Super Bowl Picks

And we're all set for Sunday...well, almost. No picks submitted for our last place post-season contestant Mr. Roe...but even with a 28 pt week he couldn't finish in the money, so we'll let it go.

First - for 18 points and likely the Championship of the world - the actual game picks:

We are split right down the middle 4:4.

COLTS -5: JG, MK, AW, MH
NO +5: JR, GR, MC, SS

Now the prop bets worth 1 pt each:
O/U 55.5: JR and GR on the UNDER...all else on the OVER
1st TD: MK, MH, MC on INDY...all else on NO
Def/SpT TD?: MK, AW, MH say YES...all else say NO
More FG's: 8 for 8 on INDY...nobody is trusting the young fella for NO
Last to score: JR, JG, MC, SS all on INDY...rest on NO
Score in first 6:30: JG is the only one who said NO...how can you bet against this? Especially you Jared?!?
O/U 3.5 turnovers: JG, AW, GR all say OVER...rest on UNDER
More rush yards?: MH picks INDY, all else on NO - I think this is the easiest bet of all of them.
TD of 40+yards?: JG, GR, SS say NO...all else say YES
Finally O/U 23.5 1st Half: 8 for 8 on the OVER in this one.

STANDINGS
MK-92
JR-83
MC-82
SS-81
MH-78
JG-74
GR-69
AW-62
MR-48

I think it should be a really close game. Not convinced the Saints will win, but I like them getting the 5 points.

With the scheduling challenges in place for the proposed March Madness party, we may have to wait a month or two and turn it into an all day golf and cards on the porch party instead. Too difficult to make it work in March with the little man's B-day on opening weekend, sorry about that. But this way we can be outside (huge advantage to staying on the good side of my better half), and we can mix in some golf competition along with likely some Twins baseball or something like that on the tube. Maybe a Wild playoff run or Timber...no, maybe not that I guess. Sadly, I think I am actually planning on watching the Pups tonight as they go for their 3rd in a row at DAL...should be fascinating.

Hope everyone has a great time watching the Super Bowl on Sunday - I'll send out the full recap on Monday and get the $$$ mailed out next week as well for all of the winners.

I'm thinking a March Madness pool could be in the works for us in lieu of a get together in March...so keep your eyes on the inbox and we'll see what happens.
