I’m hoping for a tie ...
multiple wardrobe malfunctions ...
and heavy fog inside the dome...

Happy Super Bowl Sunday.

Hopefully it will be a good game. The Niners have the edge in every offense/defense run/pass category except when the Niners pass on offense. Jim Harbaugh has already done an amazing job turning the Niners around from a mediocre team only two years ago. If the Niners win, Jim Harbaugh will have in two years taken a 6-10 mediocre team to becoming Super Bowl Champions. This will have EXCEEDED the speed of Bill Walsh and Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers who did the same thing in three years. However, the team Harbaugh took over wasn’t as bad as the teams the year previous to Walsh (Niners were 2-14 the previous year) or Vince Lombardi (Packers were 1-10-1 the previous year). OK, let’s not count our chickens before they’re hatched. Niners still have to win this one. They should.

BTW, it’s been a good year for my predictions – running at 70% this year (and 57% over the last seven years – not too shabby).

SF As against Atlanta, the Niners need to RUN (#4 in NFL) more than pass (#23 in the NFL). Running the ball effectively (they were 5 yards per carry average against Atlanta) should open up the passing game. If the Niners get happy feet and start passing too much, they could get into trouble. Ball control on offense will be a key to victory for SF. The Niners defense should stop the mediocre Ravens offense. SF defense is #2 in the NFL in points and #4 against both the run and the pass in YDG.

Ravens The Ravens, like Atlanta, is a hard team to figure. In the regular season, among NFL teams, they were 10th in offense and 12th in defense (based on points). Yet somehow they beat NE (I guess there were a lot of NE injuries). Somehow their somewhat average defense stopped the #1 offense in the NFL. The Ravens also took advantage of NE’s 3rd worst pass defense in the NFL.

Projected winner: SF

What many forget is that Jim Harbaugh (the current coach of San Francisco) was the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens when the Colts came back to Baltimore for the first time since sneaking out in the Mayflower moving vans

(WILL NEVER WILL USE THAT COMPANY!)

He led Baltimore to an emotional victory over the colts with Johnny Unitus and other former colts standing on the BALTIMORE sideline. When the game ended, Jim ran over and gave the game ball to Unitus who looked very surprised at the honor. It was an emotional time for many old Colt fans who saw the torch being officially passed to the Ravens in a very classy way thanks to Ravens quarterback Jim Harbough.

Quarterback Jim Harbaugh hands the game ball to John Unitas after the Ravens used a 17-0 rally to beat the Indianapolis Colts, 38-31, on Nov. 29, 1998.

A piece of free advice. Better schedule your super bowel movement ahead of kickoff time if you don’t want to miss part of the game!

Ok so which team represents the AFC, and which team the NFC? And,

AFC: 6
NFC: 9

are my numbers on the squares ticket. Are those numbers any good?

It sounded like the NFL gave the Walter Payton man of the year award to Jason Whitney.

Remember thought that there is all of 11 minutes of action in an average football game, according to a WSJ study. (14 in baseball games.)

Players keep fighting and soon a hockey game will break out.

SB ads are mostly dull except for Fast and Furious 6. Not a fan of either team so this game isn’t getting me too excited.

I really don’t have a dog in this game so I’m going with the team that pi$$es off the most liberals if they win.
