Super Bowl XLVII Picks

So, who's taking home the Lombardi Trophy this year?
Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers

Results after AFC/NFC Championships:
1. Psilocybinjunkie - 8 2. MadSeasonAbove - 7 3. Gayrey - 6 4. kendawg - 6 (where did you go??) 5. LiquidSmoke - 6 6. shLong - 6 7. grewya - 5 8. resonant111 - 5 9. zappaisgod - 5 10. consumesomeshrooms - 4 11. elax420 - 4 12. Senor_Doobie - 4 13. Bassfreak - 3 14. gzuf - 2 15. Penguarky Tunguin - 2 16. vetsinspandex - 2 17. KillerPicklez - 1 18. Madtowntripper - 1
Looks like it comes down to Psilocybinjunkie and MadSeasonAbove. Either Psilocybinjunkie wins or it will be a tie, assuming they pick opposing teams. I'm sure Psilo isn't interested in winning a supporter account, so I have a backup plan there. If you guys tie, I'll just get you both a little something. 
I still encourage everyone to pick, as I'll do a final season total for guys that made regular season picks too.
As for me...I'm rooting for Coach Harbaugh.

I'm with you, Coach Harbaugh will come out victorious.
In all seriousness, I'm going with the Ravens.
We can debate back and forth why either team will win and there's plenty of good reasons on both sides of the fence. I personally just think it's the Raven's time, and I believe a defense that can shut down Tom Brady at Gillette and Peyton Manning at Mile High is capable of doing the same with Kaepernick.
Either way, amazing matchup, i'll be happy no matter who wins. Great stories leading up to this game.
I dont think I've been this excited over a Super Bowl (that didn't have my team playing in it) since Elway and Denver played against Favre and the Packers.

Ravens.
Hard to pick against the cinderella once they've made it this far. Plus i don't think Kaep has the balls and grit to pull it off by himself he'll need tons of help from special teams and turnovers.

man i shouldn't have made fun of psilocybinjunkie for calling russell wilson a "midget" and a terrible pick back in april. cuz now his prediction skills are proving to be top notch!!!
as for my pick...49ers. can't wait for a scrambling rookie (essentially) quarterback to win the super bowl!!! so tired of hearing all this "you have to be a pocket qb to win" garbage.
pistol zone-read option is going to be the future of the NFL after this season. (especially with chip kelly coming into the league next year, with mike vick as his possible option qb!!!) the falcons wouldn't have been gashed on the ground last week if it wasn't for the zone-read offense. they played outside contain ALL DAY on kaepernick, thus opening up the interior lanes for gore and company. that's why that offense is so beastly...the d has to choose between the inside run or the outside run, cuz you can't stop both at once!!! love it...
zone-read option aint no fad like the wildcat folks, that shit is beastly.

the panthers didn't really use zone-read option this year from what i saw. if they did it was only a *very* minor part of the offense. the only newton game i saw was the panthers/eagles monday night game but newton was running a normal "pro-style" offense the entire time.
any coach that doesn't use zone-read or at least some shotgun spread with a scrambler qb is an idiot.

Ehh guess time will tell.
I think its pretty dumb to invest so much in a guy that is one hit away from a career ender ala RG3.
No doubting its effectiveness this year though.

well if it does become more popular (which i think it will) teams that run this would be wise to consider their QBs to be more like RBs in terms of career expectancy.
a guy like kaepernick, for example, you wouldn't expect him to have a 15 year career like a pocket passer. if you coaches were realistic they'd be like "well we can get a good eight years out of him, but with this offense it's worth it."
but all you have to do is draft another quarterback with scrambling ability. these guys are going to become hot commodities in the future. in the 2014 draft johnny manziel is going to be the #1 player off the board and he's going to be the "future prototype" for quarterbacks in this league.
i might be wrong, but that's my prediction, for what it's worth. scramblers are the future of the position if you ask me. pocket qbs will still around, but they will no longer be the "only type" of qb that coaches prefer.

I agree when you put it like that. Pocket passers will still be around and dominate but the old mold will be gone. Super Athletic cross sport players have been hugely successful. I think that read option will lose effectiveness in years to come though.
Calling it now. Manziel will be a bust in the NFL. dudes like 5'11-6'0 and 180 and has a noodle arm. You telling me I can be the prototypical NFL qb? Hes got a lot of developing that needs to be done.

Probably so, but he doesn't really have prototypical Size, Strength, or Speed, and is already getting in trouble with the law. Thats why i said he needs lots of development.

niners shud win
but i think the ravens will tho
the ravens are not as good as the pats or the niners, but they are hotter
each of the last few years the team that has won the SB has been the HOT team, not the better one, and i think the ravens will continue that streak
but as a whole throughout the whole season i wouldt even put the ravens in the top 5 cuz face it, they werent
having said that, fuck ray lewis and suggs. they are dirty (insert racit word here)'s and thats exactly how they act
Go niners

He's apparently pussying out of it. He said he would contact a mod to arrange things.
