For The Record.....

I'm predicting the New England Patriots will win tomorrow's Super Bowl by at least 10 points.

My Final Score prediction:

New England Patriots 41
Seattle Seahawks 17

Anyone else care to make their final predictions?

Wow! You sure do have some confidence in NE.


New England 20
Seattle 24

I hate them, but I think they're going to kick butt tomorrow.

I hope you're right!

For The Record.....

I'm predicting the New England Patriots will win tomorrow's Super Bowl by at least 10 points.

Anything is possible, I suppose, but I don't have either team winning by that large a margin, at least not on average.

My Final Score prediction:

New England Patriots 41
Seattle Seahawks 17

Anyone else care to make their final predictions?

Sure, though I tend to run spread averages.

On average the Pats come away with between 20-27 points and the Seahawks between 19-30. So I have the Hawks as a bit of a wild card.

If I had to settle it's either Pats 21-20 or Seattle 24-21.

I'll take Seattle on a hunch but who knows.

Terry Bradshaw has been one of the greatest Super Bowl predictors of all time.

His greatest moment was in 1990 when he said San Fran would beat Denver 55-3, and the final score was 55-10

Just watch what Terry said last year before the playoffs started:

I get two or three games every week dead on the score. So it's a good guess, but the Niners went in a near two td favorite to draw the money. That big a beat down was surprising, but no one really expected Denver to be competitive.

Is there a site where his Super Bowl calls can be found year to year?

Most of them have been predictable, outside of a streak when the Pats were carving out fg wins.

On Super Bowl Eve, I feel compelled to talk about Cleveland. Yes, Cleveland.

The only NFL teams to never play in a Super Bowl are the Detroit Lions, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, & Houston Texans.

However, Detroit, Jacksonville, and Houston have all hosted Super Bowls.

Therefore, Cleveland is the only NFL city that has had nothing to do with a Super Bowl in any way, shape, or form.

So that's a no? You just heard he was great at it (like, really, a lot of people) or do you know what his actual average is or how often he comes close to the actual score and how often he doesn't?

Good video link though. lain:

So that's a no?

I'll see what I can come up with.

What state has produced the most Super Bowl winning quarterbacks?

10) California - Jim Plunkett (2), Troy Aikman (3), Trent Dilfer (1), Tom Brady (3), Aaron Rogers (1)

8) Louisiana - Terry Bradshaw (4), Doug Williams (1), Peyton Manning (1), Eli Manning (2)

7) Pennsylvania - Joe Namath (1), Johnny Unitas (1), Joe Montana (4), Jeff Hostetler (1)

6) Ohio - Len Dawson (1), Roger Staubach (2), Ben Roethlisberger (2), Russell Wilson (1)

3) Alabama - Bart Starr (2), Ken Stabler (1)
3) New Jersey - Joe Theisman (1), Jim McMahon (1), Joe Flacco (1)

Tomorrow, either California or Ohio will add to their totals.

3) Alabama - Bart Starr (2), Ken Stabler (1)

Not bad for a state without a pro team or a rich tradition of passing the ball a great deal. And we gain one if you go by state institutions instead of birth place, since we'd keep Stabler and Starr and add Namath making the University of Alabama the source of as many Super Bowl starting signal callers as any school, ever, tied with Notre Dame and Perdue.

Alabama and Louisiana have 11 combined, while New York, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Virginia, & Texas have ONE amongst all of them. (Drew Brees - Texas).

Throw in Mississippi (Brett Favre - 1), and the Bayou states have done very well.

If you rank by wins instead of starts, only Alabama and Perdue have 3 different QB's

If you rank by starts, Alabama, Perdue, Notre Dame, and Cal have 3 different QB's

By Starts:

Alabama:

Bart Starr
Joe Namath
Ken Stabler

Perdue:

Len Dawson
Bob Griese
Drew Brees

Notre Dame:

Daryl Lamonica
Joe Montana
Joe Theisman

Cal:

Joe Kapp
Craig Morton
Aaron Rogers

Up California (2) John Elway.

 

[tetelestai]

Up California (2) John Elway.

John Elway was born in the state of Washington.

John Elway didn't move to California until he was 16

Therefore, John Elway counts for Washington, not California.

Congrats to Jerome Bettis for being selected into the HOF today !!!!

Another Steeler at Canton.

I must say that I do think that the two best teams in pro football will be playing in this SuperBowl... Unlike last year, when the real SuperBowl was played between the 49ers and the Hawks... The Denver game was an after-thought...
Even so, I seriously doubt there will be much question if the game is evenclose at the end of the first half... Seattle will take it hands down... New England had better get a 24 point lead at the half if they expect to hang on to win, and even then, I would bet against them...

Seattle is just too good a second half team...

Congrats to the Bus. I was wondering if they'd penalize Pace and Warner and I'm disappointed at Kurt having to wait, but not shocked. Next year should be his year.
