Super Bowl XLIX Prop Competition

[Deleted]

Every year we have our Super Bowl prediction competition. The person who gets the most correct answers to the 15 questions I've posed will earn $2 in extra cap for their team. We also have an extra tie breaker question. In the event of a tie and matching answers on the tiebreaker, the winner will be the team that has the longest streak of correct answers, beginning on question 1. If a tie remains after that, we'll just auto-generate a winner. I don't think it will come to that. Because the questions and answers are long, I'm posting a link to the Google Doc housing the question and answer sheets. All answers must be posted as a response in this thread to be considered official. Your answers must be submitted by 12 AM ET Jan 31, or midnight on the night before the Super Bowl.

TIEBREAKER: B

[Deleted]

Shelby stole my successful winning strategy from last year. I'll go with answer A for all questions including the tiebreaker.

[Deleted]

Since you don't follow football I'll put it in terms you understand.

Last year the Mariners slaughtered the Rockies 11-1 (a touchdown doesn't fairly equate to one run in my opinion), even though they were mostly known for having an amazing pitching staff and having the ability to put up one or two runs when necessary. The Rockies were known for having a decent pitching staff but mostly they put up runs at will. So the blowout was unexpected, and answer B was Mariner heavy.

This year the Mariners play the Red Sox. A lot of people think the Red Sox will win and they are answer A heavy. Then again, a lot of other people think they ate dirty liars and cheaters who don't deserve to be there. I lean towards the Red Sox for what it's worth.

Also in this instance Mike Zunino is the Mariners second best player and he's in a pretty bad slump. The Red Sox's catcher is their best player and he's dominating.
