Pick the Super Bowl - CASH PRIZE PLEASE READ

Seattle 35   Chargers 21

   Commish here-

I have reviewed everyone's entry and we have only eleven teams picked to win the Super Bowl.

This creates the very real possibility that nobody picks the winner.

SO - I am adding an addendum to the tiebreaking process, as follows:

1.  If nobody correctly picks the winning team, players who correctly pick the losing team will advance to the tiebreaking format involving the game total and margin of victory.  This opens up the field a little bit, from eleven teams to seventeen.

2.   If nobody correctly picks the winning team AND nobody correctly picks the losing team, any player who picked a team that appears in the Super Bowl - win or lose - will advance to the tiebreaking format involving the game total and margin of victory.

For example - if you had a particular team to win, and they lose, and nobody else had them losing, you advance.  If you picked a team to lose, and they win, and nobody else had them winning, you advance.  This will only apply to those who picked SF, NE, DET, KC, BAL, CAR, ARZ, and NO in any result, as all other teams selected were picked as both winners and losers.

3.  In the unlikely event that nobody correctly picked any of the teams that appear in the Super Bowl - win or lose - it will be decided by winning conference (NFC or AFC).  Those who correctly pick the winning conference will advance to the tiebreaking format involving the game total and margin of victory.  There is an almost perfect split between all 43 players on the winning conference (NFC 22 / AFC 21). 

4.  There are only a few players who have identical game totals and margins of victory, although some do have different winning conferences.  In the event that we have a further tie after comparing all tiebreaking qualifiers, the $500 prize will go to the player with the best overall win percentage for the entire season.

I had been hoping more players would pay attention to the forum and that we would have a larger field of teams.  Unfortunately that was not the case, so this addendum should further clarify how the winner is chosen.

Thanks to all who made a prediction and good luck

Heading into the divisional round of the playoffs...

Only 15 players of the original 43 still have two live teams, and 4 players have lost both sides.

In all likelihood the prizewinner is going to be decided by points scored...but I have to say I'm rooting for wokman's seemingly absurd Carolina over New England prediction.
