Pvt. Ryan Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 I am in s stupid office pool where the scores have to end in 5 for me to win anything, so I predict 15 to 5. I don't care which team wins, as long as the scores end in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Let's see - I predict the commercials will be better than the game, but of course, Canadian TV will block out the good commericals anyway so I'll never know. Have you guys ever tried watching Canadian football? Bigger field, more men on the field, deeper endzone, lots more scoring. I have a hard time getting up for this overhyped yawnfest in which at best perhaps three touchdowns will be scored by both sides. But I guess the parties are what it is really all about anyway, so enjoy yourselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. Sosaboski Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 The Polish team will make a late appearance and win it in the 4th quarter... Seriously, Giants 20, Ravens 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaker Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Giants 10, Ravens 7. Tony Banks will resurface his glory days in St.Louis. Ravens' vaunted defense will crack over time. Kerry Collins will once again show why he's an alcoholic. Hence the low scoring predictions. Both defenses will do great since neither offense is explosive but I just can't shake the feeling that the Raven D will crack but not for long. ------------------ "Uncommon valor was a common virtue"-Adm.Chester Nimitz of the Marines on Iwo Jima [This message has been edited by Warmaker (edited 01-28-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skott Karlsson Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 I predict that I will see huge water demands during each and every commercial break. I can tell by the system pressures throughout the county when a commercial break occurs. The pressures drop like a rock. Especially during half-time. Yes, I live one county over from Tampa. ~Skott~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely - I FedExed a set of Patriot III missiles to the Indian Anti-Defamation League last week. Not only do they destroy the missiles but they also neutralize the warheads in midair. Well - so THEY think, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 It's not a "souper bowl" it's the SUPER BOWL! For all you limeys out there that think that "Soccer" is called Football, the SUPER BOWL is the Championship Game of the NFL (National Football League). The NFL has a 17 week, 16 game season (1 bye week for every team). Then two teams from each Conference (AFC, NFC) that have a record barely good enough to make the play-offs compete in a Wild Card play-off game. The other top ranked teams don't have to play that first week in the play-offs. Then the next week, the other two teams play the Wild Card winners. Then a week later the winners of those games play for the Conference Championship. Then two weeks later the Conference Champions play each other in the SUPER BOWL. In this instance the Baltimore Ravens have come all the way from the Wild Card game. It is very rare for a Wild Card team to make the SUPER BOWL. Did that answer your question, crepitis? BTW, the media seems to be picking the Ravens to win by like 23-13 or something like that, so I'll predict the Raven's with their defense will hold the Giants down. So we'll see.

109 Gustav Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 The Vikings and Raiders will storm the field, throwing the other teams off and play the Super Bowl like it should have been. if that doesn't happen, Ravens 17, Giants 14. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Congratulations - the only team sport more boring than American football. You mean these guys in shorts run around for an hour and a half and all the are capable of doing is scoring a single goal? I thought it was a rule that the final score always had to be two to one. Then again, I know how impressive you guys think the word "nil" is ... Honestly, you guys, don't you ever watch HOCKEY? The world's fastest team sport? My Flames got clobbered AGAIN by Vancouver last night - sniff, sniff - that's ok, fellas, I'll get over it...

Pvt.

I'm just annoyed that this year in the UK, it's being shown on a satellite channel I don't subcribe to and because of the time differnce it's too late to watch it in the pub. Oh and remember rugby players don't wear any of that wussy padding . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMHPaladin Posted January 29, 2001 Share Posted January 29, 2001 GO EAGLES!!! I sincerely hope that the Giants don't win. One), because they beat the Eagles, and Two) because if they win, all the Giants fans here (I go to RPI in New York) will be going crazy that a NY team won both the World Series and the Super Bowl.
