This Superbowl round promises to be a thrilling end to the 2009 season. Likewise, the IDYFT Pick'em will crown a champion with all the dignity of a Halftime Show.Bonus Points were awarded this week. Back in the Wildcard Round, MMan and Adw called the Colts to win the AFC and then the Superbowl. That pick, if correct, would earn seven points.
Miwacar correctly identified "Elgin Baylor" with the clever use of initials. Basketball was central to my father's life, and Elgin was his favorite all-time player. When I was born, my mother prevailed. As my father wrote in his last book (soon-to-be-published), "we named him Andrew. Deep down in my heart, I knew this was not the name of a Hall of Famer."
Lefnut picked the Saints to win it all, way back in the beginning of the 2009 regular season. He'll pick up 12 points if he is correct.

I declare questions 7-9 Shanahanigans! You wrote the questions, unfair advantage, and I'm too lazy to look them up.
Shanahanagins I say!
You have more than a week to look them up, or you can just guess. I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'll take my best guess.
Hint: the underdog list consistently listed the three or four worst teams. I'd bet #1 is one of those teams, perhaps even a team close to your heart, perhaps.
