Super Bowl XLIV Predictions

We got the pool assignments for the Super Bowl today. My best squares are Indy4-NO3 and Indy0-NO4. I also have Indy7-NO5 which isn't that bad. So I figure I've got a decent chance to win one of the quarters.

I don't know what my university would have served for Indianapolis at our annual Super Bowl parties. I have a friend who grew up in Indy but I haven't had a chance to ask him what he thinks they would have served. I'm sure Gumbo and Jambalaya would be served for the New Orleans side of the cafeteria.

As far as the actual game goes, I think Indy will win. I think the game will be a back and forth affair and it could come down to who has the ball last. But I expect Indy's experience will give them and edge. New Orleans will probably be a bit overwhelmed and suffering from the gee-whiz factor. Indy (and especially Peyton Manning) is likely to come out and treat this as just another football game.

It should be a good game and I'm hoping the commercials are a little better this year as well. I think the best thing for me is that I honestly don't care who wins. I like Indy and will probably root for them, but I like New Orleans too and would have no problem whatsoever if they win. Hopefully, it's an entertaining game.

Update: Mrs. X sent this link to me. I think GHW Bush tops SB 41 but the rest go to the SB for a final of SB 23, Presidents 21.
