When was the deadline?

I made the switch about 5 or 6 hours before kickoff.

Yes late, as compared to the rest of the tippers, but in time, which is why I said I would fix it, and have now. I was short on time earlier.

Welcome back rxbigdawg and welcome to mayneeyak, who almost had the Patriots/Broncos score exact, not bad.

Only KrivoyRog and themonarch have thier NFC Champion left, who both have San Francisco, with many of us losing ours with Green Bay, some others with New Orleasns. So far only N-Bomb has lost his AFC Champion.

Saturday had most of us picking New Orleans to win on the road, like last year, and the Saints losing that game, like last year. This year's game had one of the most amazing 4th quarters I have seen in a long time, will go down in history and was a great win for the 49ers. The Patriots made Tebow and the Bronco's look bad, as they walked all over them 45-10. The Texas fought hard but the Ravens defense was too much and Baltimore won the trip to New England. The Giants give us the first upset of this playoff season, as they went into Green Bay and won convincingly 37-20.

The Giants may be the Packers of last year as they barely scraped into the playoffs, having to win their last two weeks just to make it in, but are now making all the plays they need and firing on all cylinders.

KrivoyRog stayed perfect and opens a good sized lead.

Gillyharold and Mustang never had to switch their Super Bowl winner picks and have a chance at 4 bonus points if the Patriots pull it off. Ten tippers scored a bonus point for the New England win in the AFC Conference Championship game. No one scored a bonus point for the Giants winning of the NFC Conference Championship game and the most bonus points which can be garnered for a Giants Super Bowl win is two.


Game one saw a hard fought game, which ended unceremoniously with a missed chip shot field goal. The game was deserving of OT, but not to be outshined by the magical year Tim Tebow had, Golden Boy Tom Brady and his Patriots first got their TD on fourth and 1, then a missed FG by the opponents, which left all watching dumb founded. After the first muffed punt return the writing was on the wall and the outcome seemed inevitable. The second botched punt return, which was a fumble this time and in overtime, sealed the deal, as the Giants defeated the San Francisco 49ers 20-17. Only thing worse than living a nightmare, is having to live it a second time.


KrivoyRog's perfection ended with the Giants win, but his run of 7 straight was impressive.

It was a tough fought game, but the New York Giants prevailed with a late drive for the 2nd time in 4 years against the New England Patriots to take their 4th Super Bowl, the 2nd for both Quarterback Eli Manning and Head Coach Tom Coughlin. Only team to score in the first Quarter was the Giants and only the Patriots scored in the 2nd quarter, with an early safety for intentional grounding in the end zone threw the Giants numbers off the usual 7 & 3 circuit.

Sypher made a comeback and took first place in the competition, KrivoyRog held on for 2nd and George95 and N-Bomb tied for third. In my delirium over a worst possible outcome for a Jets fan in the two games the other week, I neglected to post the tie-breaker picks. Therefore both N-Bomb and George will share 3rd.


Sypher takes this competition for an unprecedented third time, no one else has won more than once.

As they say, "See You in September" for dg_dave's regular season NFL pool.

Well played, Sypher, and yes, I will be back to posting results when the NFL season reconvenes this fall.

Congratulations to the Giants for again beating Tom Brady and Co.
