Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web IV - Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!

Well, err, um....I did not see that coming.  That was one hell of an ass whooping.  Congrats to Seattle and Seahawks fans in general.
This year we had 4 people guess the correct team! So we have to go to the tie breakers and the first tie breaker is the Super Bowl opponent. We had one guy pick the match up, besides myself, and the correct winner. Not only that his prediction for the game was almost uncanny. Almost like he might have a time machine or a sports almanac from the future.

Here what the  correct guess would have been:
Seattle Seahawks over Denver Broncos, 51 points, 4 Turnovers,

Here are the finalists picks, check out Wilson's guess. Spot on. Incredible.



Corky - Seattle Seahawks over New England Patriots, 40 total points and 2 turnovers. PIMP

Cards from the Quarry -Seattle over Indianapolis, 48 points, 4 turnovers

Play at the Plate - Denver over Seattle, 52 points, 3 turnovers. PIMP

John Hazen - Seattle over New England 36 points, 2 turnovers

AdamE - Denver over Seattle 63 Points 4 turnovers

Wilson - Seattle over Denver, 50 points,4 Turnovers PIMP


Chris - Denver over Carolina, 49 points, 5 turnovers

Robert - Denver over San Francisco. 44 points and 2 turnovers.

Greg Zakwin - Denver over Packers, 63 points, 2 turnovers  PIMP

gcrl - Denver over Carolina 53 points 4 turnovers

The Big Kahuna - Denver BRONCOS over Da Seattle Seahawks 57 points 5 turnovers

Nathan Bell - Denver over San Francisco. 54 Points, 2 TO's

Dion's IP Autos Only - Denver over 49ers 65 points 3 turnovers PIMP

Nachos Grande - Broncos over Seahawks - 57 points, 3 turnovers.

Andy - Denver over Green Bay - 75 points, 2 turnovers

Justin - Broncos over Panthers, 35 points, 2 turnovers

Spankee -Broncos over Packers. 52 points. 1 turnover.

I really didn't expect any of the cards in the prize pool to be significant to the game, but looks like one of the autos in the grand prize features a Super Bowl champion quarterback..

I'm not sure how many of you guys noticed this but Tarvaris Jackson played the last series for the Seahawks. Mainly handing off the ball, but he did make one attempt at a pass.

So congrats to Wilson. I'll be sending you an email soon. I don't have your address.

Next we need to give out the door prize.  I had a couple really cool cards just for signing up and an extra entry of promoting the contest on your blog.

I entered all the names into Random.org and randomized the list three times

And the winner is....

Congrats to CaptKirk42 who takes home the door prize.

I want to thank everyone who entered and made this my most successful contest to date.  It was a great playoffs this year, even if the Super Bowl ended up being a little one sided.  Now just 56 days till baseball.

Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web IV - Official Sign up Post

It's that time of year again.  Can't believe that the regular season's already over.  That just flew by.  But with the end of the regular season comes Collector's Crack Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web IV!!!  Man how great was it the the last game of the regular season meant something for a few divisions. And talk about some crazy games. I still can't believe my Packers made it in.

Like years past I just want you to tell me who's going to win the Super Bowl.  There are definitely a few teams that seem to be the front runners this year, but that means nothing now that it's win or go home time.
And since I'm sure a few of you guys will probably pick the same team to win we'll need a few tie breakers.  So in your entry also tell me who the opponent will be, total number of points, and total number of turnovers in the game (both teams fumbles and interceptions).

So your entry would look something  like this:

Seattle over Denver, 56 points, 4 turnovers

Here are your choices
NFC
Seattle Seahawks
Carolina Panthers
Philadelphia Eagles
Green Bay Packers
New Orleans Saints - Wildcard
San Fransisco 49ers - Wildcard

AFC
New England Patriots
Cincinnati Bengals
Indianapolis Colts
Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs - Wildcard
San Diego Chargers - Wildcard

I know you're saying, "CB that's great, but what can we win?"

This year it's nothing but autos!!!

The Champion will get these two great cards!

 I picked up this great 1996 Laserview Inscriptions card of Jim Everett a while back and I had thought about holding on to it, but it really is too cool. The card is one of those acetate cards and it's even hand numbered to 3100!

 Next up is a great card of a not so great player, but the card is pretty sweet.  And if you happen to be a Vikings fan or if you're a Seahawks fan I guess your hoping you don't need him. Poor Tavaris really didn't get much of a chance as a starter and is probably one of those guys that will spend most of his career on the bench, but this is still a sweet card and it can be yours if you win.

Plus I'll throw in some cards from your favorite team. No promises on the greatness of those cards as most of my collection has been mothballed, but I can always raid Don's dime and dollar boxes.

But wait there's more.  Just for taking part in my little contest you can win this great card I just pulled from a hobby pack of Topps Strata.

You're probably saying to yourself who the heck is Mike Gillislee? like I was saying that a few moments ago. Well he was a Gator and after looking up his stats didn't do too shabby there. Unfortunetly this year he only saw playing time on the last game of the season with 6 carries for whopping 21 yards. And those are his rookie stats.  But the Dolphins are on the verge of....well the verge, so this could be a great prospect card. I'm just not going to be the one who's holding on to it.  Plus I'll throw in some extra goodies like always.
And don't forget if you pimp this contest on your blog I'll give you another entry into the door prize drawing!

Just leave a comment with a link to the pimp, you can do it with your entry or separate, I don't care.

Alright boys and girls it's on!!!
The contest will officially close at Noon Alaska Time, 4pm Eastern,  on Saturday Janurary 4th. The Colts - Chiefs game starts about a half hour after that. I'll be putting up reminders all week and I'll have an post with everybodies picks sometime on Saturday.  Good Luck and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.  CB out

4th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web - 2 minute warning

Wow I can't believe the season is almost over. I can't believe my Packers still have a shot at not only making the playoffs, but if things go right they might even win their division. Man when did the NFC North and NFC West switch places.  It's been a crazy season, a season that seems to have had an unusually high number of injuries.

And I know we still have 2 weeks till playoffs start, but I thought I'd put a reminder out there that I'll be hosting my 4th, yes that's right my 4th Annual Almost the Easiest Super Bowl Contest on the Web.  And why fix what ain't broke. The contest will be the same as always. I just want you to tell me who's going to win the Super Bowl.  Of course there will be tie breakers too, which makes it slightly less easier.

I don't know what the prizes will be just yet, but like usual there will be a great Grand Prize and a Door Prize for all who made the effort and an extra entry for those that advertise the contest.

Stay tuned!!!
