Jim's Superbowl contest blog.
This is just for fun, not for money. Sorry to disappoint those who worship money.Here's the deal. You get 100 points for picking the winner of the game.
Your choices are either the Kansas City Chiefs, or the San Francisco 49ers.
Plus, you get up to 60 points for picking the number of points scored by the Chiefs
and up to 60 points for picking the number of points scored by the 49ers.
So, the maximum of points you could get is 220.
However, you lose 1 point for each point the actual final score for that team
is from the score you predicted for that team. So, if you predict the Chiefs will score 24 points and they score a total of 30 points, you would get 54 points for that part of your guess.
So, lets say you pick the 49ers to win by the score of 27 to 16
and the 49ers do win, but by the score of 31 to 12.
You would get the 100 points for picking the correct winner, plus (60 - (31 - 27)) + (60 - (16 - 12)) = 212. It would be very difficult to end up with no points, unless you don't put in your guesses.
To play you get one chance to place your guesses. No changes
Your guesses must be placed before this Sunday at 6 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time).
The actual kickoff of the game is at 6:30 pm EST.
Whoever has the highest total score will be crowned 2020 CS Superbowl Champion until next year
and I will post the hierarchy of the CS finalists scores on this blog after the game is over.
Good luck

Maybe they were just looking at that Giant Pizza....
Go Chiefs..
As per the blog, predictions must be in by 4 pm est. It is now 1:58 pm est.
So, you only have about 2 hours to get your prediction in with enough time to qualify.
The summary so far, is that 11 people so far have had the courage to make their prediction for all to see. I am also making a prediction, which will happen right after I summarize the ones so far.
Using the first 3 characters of the person's CS ID, we have so far
Predicting the 49ers will win;
Ami; with a final score of 12 to 5
But; with a final score of 36 to 28
and Mer; with a final score of 13 to 8
Predicting the Chiefs will win;
Hot; with a final score of 28 to 21
Nic; with a final score of 31 to 27
Pat; with a final score of 23 to 18
UnF; with a final score of 31 to 24
Wil; with a final score of 42 to 34
LaF; with a final score of 20 to 10
Pal; with a final score of 37 to 23
and Mag; with a final score of 23 to 17 (also predicting OT)
I am predicting the 49ers to win, however I think it will be quite close for most of the game.
My prediction is 49ers 23 to Chiefs 20
Merc - your prediction was included in the summary I made above under Mer.
Don't worry.
I'll add the new one, Cha, to my summary before 1/2 time and announce the new CS 2020 Superbowl champion sometime later tonight.
Good luck to all.
The rest of you, who missed out on getting your pick in, can root for any of the ones who did.
Anyone you want to win
So far, Chancer is the last one. But, I'll accept any until 6 pm est.
The kickoff is 6:30 pm est.
I once asked her, if she was named after someone and she said -
"No. But I was born in the back seat of a Mercedes."
I asked her if she was conceived there too.
She didn't know.
Congratulations to co-winners. Yes, we have a tie.
Both Unfazed and HotrodLarry are tied at the top with a total of 216 points each.
They are CS's 2020 Superbowl co-Champions !! Great work both of you !
However, I though SF would shut them down. They did for a lot of the game
and that last touchdown could have been called either way.
Congrats to our CS winners and to the Chiefs and their fans.
Congrats on your prediction and on your Chiefs winning.
I heard fireworks going off from 4 miles away......
You didn't ever play my game the greatest game of them all!~
