RotB Playoff Pick'em: Pro Bowl Edition; Pro Bowl?!

by Hawkwind on Jan 26, 2010 6:53 AM MST

Hell has truly froze over: Cardinals made the Super Bowl last year and the Saints are in the "big game" this year! What's next, a Browns/Lions Super Bowl next year? Congratulations to the Colts and Saints on their Conference Championships. DaCards and blank_38 each earned 44 Pick'em Points with their 24-17 Colts predictions while Cardinalfever's 35-28 Saints prediction was best for the late game earning 46 points. This leaves DaCards with a commanding 37 point lead going into Super Bowl XLIV but that lead is not insurmountable considering negative scores are easy enough to earn (though none last week!). Check back next week to submit your Saints/Colts predictions.

Now, what to do about this silly game called the "Pro Bowl" that is coming up this weekend. I briefly considered adding it to the Playoff Pick'em schedule but tossed that thought out quickly. Instead, we'll have a one-off week of RotB Playoff Pick'em: Pro Bowl Edition. Pick a winner and final score as normal and our closest predictor(s) will score...something. Might just be some Cardinals ink pens, maybe a Pro Bowl hat. ::shrugs:: Maybe a pat on the back from JoeCB as he's so good at that already! Depends on my $budget$. This is open to all RotB Members, not just those that have participated in the Playoff Pick'em thus far. Here's your chance, Drullin'.

NFC 31-25

With so many “second tier” players in this game, does it really affect the final score? Will anyone watch the game?

Don't waste time or Time will waste you.

45-35

I randomly typed the score which seems a bit high but who cares. I’ll take the NFC

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

I’m just glad to be out of the negative.

Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.

How can I bend the rules on this one?

AFC 31 – NFC 24

Hawk, is this just a trick to get us to actually watch a pro-bowl game? Well it won’t work. I checked the TV schedule and the pro bowl game is up against the Grammy’s red carpet show and then the Grammy awards and a Suns game.
