Super Bowl XL Discussion Thread and TFP Bowl Championship Thread

It's less than a week before what will most likely be the most boring Super Bowl in recent memory. Let's get the discussion started.

Some predictions:
Shaun Alexander will choke.
Jerome Bettis' thyroid will come into play, finally.

*********************************************************

Also,

This is the final week of the TFP Bowl Playoffs. All can post their picks, but only those listed below can eventually be the winner of the TFP Bowl Trophy(tm). If you make a mistake, it is your mistake, not ours.

The tournament is a single elimination format. Therefore, no one should have an advantage heading into the playoffs. Anyone in the tournament can win. Here are the match ups for the final week:


For first place: 4. maximusveritas versus 11. BonesCPA
For third place: 1. AvoiceofReason versus 3. Giant Hamburger


The games will be picked on winner of each game. The tiebreakers have changed since the regular season, and also since weeks one and two, so please read them carefully. Note that if both players tie on the games, the tiebreakers are taken in order until a winner is decided. You must pick the correct team/score in order to win the tiebreaker - if your pick is closer to the tiebreaker than your opponent, but still not correct, the next tiebreaker is used.

First Tiebreaker: First score of the Super Bowl. Pick type of score - there are three choices: touchdown, field goal and safety. You must pick the one of the three and it is for the first points scored in the first game of the weekend. (Do not name a team - name the type of scoring play.)

Second Tiebreaker: Last score of the Super Bowl. Pick type of score - there are three choices: touchdown, field goal and safety. You must pick the one of the three and it is for the last points scored in the second game of the weekend. (Do not name a team - name the type of scoring play.)

Third Tiebreaker: Total points of the Super Bowl. All points of all teams playing is the last number. Closest without going over. If both go over, then the closest.

All can participate in this thread, but the four players listed above should not post their picks directly into this thread. The players still in the race for the TFP Bowl Trophy should PM their picks directly to me and once I have received all of the picks, I will post them in this thread myself. I trust everyone’s sportsmanship, but as they say, it is better to be safe than sorry. Once picks are posted by me in this thread, they may NOT be changed, so choose carefully. Everyone else participating should post directly in this thread.

Good luck to everyone.

Super Bowl XL 6:00pm EST - February 5, 2006
