Spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tJ8yxBc-rZx4iFKsYrFNqUuLBy4j1b4hlsYY3j6SUio/edit#gid=2

I am pleased to announce a Blonde Super Bowl L Competition.

The rules are as follows:

1. Entry is open to everyone upon payment of a £10 entry fee to me. People may enter up to 3 times. I will PM my bank details to everyone who has expressed even a remote interest. Payment must be received by me before 10pm on Sunday 7th February. If you are interested, please indicate below or PM me.

If anyone doesn't wish to risk £10 and just wants to play along for fun (and the title of Blonde Super Bowl champion) that will be great - the more the merrier.

2. The competition will be run during this year's Super Bowl starting at 11:30pm (or thereabouts) on Sunday 7th February.

3. Each entrant will pick a 50/50 answer for each of the questions listed below.

The questions have been chosen so as to be a "coin flip" based on the best information available from the collected might of the British bookmaking industry so everyone has a fair chance to win.
An enormous amount of data can be found on http://www.nfl.com if you really want to take it seriously.

4. There will be 5 points for each correct answer and zero points for each incorrect answer. In addition you must select one question as your "joker". This will score you 10 points if you are correct but -10 points if you are incorrect so choose carefully. Smiley
In the event of a tie, the person who gets the closest answer to the tie-break question will be deemed the winner.

5. I will be using statistics listed at NFL.com during/after the game for the purpose of deciding the result of each question.

6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by 10pm on Sunday. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet by 11pm.

7. The winner will be the person who scores the most points.

8. My decision is final in all matters (until proven otherwise).

9. If you have any questions, please post below or PM me.



I will post the payout structure once I know the number of entrants. There is likely to be a token prize for last place.


Have fun.


The questions are:

1. Handicap Winner         CAR-5.5/DEN+5.5               
2. Total Points         44.5      UNDER/OVER         
3. Total Carolina Points         25.5   UNDER/OVER               
4. Total Denver Points         19.5   UNDER/OVER               
5. 1st Field Goal         CAR/DEN               
6. Longest Field Goal         45.5   UNDER/OVER               
7. Longest Touchdown Yardage         41.5   UNDER/OVER               
8. Total Offensive Yards         660.5         UNDER/OVER         
9. Total Pass Completions         41.5   UNDER/OVER               
10. Total Penalties         12.5   UNDER/OVER      (Accepted penalties)         
11. Total Sacks         4.5      UNDER/OVER            
12. Total punts         8.5      UNDER/OVER            
13. Total Touchdowns         4.5   UNDER/OVER               
14. Total Turnovers         2.5   UNDER/OVER               
15. Total Passing Yds – Cam Newton         241.5   UNDER/OVER               
16. Total Passing Yds – Peyton Manning         226.5   UNDER/OVER               
17. Total Rushing Yds – Jonathan Stewart         68.5   UNDER/OVER               
18. Total Rushing Yds – C J Anderson         58.5      UNDER/OVER            
19. Total Rushing Yds – Cam Newton         38.5      UNDER/OVER            
20. National Anthem Length         120.5   UNDER/OVER      (Settled as per PaddyPower)         


Please select one of the options in bold for each question and don't forget to nominate your joker.

The tie-break question is:

What will be the total number of nett passing yards from both teams combined during the match, i.e. including negative yardage for sacks.



Here is last year's thread if you want to see how it went.

Thanks for running this and thanks for a reminder of last year's results.  



It was always in the bag, too. In no way was it massively swung on the last play of the game. Ish.

Thank you, Pete Carroll.

Same bank details, Mere?

Thanks for running this, Vince.

I've been formulating my plan of attack, & I reckon if I make 3 Entries I can't lose, I can cover every eventuality, so I might just do that.

I just need to come up with suitable names for each of my Teams now.
