Bring your two (or less) bets here.
For potential tiebreaking purposes, pick the final score of just the LOSING team.
If there is a tie for overall post-season champ, whoever picks closest to the score of the losing Super Bowl team is the winner.
My picks will come later.

One reason might be if you also picked his team.

Because even Jesus got crucified. But I don't think he had Fitzgerald as one of his disciples.
I'll take Arizona and the points. They've been over-looked and under-appreciated thus far... playing the underdog role has suited them well.
Should be a good game.
Pit 27
Arz 21
Which also means I'm taking the over.

Yeah but he just bounced back up, right? Must have rubbed some dirt on it.
What is this world coming too.. The Arizona Cardinals are in the SB and Mvs is defending JC.

Without Jesus, this loss would not be possible.

I'm waiting for YAFJO's expert "analysis," before betting the car, house and nest egg on this year's SB.

Is it safe to say we are all playing the “opening line” or can we surf to find the best odds to fit our picks?

If you can verify the line, you can play it. That's how we've played all year.

Nice calls, but prop bets don't count the same as damn near calling the final score.
I won't share my
