BOLD PREDICTIONS: SB49 (from 2 months ago)

835 425 JohnnyP

At long last, the Super Bowl Prediction thread. I wish I could say I was sorry it took so long, but I’m really not. Convention says I should write at least a short paragraph here as a lead in, but it’s been too long and no one really cares anyway. So we’ll just rehash the predictions for the game. Look at that, a short paragraph developed all on its own.

My predictions for the game:

SEA has more turnovers than NE – I was wrong on this one, but NE had the only turnover that mattered.

Both Revis and Sherman get an interception – Neither guy did shit. Their combined stat line was 4 tackles. This is actually good for top CBs I guess.

NE fumbles at least 3 times – Despite Deflategate, NE continued to be a non-fumbling team. There were no forced fumbles in the game.

NE has more yards rushing than SEA – Unlike Charlie, I picked the lower ranked rushing team to have more rushing yards. I was wrong.

What you got right:

Jive – Wilson throws an INT with 5min or less left in the 4th Qtr.

  • Jive gets top billing because of how the game ended. Still laughing.

Plumlogan –No 1st Qtr TD for either team

  • Nailed it.

Charlie – Both Kickers will not miss a kick (FG) in the game.

  • NE didn’t even attempt a FG, but this still makes it in.

Charlie – Lynch / Wilson / Turbin have more rushing yards than Patriots team

  • Was this really BOLD? You basically picked the best rushing team to do better than the 17th ranked rushing team. Are you really proud of this?

Half truths:

Cd4packers – Patriots will win the SB and beat the Seahawks by 17pts.

  • Well at least they won the Super Bowl.

Too Short – This place will be a ghost town after the Hawks win.

  • This gets a spot here because I do think traffic was a little low, but it wasn’t because SEA won.

Cd4packers – Tom Brady will have more than 4 TDs.

  • He had 4 TDs. This is why you should always say “4 or more.”

What you got wrong:

Sir Squatch – Erin Andrews pegs Richard Sherman on the field after the game.

  • I’m not saying she didn’t peg him, but if it happened it wasn’t on the field.

Cd4packers  – RW will be sacked more than 5 times.

  • The number was actually 3.

Cd4packers  – Tom Brady will not be sacked and will throw zero INTS.

  • Well neither of these things happened.

Cd4packers  – RW will throw 3 or more INTs.

  • Sadly no, but he threw the only INT that mattered.

SFC – Tom Brady – playing with regulation footballs for the first time in years – will have no less than two fumbles

  • I too fell for this line of thinking, but I was more thinking it would be Blunt.

SFC – Turbin will have more rushing yards than Blount

  • Blunt sucked, but not enough for this.

Lowsaw – LYNCH, LYNCH, and more LYNCH, right up the loose ass of the Patriots defense. Hawks 27 Pats 13

  • If only Pete Carroll had listened to this sage advice.

Oliver James – Pats win by at least two TDs

  • Well they won at least.

BMT – Revis catches a TD on Sherman

  • Lol

Navarrossss – Vareen has over 200 yards from scrimmage and 2 TDs, but SEA wins 24 -17

  • Vareen had 77 total yards and no TDs.

Ancientage – Brady has 400+ yards against the LOB

  • He played well, but not this well. 328 yards and 4 TDs.

Munkey – RW passes for 250 and rushes for 100

  • LMAO, no.

Keal – Pats 34, SEA 17

  • I guess the score was supposed to be bold?

Navarrossss – BB retires after the game, win or lose

  • Neither Bill Belichick nor Brandon Browner has retired to my knowledge.

Plumlogan – Wilson throws more TDs than Brady

  • Oh man, was this wrong or what?

5Bowls – Pats 27, Hawks 26

  • This was closer than Keal at least.

SacSig – PC gets a call overturned

  • I’ll be honest, I have no idea if this happened.

Charlie – Patriots RB Blount has more than 2 Turnovers

  • We all expected it, but it didn’t happen.

Charlie – QB Brady only has 1 TD pass

  • You meant 1 x 4 right?

Charlie – TE Luke Willson will win the SB MVP (100-1 shot)

  • This was never going to happen. I did think he might catch a pass, but he didn’t.

Charlie – RB Turbin will have more yards rushing than Lynch in the game.

  • Nope, Lynch still reigns supreme in SEA.

Charlie – QB Wilson will pass for over 70.0% completion percentage.

  • It was actually 57 %, but what’s 13+ percentage points between friends.

Noshoes – Katy Perry shows some nipple during the halftime show

  • Of all the things that should have happened but didn’t, this is at the top of my list.

BKOB – I, BKOB, do hereby boldly predict that a Seattle Defender will score a TD in the Superbowl

  • This was semi-ballsy because it really doesn’t happen much. Sadly, it didn’t happen this time either.

SaintsChicka – BRADY Breaks SB Pass Yardage Record

  • Kurt Warner still holds the top three spots for pass yards in a Super Bowl, so nope.

Matt Mosley – NE 26, SEA 19

Maybe I’ll start a different section for score predictions next season.
