The A2K "Road to the Super Bowl" Game -- 2016 Edition

I think coach Lewis is done. He covers for his players and they cover for him.
A shocking meltdown...again.

I don't know how to fix the team. They have plenty of talent, but not much to show for it.

Super Bowl 50 is going to be played in Santa Clara, Levi Stadium, next door to us. The traffic, bars, and hotels are going to be very busy. Hotels will be charging premium for their rooms and suites - if you can find one. People are even finding accommodation in San Francisco difficult, if not impossible, and that's 40 miles away.

Seattle wins on a missed chip-shot field goal by the Vikes. Yikes.

George, I'm not sure I should be let play as I was late, and for not good reason at the time. Consider my picks usable or not, but I'm here for the fun anyway. And not apt to be the winner either.. now I'm trying to get one game right.
I'm here for the camaraderie.

Oh, and figuring out if I still like football, which seems to be getting more gross in a variety of ways.
I'm mixed, since I've long thought sports have a role in communities getting along with each other, slightly avoiding war. while disliking the other team. I'll use the Siena Palio as my platform - two short horse races run per year, over centuries now, with horses and jockeys racing for different parts of the city.

2+3+6 with a missed pat = 11.

Yep, it goes to 11.

Is there some kind of tie breaker question?

Please include the Super Bowl score as a tie-breaker.

I overlooked the tiebreaker. 33-28
