    I have no idea what that means :D

    I decided to partake when I heard numbers would be randomly assigned.
    I would be very grateful if anyone could spare a few minutes and explain to me what I should be hoping for :o

    You want the final score for each team to end with the numbers that you have. For example, you have Pats 4 and Giants 7. You want to see final scores like:

    Patriots 24
    Giants 7

    Patriots 14
    Giants 17

    or any other combination of Pats 4 and Giants 7

    It's pretty simple. You have four boxes on the board. Each box represents a Patriots number (along the top) and a Giants number (along the side).

    When the Super Bowl is over, the final score will determine the winner of the board. Simply look at the final number in the amount of points the Patriots score, and the final number in the amount the Giants score, and match them up in the grid.

    For example, you have a box in the first row that is under the Patriots' 4 and across from the Giants' 7. That means that if the final score ends up with the Patriots scoring in a number ending with 4 (4, 14, 24, etc.) and the Giants scoring in a number ending with 7 (7, 17, 27, etc.) then you win.

    A good for score for you, then, would be something like Patriots 24, Giants 17.

    I hope that is clear. Let me know if you need further explanation.

    Hey, did you all notice how the blanks fell on pretty tough numbers overall? The 1-1 box I'm kind of worried about (31-21, etc., seems a pretty common score), but otherwise I would be surprised to see a 9-9 or 5-5. Not bad, if I must say so myself!

    Absolutely, that's why I guaranteed a winner. Even if the games ends 31-21, I really doubt any of the previous quarters would be any of the other blanks.

    That is, unless the score at the end of the 1st quarter is 31-21 and then no more scoring but the odds of that happening are very slim.

    I guess worse case scenario is a score of 9-9 at the end of the 1st quarter and then a final of something like 19-9 or 29-9.

    Then again, anything could happen.

    9-9 at the end of the 1st quarter would require a minor miracle. Barring a missed PAT, that would mean 3 field goals per team -- essentially, 6 scoring possessions! It's very unlikely that both teams could make 6 scoring drives in one quarter.

    And I agree that SOMEBODY will definitely win. I would prefer that we not have to revert to the third quarter score (hence my concern about 1-1), but I'd bet my life that we wouldn't have "blank" win all 4 quarters!

    That would be a minor miracle. My logic was a little fuzzy last night after a few rum and cokes.

    can everyone please send all of their loot to meme, so she can send me everything neatly packaged in that gym bag when I win?!?

    Thanks a lot!

    ;)

    Seriously, good luck everyone!!! No matter who wins, this is a great pool - and a big THANK YOU to walkunafraid for running this!!!!

    Good luck all
    For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

    This is the IRS. I certainly hope that you will all be reporting your gambling winnings as earned income or I will have to audit you all. Enjoy your game.

    Well after I win I'll package anything I can into the ten club bag, (I already have one), and try to make a deal on a '98 Detroit poster! :)

    Good luck everyone and big thanks to walkunafraid.

    I think this could become a yearly event........
