No one, except for Fbaezer so far, is watching Pittsburgh. If they can get by Indy, they are on their way to a Super bowl win. But first is Indy. Can they do it? That is the only game that is keeping me from posting my picks. My heart says: Steelers! But...

I had my 55 gallon drum of white-out refilled yesterday, JPinmilw, so I am ready, willing and able to make changes. It appears that you only made one flip, switching from Chicago to Carolina. Iam still wavering on that one, too.

I start nagging this evening, looking for Dragon, El-diablo and Ray. Panzade always come through right before the deadline when he gets off the phone to his buddies is Vegas.

You are the man JB. If I haven't said so already, thanks for taking on this task and all the time you put into it... I have looked forward to this thread each and every Tuesday.

Ha. El-diablo dodges the bullet. I sent out a nag note dragging Dragon back in, and was working on one to El-diablo and to Ray. But El-diablo came through. Thanks.

sublime, Although I like the Bears and I believe Lovie Smith is one hell of a coach, your pick would only have been made by someone who is peering through Chicago Bear sunglasses.

The Bears will lose to Carolina. Denver will win. As well as Indy. And, of course, Seattle.

I have no idea what your talking about.

We got this far with a QB that was great at handoffs, now we have someone that can actually throw the ball.

If money was riding on it I wouldn't make the bet but to make the prediction and it happens would be twice as sweet.

We have, all of us here on A2K, said the exact same thing about Gus, sublime1.

Thanks for your picks. I was able to decipher part of Gus's message. But he did not pick all the way through. Johnboy sighs deeply, slipping back into writing in the third person. That is not good.

ok, Johnny, to continue on, Carolina will defeat Seattle and the Colts will beat the Broncos, leading to a surprising victory by the Panthers in the Super Bowl.

Panthers win that game by a score of 24-21

Okay, I am going with:

Seattle
Denver
Pittsburgh
Chicago

Then, I pick:

PITTSBURGH over Denver

and

SEATTLE over Chicago

And in the superbowl I pick the following:

Pittsburgh wins over Seattle in OT 27 to 21 on a 36-yard TD run by Jerome Bettis.

So there!!!

Bettis is no longer capable of a 36-yard run. Are you sure you didn't mean 3.6?

I'll go with Washington over Seattle
New England getting past Denver
Pittsburgh will beat Indianapolis
and Carolina whips Chicago

Washington disposes of Carolina
and Pittsburgh knocks off New England

Finally, in a Super Bowl game that ends up having the lowest tv ratings in 5 years, Pittsburgh destroys Washington 38-20 (58 points in total)
