9th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - Conference Championship Break Down

Wow the Conference Championships did not disappoint.  Both games going to overtime!  And yes the Saints probably should have won. I was rooting for the Chiefs, mainly because when I don't have a horse in the race I usually root for the underdog.  But Brady is damn impressive and that was a fun game to watch.

So in honor of the two team that made it all the way I finally found some time to dig through the stacks and pull some cards for the prize pile.  Here is the stack the winner will receive, plus a stack of there favorite team.

A nice selection of Rams autos and relics, I've found a couple Gronk rookies to add to the pile and a sweet Vereen relic numbere to 499. Yes I know he's long gone.

For the door prize I found a sweet 2010 Drew Brees eTopps card #/799. Figured that was fitting seeing as the Saints pretty much got hosed by officiating. The door prize winner will also receive a stack of cards of their team.

Let's see who made it though to the big game.  We have two picks the correctly pick the match up, both of them predicted that the Rams would top the Patriots, nobody that picked the Patriots matched them up with the Rams, so if the Rams win it'll be between Angels in the Order and bbcardz, the the Patriots win we've got a big toss up.  Picks in Red are officially out, picks in Black are still officially in, but will be beat in the first tie-breaker, and those in green are the picks that still have a shot to win.  This might actually be the biggest pool of potential winners I've ever had heading into the Super Bowl. Should be fun.  Congrats to all that made it this far, and a big thank you for playing.  See you all after the Super Bowl with the official winners announcement.

If you promoted the contest via your blog or social media you'll see a PIMP by your entry.  Right now I have only one PIMP out there, but if you promoted the contest and I missed you please leave a comment and a link to the promotion please and I'll make sure you get an extra entry into the door prize drawing.

Also someone submitted a pick as UNKNOWN,  you'll see the pick highlighted in bold red below, if that was you please let me know who I should attribute that pick to, but as I right this it doesn't look good for the Chargers anyways.

9th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - Official Sign Up Post

Well we've made it through the end of the season and already finished the Wild Card Round.  I apologize for not getting this up sooner.  I just got back from 2 weeks in Hawaii and there were still some wildcard spots open when I left.  That being said it'll be a little bit easier to pick the winning team this year since we just eliminated 4 of the playoff teams, but I think it'll still be fun and I didn't want to miss putting the contest out there.  As usual all I want you to do is tell me who's going to win the big game.  And of course I'm sure more than one of you will pick the right team so we'll do the usual tie breakers as well. 

I literally just got back early this morning so I'll dig out a prize for the winner and the door prize winner a little later.  Remember if you promote the contest you'll get an extra entry into the door prize drawing.

The winner and door prize winner will also get a nice selection of cards from their favorite team, maybe even an auto and/or relic included.

So how do you enter?  Simple tell me who's going to be this year's Super Bowl winner.  For tie breakers tell me who the opponent will be, total points scored in the game, and number of total field goals scored during the game.

In the end you entry should look something like this.

Chiefs over Saints, 54 Points, 3 FGs. 

In the event that the tie breakers do not decided the winner the winner will be randomly chosen.

Your choices:

AFC
Colts
Chiefs
Patriots
Chargers

NFC
Cowboys
Rams
Eagles
Saints

You have until Saturday, Janurary 12th, at 8:00am Alaska Time, Noon EST to enter.  Remember to leave a comment and a link to your contest plug for your extra entry into the contest.
