Super Bowl Predictions
 

OK, just for snickers and grins, who are your picks for the 2 teams to play in Super Bowl?

And, what is your prediction for score?

Steelers 24 - Packers 27

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Steelers 347, Packers -3 :D

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Giants 1, Pats forfeit.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Patriots 23 Falcons 12

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Seahawks 21 Chiefs 17

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Raiders 12 (all FGs) Someone Else 77 (all TD passes over 30 yards)

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Seriously you guys? I know we all have our favorites, but let's try to make some serious predictions.

I think the Steelers are going in hot right now. I think the easily beat the Dolphins, they are ashamed of the earlier game. They go into Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs a second time. And of course, they face off against the Patriots. I have a feeling they come out on top.

As for the Packers, yes, I am a Packers fan, but...
Ely has come into Green Bay and done it before, this time I think that GB says, "Not in our house!" I see the Lions beating Seattle because they are more hungry. The Cowboys beat the Lions, Atlanta cannot overcome Rodgers. And in Dallas, experience beats the rookies.

This is the recipe for why I believe it is Steelers/Packers in Super Bowl.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I've got my Steeler vs. anyone.
They have a long road between here and the dance, though.
They're healthy. That's big.
If they stay healthy and can get through NE without getting their secondary completely disassembled, I don't think they'll have trouble with anyone they meet in the Super Bowl.
I'd like for it to be Green Bay because they're always an injury or two away from it being curtains.

It's just tough for me to see yet, Todd.
After this week's games and getting a look at the play, let's revisit this.
I think all 4 home teams are going to take the wins, New York and Green Bay being the best game.
Pittsburgh and Miami being the most frustrating. :D

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Not in our house, Todd? Seriously? Seems to me the last two playoff head-to-heads at Lambeau went to Big Blue, not Green-and-Gold. That means nothing tomorrow, but nothing either way. Don't be surprised if the Giants win, then fly back home to celebrate off the NJ Turnpike at the Vince Lombardi Service Area. :r

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I know the history, that's why I think that they are going in with a new attitude of "not-this-time". I must admit, that of all the teams we could have faced, this one worries me the most (as a Packer fan).

By the way, I am not picking the Packers because I want to Packers to be the team, it is a calculated guess based upon what I see as the teams in the play-offs.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Hey, I get that. The whole point of this exercise is to make a prediction here and see where it will fall out in the end. That's the fun of it!

Take a risk, make a prediction.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

AFC
Wild Card Weekend Steelers 22 - Dolphins 16 & Texans 24 - Raiders 17
Division Round Weekend Steelers 31 - Chiefs 17 & Patriots 42 - Texans 20
Conference Championship Steelers 38 - Patriots 34


NFC
Wild Card Weekend Packers 34 - Giants 31 & Lions 27 - Seahawks 24
Division Round Weekend Packers 41 - Falcons 38 & Cowboys 31 - Lions 20
Conference Championship Packers 24 - Cowboys 21

Which brings us to the Super Bowl
Steelers 24 - Packers 27

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I gotta go Steelers 21 Packers 12, or Steelers 32 Dallas 13.
Either is equally possible to me right now, but my "get past the Pats" mojo ain't what it should be. Yet.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

serious predictions New England 27 Packers 21

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Cowboys 31/ Patriots 24.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Ooops, had the 4 & 7 reversed. Texans 27 - Raiders 14 FINAL

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Amazing catch by Richardson.
Big men make big plays in big games. :tu

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Yeah, as he had his fingers buried in the facemask of the defender, yanking his head around. :)

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

When I watch the progression of the play, the facemask is defensive reaction.
As in the only opportunity for Richardson to make the play after being totally molested.
There's no way, at full speed, he could have had any idea what he did.
Nor did anyone else in the stadium or in New York. In real time it was so fast it was nothing.
It took a whole period for the talking heads to discover it and make a point of it.

Good penalty to take right there for Detroit, because the defense was clearly beat for an easy td.
At least they'd have had chance to stop the score.

I liked the no call there, and I don't have a dog in the fight.
My thinking that the first penalty caused the second one, and it was inadvertant.

There's 7:30 left in the 4th and Detroit has been in this till just a few minutes ago.
No matter how we slice it, Detroit made a quality showing against a juggernaut.
I'd like to see a garbage td just so the record books show 19-13.
Detroit had a solid season and solid playoff game to build on.
I stand impressed, Rev. :tu

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Was just stirring the pot. I think it was a good "no call" as well.

I am impressed with how Seattle played tonight. I really did expect the Lions to do better. Although, as you say, they were in it all the way. The score is not indicative of the closeness of the game.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I apologize.

Steelers 72, Packers -2. :)

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I'm going with the Pack beating the Steelers as well.

Pack 27 - Steelers 21

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

AFC
Wild Card Weekend Steelers 22 - Dolphins 16

I do not think this will go as I predicted.

NFC
Wild Card Weekend Lions 27 - Seahawks 24

This one also did not go as predicted. So, I will fix up my NFC side of the bracket.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Ah, I see how this works, Todd. I will put in my prediction right after the SB ends. :D ;) ;s

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

New England!

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Pats 35. Packers 17

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Lions lose, messing up the next week's predictions as well. But, Packers beat the Cowboys a week earlier is all.

I can still get the Super Bowl prediction correct, but it is the intervening NFC games that will not be correct.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Steelers and Cowboys. Iron City pulls out a close one.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I went 4/4 Toddski. Plus I called the Pens game.
If you'd like me to lay out bets for you next week, I'll be happy to get you to the book. :D
Seahawks, Pats, Steelers, and Packers next week.
Subject to change after I see how the injuries went.
I don't like taking 3 away teams, but I'm gonna. So far.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I like to do the predictions for fun with friends, but do not bet.

OK, let me say it this way, I do not go out and place bets for money. I may challenge a friend for dinner rights over a game, I may even put a 5er on the line with a pool somewhere, but I do not place bets per se.

I'd have to change my predictions on the NFC side, but I agree with the Steeler and Patriots. I also agree with the Packers. But I think the Falcons will beat the Seahawks.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Cheating a little bit after seeing the games but I am going to say this year it is ....

New England 24 - Seattle 13

Kills me to say this as a Raiders fan but I don't think Atlanta has the enough offense to overcome its defense and I don't think the Chiefs have enough offense to keep their defense off the field. Cowboys have rookies and the Steelers are going to have to show 100% and stay healthy to have an outside shot. Giants don't have a running game and Houston doesn't have a quarterback.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

It will be a close game between Kansas City and Green Bay

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

For nostalgia's sake, that would be a great game. Repeat of Super Bowl I.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I can't make a prediction, but I can express my hope:

Anybody But Cowboys over Anybody But Patriots.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

:tpd:

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Patriots over Atlanta by 4

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I'm with Longknocker but different winner and score.

Patriots over Dallas 31 to 23

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

I haven't watched the last two weeks after fantasy season ended so in all fairness, that was my prediction before wild card games. Now to see how the wild card games went and catch up on football.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

F**k the Patriots.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

You wouldn't like it, they just lay there. ;)

Re: Super Bowl Predictions

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Dave wants his balls deflated.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Patriots 56 - "Whoever" 17 :D

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Ooops, you missed on that one!

I hope all the rest of them are correct.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

My predictions for today are Dallas over GB and the other game is pretty tough being Chiefs vs Steelers. I'm leaning to the Chiefs as I doubt Bell will be able to go BOOM this game.

My two cents.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Wow, go Ty Montgomery!!!!!!!!

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

Halfway there. :tu

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
 

OK, that was an incredible game. Back and forth, back and forth, it was battled to the last second of the game.

Way to go Packers.
