IDYFT NFL Playoffs Pick 'Em: Superbowl

A black man in the White House and the Cardinals in the Superbowl. I can scarcely believe it myself.

As Mark Twain put it, "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't."

Miwacar and Black Freighter picked the NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals as the Least Deserving team in the playoffs. Miwacar and Black Freighter will likely not be winning an autographed copy of my novel To The Last Drop. But someone else will!

Standings
1. Barnyard: 51 (this week +23) [Steelers Champ]
2 Adw: 41 (this week +10)
3. MMMan: 35 (this week +20)
4. Black Freighter: 33 (this week +13)
5. Big BM: 31 (this week +4)
6. Jess: 24 (this week +4)
Miwacar: 24 (this week +10)
7. Lucy: 20 (this week +13) [Steelers Champ]

This Week's Picks
1. Arizona Cardinals versus Pittsburgh Steelers +/- 7
Bonus Points
2. Superbowl MVP? +7
3. Highest QB rating? +3
4. Player with most yards rushing? +3
5. Player with most yards receiving? +3
6. Player with most tackles? +3
7. Player with most turnovers forced? +3
8. Final Score? (closest +3; bull's eye +10)


Remember, you have two weeks for these final picks. Make them count.

Why you got to hate on me and Black Freighter? Just because we got caught on the wrong side of an NFC that doesn't have anyone who wants to win it all?

I'm pretty sure that if Barnyard had picked the Cardinals to win in this round, he'd be impossible to catch. Way to go, stupid Barnyard.

Ha!

None of you dumbasses remember that Wee Willie Parker holds the NFL record for longest run in Superbowl history.

For +10 ghost points, I reckon he rips off a 90 yarder tomorrow.
