NFL Playoff Pick 'Em - SUPER BOWL

It's all come down to this.  The number 1 offense versus the number 1 defense.  Two number 1 seeds facing each other in the Super Bowl for the first time since Super Bowl XLIV.  The Seahawks hoping to win their first ever Super Bowl championship, and Peyton Manning trying to match his brother with a 2nd Super Bowl championship and 2nd Super Bowl MVP.  After the season Manning had, a Super Bowl is the only proper way to finish it.  If the Seahawks win I won't be too upset.

PAST SUPER BOWL PREDICTIONS

2001:  RAVENS vs. Giants - This is the first Super Bowl that I actually remember watching.  I don't remember why I picked the Ravens, but I think I was more excited about the Super Bowl being on my birthday that year.  And thankfully they won.

2002:  RAMS vs. Patriots - Once again, I don't remember why I picked the Rams.  Even before the Manning/Brady rivalry was in full swing I never liked the Patriots...

2003:  Raiders vs. BUCCANEERS - I remember being the only one in my house to have picked the Buccaneers.  Everyone else picked the Raiders because of the Fort Wayne-connection.

2004:  PANTHERS vs. Patriots - Still didn't like the Patriots...

2005:  Patriots vs. EAGLES - (see above)

2006:  SEAHAWKS vs. Steelers - If I remember right the Steelers had beaten the Colts in the playoffs and so naturally being bitter about it I of course picked against them in the Super Bowl.  8 years later I still think that the Seahawks should've won this...

2007:  COLTS vs. Bears - The first seven seconds of this game thankfully wasn't indicative of the remaining 59:53.  I won $5 off of this game from the person I had a locker next to in high school. 

2008:  GIANTS vs. Patriots - I certainly didn't want to see the Patriots have a perfect season, coincidentally occuring just after getting caught for Spygate.  Sure people bicker and argue about who is better between Manning or Brady....but Brady still lost this game, arguably the biggest game of his career.  Had he won this, well, the scales might have been tipped in favor of Brady, much to my chagrin.

2009:  Steelers vs. CARDINALS - 5 years later and I still think that the Cardinals should have won this...

2010:  Saints vs. COLTS - Everyone knew that it was going to be a Saints/Colts Super Bowl for most of that season.  And for a good portion of this game it certainly looked like another Colts win.  But then came that onside kick...and that BS two-point conversion....

2011:  Steelers vs. PACKERS - Of course I wasn't gonna pick the Steelers!  In my opinion they stole their two previous Super Bowl wins.  And thankfully the Pack won and brought Lombardi home. 

2012:  GIANTS vs. Patriots - This rematch pretty much had the same ending as their previous Super Bowl game.  It all came down to miracle catches on long drives for the Giants, easy Giants touchdowns, and last ditch Hail Mary efforts by the Patriots to win it all.  But, alas, they are now 0-2 in Super Bowls since Spygate and since Brady married that supermodel.

2013:  Ravens vs.  49ERS - The Ravens had beaten the Colts in the playoffs so being bitter I wanted revenge.  I was on opposite sides with the person I had watched the game with, since this person not only picked the Ravens but was also coincidentally wearing a Ravens t-shirt (referring to Anderson University, not Baltimore).  A year later I still think the 49ers should've won this game.... 


OVERALL SUPER BOWL RECORD:  6-7, 46.15%
Well shoot...my own record is against me...oh well...GO BRONCOS!
