Superbowl Contest
 

We are having the first ever LawTalkers Superbowl Contest. It is, of course, not a bet, it is a contest.

The prize is a $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com or other online store of your choice.

So. Here's the deal. You pick one number for each team, say for example

Panthers 7 Patriots 14

The Rules

You may not pick the same exact score that someone else picks, though you can use one of the same numbers. e.g. the next person could pick Panthers 10 Patriots 14.

Scores are on a first come first serve basis as determined by the posting order. So if you happen to post a score at the same time as someone else, but em's post shows up first, you need to try again. Edit the post, note duplicate score, and then, and this is important, create a new post with your new guess.

All picks must be made by Sunday at noon. There is no editing of choices. Remember there is a time stamp when you edit something. Any edited post will be disqualified.

There is one guess per user. No socks, unless you want to use a sock as your only guess.

Good luck

Oh one last thing. Only post guesses on this board. Nothing else.

One other thing (sorry) the numbers above are not guesses. I won't be guessing.

I dont know shit about football but I saw a heartwarming story on the Panthers cancer situation on sportscenter while tyring to get a press conference on Agassi and his loss to my dark horse pick to win the Oz Open (which he apparently is-so I must by psyhic and this has inspired me to make a bet or whatever this is)

Panthers 17
New England 3

17 is my lucky number and the heartwarming panter thing makes them win and 3 is a football number right? do I need two digits>?

17-10 New England

Carolina 13
New England 6

Since I probably won't be able to watch the game I am hoping it sux for the rest of you.

If I win, I am donating my prize to Flinty for poker strategy book.

The answer is:
 

New England 20, Carolina 10.

Other thoughts:
Carolina will try to copy the strategy Parcells used to beat the Bills. I.e. shorten the game. Limit the number of possessions per half to about 4 per side. That's fine with Bellichek too, so I doubt either team will have more than 9 possessions.

Carolina will do better defending the red zone than they do the middle of the field, and AV will kick a bunch of figgies.

Carolina won't be able to move the ball very well, but might get a big play or two. Jake Delhomme will get picked off if he throws one up like the one Mushin Muhammad caught against the Eagles. (Still can't believe how badly Brian Dawkins played that one).

Patriots Will Be Eaten
 

No contest.

Panthers - 100
