Super Bowl XLIII Picks Recap

And this year's Nostradamus is...
Burnsy, the hostess with the mostess!

Here are the totals, with total points tiebreaker difference where needed.

Niraj 15

Dave 13 (off by 6)
Katie 13 (off by 13)

Brittany 12 (off by 3)
Mac 12 (off by 16)

Anna 10 (off by 6)
Steve 10 (off by 15)
Spencer 10 (off by 16)
Savan 10 (off by 24)

Eric 8 (off by 5)
Matt 8 (didn't submit)

Susan 7 (off by 2)
Mark 7 (off by 5)
Megan 7 (off by 8)

No one had Holmes for MVP and most people correctly picked the Cards to cover the spread. I had inside information on the MC Hammer/Cash4Gold ad, but Katie got both of those points as well. And neither team ever went for it on 4th down.

Burnsy was so busy hosting that he didn't even get to answer the coin toss question. And he didn't get some of the questions that most people got: Steelers first to score, no on "Dancing in the Dark" and he didn't get either commercial question correct. I'm glad that he won; he deserved it for hosting such a great party. Also, he's won 2 out of the 4 picks sheets that we've done.

Previous Winners:
XLII Winner: Kirat
XLI Winner: Brittany
XL Winner: Niraj

  1. Good times! Nice job Niraj. And now I will make a formal objection in writing--those cash4gold and MC Hammer questions were hogwash!

  3. Ha, I was wondering what was going on with the comments since Dave knew about those questions! It was definitely surprising to win, and thanks Dave, for putting the quiz together!
