NFL Playoff Pickem: Super Bowl 0x39 Edition: Super Bowl 0x39 officially begins at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Sunday, though it seems like there's a lot of folderol before the actual kickoff. In the pickem contest Cixelsyd keeps first place followed by NoMich four back and Tron7 trailing by 11. Do well and you might win. Do poorly and you might beat me for the coveted Costanza.

Make picks

posted by rcade at 12:47 PM on February 11, 2023

My picks:

Eagles by 10
Passer: Patrick Mahomes
Rusher: Miles Sanders
Receiver: Travis Kelce
Player with interception: James Bradberry
Player with sack: Haason Reddick
Player with first turnover: Patrick Mahomes
Super Bowl MVP: Jalen Hurts
Tiebreaker: 58

Even if Mahomes was 100 percent I think this is an Eagles victory. Philadelphia is a juggernaut.

I'm locked out as well, jags, but I believe it's because rcade set the game date as 2/11 which was yesterday.

rcade, please LOCK my Chiefs by 7 pick.

posted by NoMich at 06:04 PM on February 12, 2023

I've opened the picks back up until midnight so that anybody who wants to add their picks to the database can do that. If not I'll add them before finalizing the contest.

Awwww, man, I forgot to make my picks, thereby denying myself a legit shot at the Costanza. For the record, I would have picked Chiefs by 13 and locked it.
