3 Days To The Superbowl

Well, it looks like I will be spending Superbowl Sunday at work! So, have a drink for me, I will be having a neutron shooter! Here is some interesting info on Superbowl Pool odds I am borrowing from another site:

Data from 40 years of Super Bowls tells much of the same story as the 06-07 NFL season (figure 2). The top five combos from 160 Super Bowl quarters are the same as the 06-07 (7-4 is tied for fifth), and again, almost 2/3 of the scores end in 0, 3 or 7. On the flip side, 19 combinations of numbers have failed to appear in the Super Bowl, including the three that didn’t hit in all of 06-07. The number you certainly want to stay away from is 5 as it has partnered only with 0, 1, and 9 for winning combinations (not even 5-3 or 5-7 have happened in the Super Bowl!).
Good luck!

Evileye and Honda522 Split

Well, the season ends with a tie, Evileye and Honda522 split the playoff pot.
I hope everybody enjoyed the season of online picking. Next year, I will probably have the pool go all the way to the Superbowl!
Go Giants!

Kawboy Kicks Ass

Wow, Kawboy's record of 181-75 beats many of the pro pickers! TrustNo1 lead the season the first four weeks, but Kawboy went the next thirteen weeks the unchallenged season leader!
WRIBBITT55 record of 148-108 earns him the Bone of the Year! The surprise Bone gift was the book "Football for Dummies". Maybe WRIBBITT55 will do some reading in the off-season!
Thanks to the Dolphinesafe software people, the online picking capability m
ade my job much easier. I have had a lot of positive feedback on the software, hopefully next year it will be improved even more!
Good luck to all in the Playoff Pool! Kawboy decided to take his money and gallop away into the sunset, so as to give TrustNo1 a chance to work his gladiator playoff magic! I hope everybody enjoyed playing this year, if you have any suggestions for next year let me know!
