Super Bowl Prediction Smack-Down

This is where we all post our predictions about the score of the game.

Please refrain from any strategic moves and vote what you actually believe in your heart of hearts will be the final score. I cynically predict utter dominance by the team I hate most in the NFL right now. I will be happy to be proven wrong. Sadly, as I indicated last night I won't be able to make the first half of the game, but Jackie and I will be dropping by some time in the middle of the Eagles half-time medley. The tiebreaker is to predict the total number of yards by both teams combined. Five dollars each in the pot.

New England Patriots 40 New York Giants 7.
725 yards total offense.

Patriots: 21
Giants: 24
I have no idea on earth how to predict yardage, so I can either make up a number if it's part of the pool or let it go.

Football's the one with the brown ball with laces, right?

Jackie said...

Patriots 38, Giants 26
Total yards: 744
This does not reflect what I want to happen.

I'm wimping out on my Giants pic. I think it will be close but Brady will pull it out in the end.

Patriots 28, Giants 20.

Total yards: 700.

Since I can't cook and am coming with the beer, what's the head count? I can bring anything else too that I can purchase in a deli: chips, pretzels, lottery tickets, condoms...Just let me know. I'm can see that I'm about to post as Instructor but I'm too lazy to change the account. Wait, does that mean like my work people have access to this or anything? Like 10 of us use the Instructor gmail account to post our schedules...

Happy day, Claude. (although I already called and left you a voice mail, I don't want to ignore the day on the blog!)

Brek - I've been posting food and numbers details on the other super bowl entry - sorry! Here's what it's looking like:
Peter, David, Miranda, Brekke, Claudia, Nathaniel, Sara, David, Ally (sp), Jackie and Kyle (late) and maybe Mustafa.

So around 11. I'm good with chips and dips and cookies. Miranda might make short ribs (!). Sara and Nathaniel should bring wine/beer and if someone can bring soda (incl. regular coke) that would be swell too.

Brekke said...

I am so frickin excited! Go Giants!

Sara said...

...and maybe Chris!

I mean, that he may be there. Not that I'm rooting for him. Although I am, I guess. Aren't we all, really?
