Looks like the pool is now wide open too as to who has a shot at winning it. BTW? What does the winner get?

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Bragging rights only I would guess. So when is John posting the scores?

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

John's probably in shock.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Why would he be in shock? :joke: Only two of the favorites won last weekend. Aren't upsets what makes NFL football worth watching? Really like the NCAA Basketball March Madness brackets with upsets because they unvariably mess up my brackets so much-- those upsets I mean.

Next week I think I will go with Green Bay and New England to prevail over San Diego and New York, respectively.

Would like to see Green Bay win the SB, but it will probably be New England.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT

San Diego at New England
NY Giants at Green Bay

Wow, I'm in good company....

JohnN you gonna come to our superbowl party????

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

I go for the obvious:

Green Bay
New England

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

:bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: As a Giant season ticket holder I'm excited and proud. Go
Big BLUE --lets beat Green Bay---Steve

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Green Bay
New England

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Green Bay
New England (but I really do hope they lose!)

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

since redwitch took NE and GB, I'm inclined to go SD and NYG and buck the odds,
but.... this is not my final answer LOLOLOLOL

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

New England, fer sure

Green Bay.... with some reluctance. G-men are hot but Pack loves the cold.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Patriots beat the Chargers

Packers beat The giants

Patriots beat the Packers in the Super Bowl and make NFL History.

Just try to imagine how all this makes me feel. I am a long suffering Jets fan.

"GO JETS" OY VEY!!!!!!! :#1:?????? :edit: :dontknow:

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Green Bay
New England

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Try it if you've been a Dolfan since 1968. The idea of THAT team being the second undefeated team ever is truly nauseating. The only good thing I can say about the Pats is they showed me just how much I truly loved my Fish -- I actually had tears in my eyes when we lost the 1982 snowplow playoffs.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Well, Green Bay and New England, I can't win this pool, and I think Brett Favre vs. the New England Pats would be a fun game.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

New England
Ny Giants - this way we get a Manning in the Super Bowl - Go Big Blue!!

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Do you fly the Fish flag, Redwitch?

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

New England & GREEN BAY all the WAY :super:#4

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

san diego
giants

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Green Bay

Of course New England Pats :#1:

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

MattN says Green Bay and New England

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Well, my teams are out, long out, some since October. So I gotta jump on that ol bandwagon:

The New England Patriots
The New Jersey Giants.

I understand Favre is moving to TV next year and wants to sign up for the Geezer Jocks games.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

The New Jersey Giants? Did they move to NJ, or did you move them there? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giants_Stadium If their home stadium is in NJ, does that make them the NJ Giants?

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

still missing this week's pics from a few, including our leader, I2ridehd,
also jht and Time for Tee, plus Bubbalarry and jim16q (the latter 2 who didn't put in picks last week), just an update

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Time to make my picks. Now I could take the sure route to victory and select NE and GB because that seems to be the majority choice. And it is also the point spread choice. But never have been one to go the easy way. So at the risk of losing all these hard earned points, my picks are:

New England and the Giants. I still really like GB and they may just prevail, but something about the way the Giants are playing, the way manning is able to motivate the team makes me think they may just go into Green Bay and come home the winners.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

The news a few hours ago had the temperature at -1 F. at game time in Green Bay with a wind chill of -22 F. http://pmc.myweather.net/fc/mc.asp?id=9791

Kind of makes that game rather unpredictable.

When I experienced weather like -22 wind chill in Minneapolis in the winters from 86 through 91, I would often look like the Michelin Man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelin

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

I'm jumping in, hope I don't drown!!!!

My picks: Pat's and Cheeseheads !!! What a game that will be. 040 040

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Wow. I wanted these two teams to win, but they sure didn't look great today. So hopefully we'll see a great game in Arizona. Then the weather won't be an excuse 8)

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Geeze, I thought I won. You guys keep changing the names: New England, New York, New Jersey, San Diego, Green Bay, Cheeseheads, Patriots, Giants, Pats, Chargers, Jets, Oh Vey,
my gosh, what's a dumb, non football fan to do????

So, who finally won, somebody tell me in plain English, please. Thanks,

Kathie :redface: blushing cause she thought she won and didn't

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

At least the Pack won the coin toss !
;D

Congrats to New York and New England and ............... keep it up NY GIANTS!

That's my pick

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

How about them Giants!!! Took two kicks but they did it!!

Bring on the Patriots!!

Kick ass time!!

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

Congrats ZCaveman. :bigthumbsup:

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

As a college kid, I used to work security at Green Bay and Chicago games.
I'll assure you it was beyond freezing yesterday, I can still feel that wicked wind.

One game to go now. G-Men vs Pats
Congratulations to I2ridehd who has picked 8 straight games, missing only the first game (Jax-Pitt). He has clinched a tie for first place regardless of the SuperBowl outcome with 17 points to date, with 22 folks participating in our prestigious handicapping pool here. Here are the standings. If you have 9 points or less (like me) then don't quit your day job because you've chosen less than 50%.

17 points - I2ridehd - Our leader
13 points - Muncle, DickY, zcaveman - still in the hunt

Very Respectable but eliminated from first place contention are:
12 points - beartrack
11 points - Taltarzak
10 points - schotzby, villages07, ejp52, aLn
9 points - JoannP

The rest of us - good lookin' but not great at football selections:
7 points - Kathie1, JohnN, tony, redwitch, MattN
6 points - Time for Tee
4 points - jht
3 points - Bubbalarry, beady, jim16q

I love underdogs and perfection is a bit much , so... even though I picked against 'em every time thinking they played out against the Pats earlier, and couldn't win on the road.
My pick for the SuperBowl - NY Giants

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

I will go with whom I would like to win now-- the Giants. Nothing to lose with respect to winning the pool.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Giants

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 

:bigthumbsup: New England Patriots :#1:
will defintely beat out the
New York Giants........

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 

Don't think this Manning has the experience to get it done. Guess we shall see. Got to believe the Pats want this record (unbeaten) bad. New England 31- Giants 21
