead of four points or more is actually hard to overcome.

I've received two PM's with specific SB predictions, which are accepted. I haven't added them to the list, but will do if it ends up being relevant.

I believe these are the answers to all ten prop questions. If someone could double-check me, that would be great.
1) Will an equal or LESSER number of points be scored in the third quarter as in the first quarter?
NO. 3rd Quarter had MORE. (3rd = 13. 1st = 10.)
2) Will an equal or LESSER number of points be scored in the second quarter as in the fourth quarter?
NO. 2nd Quarter had MORE. (2nd = 13. 4th = 7.)
3) Will the team that calls the toss be correct?
NO. (Rams, as the designated visiting team, called it and were wrong.)
4) Will the first score of the game be a touchdown?
YES. (Odell Beckham Jr. Pass from Stafford for 17 Yards.)
5.) Will at least one two-point conversion be attempted in this game?
YES. (Maybe. ESPN is apparently calling this botched 1-point try an unsuccessful 2-point try. Since they initially lined up and attempted a 1-point try, it seems to me it should be an unsuccessful 1-point try, but what do I know.)
6.) Will there be a failed 4th Down Conversion attempt in this game?
YES. (Bengals attempted to convert a 4th down early, and failed.)
7.) If we subtract one from the number of TD passes thrown (by both teams), will the number of TD's thrown still meet or exceed the combined number of interceptions thrown and fumbles LOST by both teams?
YES. (5 TD passes - 1 = 4 > 2 interceptions.)
8.) Will Matthew Stafford have more passing yards than Joe Burrow in this game?
YES. (Stafford 283 > Burrow 263)
9.) Will the longest FG MADE in this game exceed the yardage of the longest pass completion?
NO. (Longest pass play was 75 yards.)
10.) Will there be at least three combined rushing TD's in this game?
NO. (Zero rushing TDs)

If I graded the ten prop questions correctly, I believe these are the final standings.

Well, I screwed myself. I took 10 days off from the forum and returned a few hours before the game to enter my superbowl picks -which I went 2 for 2 on. But I simply didn't notice the prop questions that had been listed several days earlier, so I didn't submit picks for them. My fault entirely; and I can't imagine that I would have been particularly skillful at picking those prop questions anyway.
I would have needed 6/10 correct picks on the props to finish in the money. Oh well.

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

To give an example of how much money is wagered on this game, I sold four comics for $3600 to three different buyers within five minutes of the game ending, and turned down $9500, and then $9700 on another book. I've never seen that after a Super Bowl before. Hopefully, this is the start of a good week.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

Congratulations to IndyJeffrey on the win, Wizard on the second place finish, JML24 on third place and UnJon for getting the, "You Suck," prize!
I'll be sending some PM's out either later today or tomorrow as relates payouts.
I can confirm that there was a failed Two Point Conversion in the game as that goes down as a 2 PT Attempt (Incomplete Pass) as there was no Extra Point try that either missed or was blocked. That's how it is scored when that happens, as a failed 2PT, so that is correct.

Thank God that is over! I would have come in third picking opposite of what I did pick! Brutal.
It was still fun.
Thanks for having the contest and letting me play.
I will do better on any future contests. You can bet on it!

It's not a sin if you don't win, but it's a tragedy if you don't try.
Be happy and have fun!

Hello VegasBrent. I agree that you are very likely to do better in the future, I mean, there aren't that many spots below you. Hehehe.....
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart
