Super Bowl XL Picks Recap

Thanks to everyone for playing along. Here are the results:
The tiebreaker was total points scored with 31 the correct answer.

Niraj: 15* (tiebreaker off by 19)
Brittany: 15 (tiebreaker off by 20)
Kirat: 14 (tiebreaker off by 7)
Matt: 14 (tiebreaker off by 13)
Dave: 14 (tiebreaker off by 22)
Mark: 13 (tiebreaker off by 10)
Missy: 13 (tiebreaker off by 49)
Bobby: 12
Savan: 10
Katie: 5*
Adam: 3

*Niraj won 1st prize in attendance: $5 gift card to Jamba Juice
*Katie won low score in attendance: can of black beans

Those were the results, here are some high and low points:

High Points:
Katie predicted number of Bud/Bud Light commercials = 7
Kirat predicted number of talking animals commercials = 1
Many people predicted 3 Steelers touchdowns

Low Points:
Brittany predicted 5 Steeler field goals (actual = 0)
Niraj predicted 7 replay challenges (actual = 2)

Missy did really, really well. She almost won. But she did have some funny picks:

How many touchdowns will the Steelers score? 6
How many field goals will the Steelers score? 5
How many touchdowns will the Seahawks score? 5
How many field goals will the Seahawks score? 5
How many turnovers will the Steelers commit? 3
How many turnovers will the Seahawks commit? 3
Who will be the MVP? Kordell Stewart

Never mind that those picks would add up to Steelers 57, Seahawks 50. Stewart last played for the Steelers in 2002: he is no longer playing for a team, and he last throw a pass for the Bears in 2003.

In spite of these questionable picks, she almost won. Congrats to everyone and thanks for playing!
