Super Bowl Prediction Game

PrintAlright, the Super Bowl is upon us, whether we like it or not. Whatever your status in the playoffs, everybody is allowed to make predictions in the postseason. For the Super Bowl, when you make your pick, please include a pick of the combined total yards for the game. That is our tiebreaker.
I've posted the formatting rules required for posting your results after the jump. Please read over that (it's fairly short) so we can have consistency in the posting. All times are pacific and you are not required to predict every game, but obviously it helps your chances of winning to predict all the games. If you forget to pick the Sunday morning games, you can always predict whatever games remain on the slate.
Once again, please review the formatting rules after the jump before posting your results.
NY Giants @ New England - Sunday 2/5 3:30pm
IMPORTANT RULE
We implemented this rule last season and it seemed to make things easier for us. Previously, folks had just posted their scores in any particular fashion, although howtheyscored had made requests for a specific format. Given the amount of time and effort howtheyscored has to put into determining the final results, I am implementing a requirement for how to format your scores (based on the spreadsheet howtheyscored has created). If you fail to follow this format, any incorrectly formatted scores for the week will be disqualified. The format is "Team A @ Team B: A score - B score." That basically is visitor @ home: visitor score - home score." Here's an example of how to do it:
Using NY Giants @ New England below, if you think New England will win 24-14, here's how it needs to appear:
NY Giants @ New England: 14 - 24
If you think the NY GIants will win 24-14, it needs to appear as this:
NY Giants @ New England: 24 - 14
If you'd like you can bold the winner (NY Giants @ New England: 14 - 24), but that is not required (although probably a good backup in case you reversed the score by accident.
If you make a mistake in the formatting I'll reply to your score reminding you to correct it. To correct it, simply reply to your picks and post them in the correct format. Do not post your scores again at the bottom of the thread. I'll make sure and include these directions each week so people do not forgot and lose out on points.
If anybody has any questions at all about this, or anything related to the contest, let me know (ninersnation@gmail.com) and I'll answer them.

Lets see......
Do I pick a team comprised of arrogant, trash talking D-bags, or one with a QB that could tie JOE MONTANA (and terry bradshaw) for most superbowl wins? I choose……….not to choose.
The team with the Red, White & Blue uniforms will win.

Let's see if I can do this without a rant
NY Giants @ New England 27-31
Total Yards: 736
The winning TD will be from Ryan Mallet to Deion Branch after Tom Brady was knocked out of the game in the 2nd quarter. Tom Coughlin was ready to say that defense wins championships until he (or his team) suddenly remembered that the Giants didn’t have one either (or at least not a complete one). Eli Manning throws 2 interceptions, Brady and Mallet each throw 1. MVP: Wes Welker.

A FINAL HURRAH
And when we win, we want to dominate. We want to take guys out. We want to hurt guys. We want to win. We just want to dominate, hit them in the mouth. - Rathman

Well you used the same score as me
and didn’t do the tiebreaker, so we know you lost to me. :-)
We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.
For all the marbles!
