Predict the Super Bowl -- Official WoV Contest
Quote: Mission146Excellent point, FarFromVegas, my apologies. I should have thrown a, "Most," or, "Some," in there somewhere.
I can cop to liking a team if they have a hot quarterback, though...;)

It's cool, I was watching U.S.A. Women's Olympic Indoor Volleyball for Logan Tom, long legs and she looks so angry when she plays. Hot.

And...another sports fan is born!
I watched because now my daughter wants to play. She's resigned herself to the fact she'll be too tall for gymnastics, since she's as tall as the fifth graders and she's in second grade.
Quote: SwitchYes, the 'L' would serve as a tiebreaker ... 2 identical picks is unlikely but the 'L' would lose on that tiebreaker if it came up.
Anyone who has already picked should not be allowed to change their picks after a set of results IMO.
Those who pick late (after an obvious typo') should have some form of handicap against those who picked from the start.
It was not an obvious typo to me. I juts glanced at it and thought Wiz was waiting till playoffs teams had been decided. My mistake, but an honest one. I picked Patriot over Eagles by 3. Anybody want to explain how I became an AP player ?
Laying odds no one else will have the same teams. It is a long, long season.
It's not like I "snookered" anyone !
I picked Peyton Manning over SanFran by 16.
Quote: FaceI also didn't take it as a typo. If it makes it better, I can't watch football, so I gained no extra advantage.

You can't watch football?

I don't have TV.
Quote: FaceI don't have TV.
There are places that have TVs that show football if you were so inclined.
Quote: buzzpaffFace, if you win, I think you should get to take home for a weekend " La Coupe Stanley " !
I wouldn't if offered. To me, it is sacrosanct. It's not some bits of metal and plastic churned out every year, it's one mighty congregation of every warrior who's ever EARNED the right to hoist it since 1892.
I'll never earn it, so I won't ever so much as touch it.
Quote: FinsRuleThere are places that have TVs that show football if you were so inclined.
I work on football days, so sportsbars (or the TV section of Walmart) are also out. About all I could do is swing a camera off the high limit tables and point it at the TVs in the pit, and I'm fresh out of ideas to justify doing that ;)
As far as advantage play goes, as a matter of fact I have graduated to that status, so I can see I just can't help myself anymore, it's coming natural to me now [g].
Quote: WizardJust a reminder that picks are due by 9:59 AM this Sunday. You may not choose Chic or GB at this point. Also, I posted the picks thus far for a short time, but later removed them, to not give anybody who hasn't picked yet an unfair advantage. Sorry to bust your post quoting the picks so far SOOPOO.
Wizard, will you be giving us your official pick at that time?
Quote: FinsRuleWizard, will you be giving us your official pick at that time?
Sure. I would not go betting money on it though.
Kansas City over San Fran by 6
Yes, of course I'm a Chief fan.
(I think Pats win this year)
Quote: ZaylaI'm sorry I joined the site too late to jump in on this one, so I could be wrong, like I am every year. The NFL is one of my passions, though I'd never bet a dime on it. Since it doesn't count, and no, I would NOT suggest this if it did:

I made one NFL future bet this year - Chiefs under 7.5 wins. Hopefully one of us is happy.

If they don't win at least 10, the season will be a colossal failure. They have WAY too much talent on both sides of the ball not to. Very few people who don't actually pay attention to the Chiefs know that.

You've still got 20 hours. Your pick won't count unless you PM it to me.

Well, few experts agree with that assessment.

Kansas City will be closer to 10 losses than 10 wins. That is indeed a colossal failure !
Quote: buzzpaffKansas City will be closer to 10 losses than 10 wins. That is indeed a colossal failure !
I concede. What a disappointment. I've been watching the Chiefs long enough to actually have seen them win the Super Bowl. This is the most disappointed I've been since 1997.
I've always been pretty realistic and knew they were going to suck or be mediocre, etc., but they have no excuse for giving up 75 points in two games. NONE.
I have to suffer through all the Chief fans who dump all the blame on Matt Cassel and the truth is, he didn't suck any more than the whole team. It was a team suck ass effort.
I hope my language doesn't get suspended or something????
Very bummed out.
Now they have New Orleans and Baltimore and San Diego.
Quote: Mission146I believe you can swear for emphasis, regarding the Chiefs, you might get banned for NOT throwing out any F-Bombs!!!
Yes, that does seem more reasonable. They fking suck!
Either my bet wins or the Iggles go to the show. Just a gut feelin on this...
I watched them win the AFL championship in 1962 as the Dallas Texans. LOL
And I collected from chumps betting on them in 1960.
Some things never change.

My wins bet is looking quite promising.
Quote: buzzpaffWhen you collect do NOT parlay on the Kentucky Derby Future pool !
I'm a sucker, of course I'll lose it on the Derby.
Quote: odiousgambitGeez, I had to check to see if two were the same!
PS: well, different winners and losers
That reduces my chances of winning as even if my 2 get to the final odiousgambit would win on a 7+ margin.
Quote: s2dbakerI made my pick but after watching the Jets in Pittsburgh yesterday, I wish I could take it back! The Jets need to find a quarterback!
Don't worry s2dbaker, Tebow will save you!
Quote: AyecarumbaDon't worry s2dbaker, Tebow will save you!
Week 1 was an aberration in the space time continuum, at least in Jets land.
Quote: thecesspitWeek 1 was an aberration in the space time continuum, at least in Jets land.
So the Jets big win is the reason the Pats lost in week 2? Balancing the tails on the AFC Universe's bell curve?? Sounds reasonable.
Quote: 98ClubsRG III might get in te way... sigh.
Looks like the 'skins have solved their quarterback problem, injury luck holding up, but now don't have the other things in place. They need a running game for sure, and meanwhile special teams and Defense have developed holes [although maybe the Rams are a sleeper this year]

Time to heat this up. The playoffs are starting to shape up!

Hmmmm, I clearly changed my pick (as per the deadline confusion compromise) to Denver over San Francisco by 4 points, which was noted in this post as well as in a PM sent to the Wiz, and acknowledged by him on 9/11 at 1:08am. I think the Wiz just missed updating my pick in the above-quoted post.
Not trying to be picky or anything, but my second (but still valid) prediction is looking much more likely at this point :).
