NinersNation Prop Bet Scoring: UPDATED

I was in a similar situation as far as people and noise… but from what I could tell, the answer was UNDER for everything.

Caldwell was a statue.

I was in an apartment with 16 or 17 people so it was hard to hear the announcers for most of the game.

Prop 1: Number of Egregious Broadcaster Mistakes: 2.5

I honestly have no idea on this one. I think I enjoyed the game not being able to hear much of Nantz and Simms. I could hear them but I was talking about the previous play with people in the apartment. Nantz is growing on me though with some of his commercials and his appearance on HIMYM.

Prop 2: Number of Times that Jim Caldwell’s Colts’ Sacrificed Bid for a Perfect Season is Mentioned (3.0)

I don’t know, but I can’t imagine it was too many times since the Colts lost. We would have gotten one for sure late in a Colts win, but now who knows.

I’m thinking it was the under.

Prop 3: Number of Times that Brett Favre Gets Mentioned (3.5)

I’m down with counting the commercial, although at least he showed he can make jokes about himself. We may have the under on this though.

Prop 4: Number of Time “Who Dat” is Mentioned During the Actual Game (5.5)

No idea, but I recall seeing a couple Who Dat signs.

Prop 5: Number of Times Jim Caldwell is Shown on Camera Displaying Actual Human Emotions (1.5)

Easiest one of the day by far to calculate. It was amazing how little his face changed during the game.

I think 2-5 all went under (“educated” guess), but not sure about the first one since I couldn’t pay close attention.

I was at a party, and wasn’t paying attention to what the broadcasters were saying at all. The only time I even noticed the props bets was on the Brett Favre commercial. We also had several other bets going on during the game that had money involved, so there were too many things to keep track of.

Nantz mentioned Favre’s name (twice I think) after Porter’s INT-TD, since he also picked Favre last week.

I recall one Who Dat at the end by Nantz, possibly in combo with The Who.

I think at one point one of the announcers said the wrong team name and whatever point he was trying to make became totally incoherent

I did not see Jim Caldwell showing any human emotion.
The guy must be a closet Buddhist.

saw it yesterday with a crowd of about 20 people so it was quite noisy.

them mentioning the chance of a dual 18-0 Super Bowl and something about the Colt’s management’s decision to give up a perfect season for the Super Bowl during pre-game.

said New Orleans should not blitz at all and drop everyone into coverage. The play that happened right after New Orleans brought the house and Porter intercepted the ball to put the game away. Count one for Prop 1

Nantz said that Caldwell was the first rookie head coach since George Seifert to take his team to the Superbowl, when Bill Callahan was also a rookie head coach when the Raiders went to the Super Bowl in 2002.

Nantz said that Matt Stover was the oldest player to play in a Superbowl. That honor belongs to Steve Deberg who was 45 years old and a 3rd string QB for the 1998 Falcons when they went to the Super Bowl. Stover is 42.

On the 4th and 1 run attempt by the Saints at the end of the first half it was Mike Bell who got the ball. Nantz made the comment “Thomas had a couple of plays earlier in the game where he broke multiple tackles. He tried to do it there and it didn’t happen.” It’s a bad mistake when you just barely finished watching the replay and you name the wrong player.

Prop 1: Number of Egregious Broadcaster Mistakes: 2.5
At least 3. Over

Prop 2: Number of Times that Jim Caldwell’s Colts’ Sacrificed Bid for a Perfect Season is Mentioned. 3.0
I didn’t hear it at all. Under

Prop 3: Number of Times that Brett Favre Gets Mentioned (3.5)
If you count the commercial 3 times. If not 2. Either way it was Under

Prop 4: Number of Time “Who Dat” is Mentioned During the Actual Game (5.5)
Once, just before half-time when the Saints scored. Under

Prop 5: Number of Times Jim Caldwell is Shown on Camera Displaying Actual Human Emotions (1.5)
Not once. Under

so you can all assume I would have run the table

I went back and checked. No need for anyone else to go back and check. As a matter of fact Fooch should probably go ahead and just delete that whole fan post. You guy can totally trust me.

So is my check in the mail or do I come there and you guys present me with one of those giant check’s? It’s cool either way, but it sure would be neat to have one of those big checks.

I should have known better than to think Caldwell would show any emotion during the BIGGEST GAME OF HIS LIFE.
Sigh.
