The goal here is quite simple: pick which NFL team will win the title.
Players here are invited to make their predictions.
This game has appeared on A2k for a dozen or so years.

New players are certainly welcome to join us. The time commitment is minimal and knowledge of football is not at all necessary.

What's this? A thing involving sports and making choices? How odd. I suppose I will have to look into this unique thing.

Pittsburgh
Green Bay

@edgarblythe,

The goal here, of course, is to hit a home run by picking the eventual winner of the Superbowl and be awarded the coveted yellow jersey.
But there is a secondary game. Players are awarded points for successful picks along the road.
For example, in the four wildcard games players get one point for each correct guess PLUS an extra four points if they choose all of the games right.

@George,

I worry about picking Oakland, but I'm in a partisan mood for this time's picks.

A side note - I see an article about making Derek Carr MVP, an idea I nod to, given my bias.

I don't hear anymore about his brother, David Carr, who was also a smartie but didn't get as far, and taught his younger brother a lot, at least via one long article I read somewhere a few years ago.

Wiki on David, surely a quite personally centered guy:

This sort of explains me - I'm not a sports data person, but a sports story person, old reader of columns re athletes.

If he could play against Houston I would pick his team.
