New England

In an effort to finish last:

49ers
Broncos

[nolemmings]

Denver
San Francisco

[frankbmd]

the following individuals who participated in the Pool last weekend.

Jlighter - outside chance
Buythatcard - why not
oldjudge - if all of those above drop out
Wildfireschulte - the shirt wont fit anyway
Mikehealer - forget it, buy Zach a drink
ZachS - forget it, buy Mike a drink
lefty147 - not bad for a late starter, but not good at all

The closer you are to the top of this list the better your chances.

[rickybulldog50]

Denver

[irishdenny]

[Jlighter]

Broncos

Thanks

[EvilKing00]

Figured this would be fitting

[yanks12025]

Peyton showed why he's the greatest.

[HRBAKER]

I hope the Niners-Seahawks game is better than the National Anthem.

[frankbmd]

Nine entrants still have a chance to win the shirt and the trophy.
Two if the niners win and seven if the Seahawks win.

The tie breaker (total points) will be required only if Seattle wins. Tune in after the game for details.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

This Seahawks-Niners game is one of the greatest that I have ever seen.

I think it is safe assume that all seven leaders will not agree on their Super Bowl picks. They will therefore be divided into two groups, the Seattle group and the Denver group. All seven will be asked to predict the total points scored (both teams) in the Super Bowl. You must pick a different number of points from the other members of your group. First come first serve as far as duplicate picks are concerned. The person in the winning group whose total points guess is closest to the actual total points wins. In the event of an over/under tie in the points guess, under wins. This should do it. If you are not in the top seven you do not need to pick a point total.

The also rans are listed below. The biggest loser is still in contention.

"don't open your mouth to me! I'm the greatest Cornerback in the game!"

I'm picking Denver over Seattle

[freakhappy]

Although I'm out of it, I'm happily picking the Broncos over Seattle

[vintagetoppsguy]

Agreed.

Both teams covered the spread by almost double the points.

Congrats to Denver and Seattle!

Go Manning!

[wolf441]

Seattle 31 - 20

[rickybulldog50]

Broncos

[frankbmd]

Personally I'm glad that Crabtree didn't catch the last pass in the end zone as Post #317 (duplicated below) was written and ready to go. I did not have the SF wins post ready yet. I'm am duplicating Post #317 so that it will be near the top of the page for those of you who view the 80 post pages as I do.

I don't know whether to pick before or after hoot-owl.

Not sure what else Fox expected there. Sherman and Crabtree are into it. One as bad as the other with the mouth. Boldin gets in his digs. Sherman makes play, Seahawks win. I'm not even bringing up the Harbaugh/Sherman heat/beef.
If you interview players/people that quickly in the heat of the moment, this can happen. They won, he made the play, talk as much as he wants IMO. But, always remember the line in Unforgiven "we've all got it coming". And in sports that rings true as well.

[Big Ben]

Fun Super Bowl fact. This year's Super Bowl features two teams from states that have legalized marijuana. So maybe we need to call this big game the Pot Bowl?

That won't work--They've played on grass before.

[Runscott]

Seattle

50

lol - I picked the only team and total that had already been picked!

[the 'stache]

I'm hoping that Richard Sherman pulls a Eugene Robinson during Super Bowl week.

[barrysloate]

Denver

44 points

Good luck to the others tied at seventeen. With my pick of Denver after Scott's pick of Seattle, sad to say everybody else is eliminated.

[HBroll]

Denver to win it all.

[D. Broughman]

Denver

[Piratedogcardshows]

Denver.Just can't bet against Manning right now.

[Blackie]

Manning directs his Air Assaults with deadly accuracy upon his receivers and hits his targets well. As a Field General ............there are not many better and this is his year.

Go Denver!!!

[Mike (18colt)]

Out of it, but picking Denver, for Manning only, 23-20.

[jcmtiger]

Denver

[JohnP0621]

Ill take Denver 27-17

[Peter_Spaeth]

Seattle.

[ChiSoxFan]

Going with the Broncos ... 58 total points

[mybuddyinc]

I don't know if I should laugh or cry ............

BUT, for you "real" betters out there ..... without Ronnie O'Sullivan or Judd Trump shooting, Mark Selby is some easy money:

Friday, January 24, 2014
13:00 Snooker Shootout 2014 - Outright
Mark Selby +1200

[TUM301]

Seattle 26-24 with M Lynch being the difference.

[pawpawdiv9]

i say both teams are close to be even...But i edge SEATTLE becasue of defense 28-24

[EvilKing00]

although im out of it, id say Denver by at least 10

[vintagetoppsguy]

Out of the points, but I'll guess Denver in a 37-10 blowout.

[bobfreedman]

Denver - 45 points

[frankbmd]

Just wanted to add an update regarding the contest.

1. Dropouts - We had 7 dropouts after the second weekend, 15 dropouts after the first weekend and one dropout before the first weekend. That is perfectly okay, but dropouts are no longer listed in the results listing and do not qualify for the last place trophy.

2. Score guessing is permitted, but matters only for those in the Top 7 listed above as explained in the rules. You can hit the final score on the nose, but if you are not in the Top 7, you will win nada, nothing, zippo.

3. This is a Playoff Pool and not a Super Bowl Pool. We have had a couple of folks entering since last night. You must have participated since the Wild Card games to qualify for anything. Now anything may not be much, but I just want to make that clear.

4. I will make an effort to remind the top 7 to submit their entries in plenty of time to qualify, if they do not make the effort spontaneously. In other words I will lead you to the water, its your choice whether you choose to drink it.

5. We started out with more than 20 more entries than last year, but we may finish with fewer. I will spend the next 12 months focused on the contest rules and will consider tweaking them depending on how the previously untested tie-breaker system survives its maiden voyage.

6. Please confine your selections to the two remaining teams: the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.

That should do it for now.

[BlueSky]

I know I am out of the running, but picking Denver to go all the way.

[barrysloate]

Hi Bob- I already took Denver with 44 points. If the game ends 24-20, we haven't broken the tie.

You edited it as I was typing. Cool.
