RotB 2011 Playoff Pick'em: Pro-Bowl Edition

by Hawkwind on Jan 23, 2012 10:02 PM MST

It's a rematch of Super Bowl XLIII as the Patriots and Giants rely on the failure of their opponents' special teams to advance them to Super Bowl XLVI. Tawakol's 24-17 prediction for New England was the closest and earned him 46 Pick'em Points. Most of the RotB faithful had the New York football Giants winning and Tyler Nickel's 24-16 was the closest and earned 45 Pick'em Points. The top of the standings haven't changed much with the top spot a 37 point improvement over last year's score at this point. Jess' lead is not out of reach, especially with the quirky Pro Bowl next on the schedule. This game is truly a "wild card" game as the score can really be about anywhere for either conference. The NFC won last year, 55-41, with a rosters chock full of "Pro Bowl alternates". Not sure what to predict for a score? Perhaps some of last year's predictions may help. Good luck.

Plus I’m calling Wilson gets an INT, Larry get’s a TD, and PP shows his return skills on punts but doesn’t get a TD.

The pro bowl HAS to be the worst "game" to put on TV

I would rather watch bowling! But since I’m a football nut…
