I don't know if you all get enthused about the Pro-Bowl game or not, but which Conference do you think will win.  I think I can pretty much predict it will be 2 against 2! My pick is definately the AFC. 

Super Bowl pick - you know it!!   New England

Didn't get back in time for probowl picks, but I would have picked NFC and been wrong anyway.  Every year I watch it, because there is is nothing else NFL on tv - but it's just not the same as a real game.  I'm already getting depressed thinking of how boring the rest of the winter is gonna be without football.

Well good luck, Joy... may the best team win.  You know who I'm going for!  I got my dirty pjs ready to put on, my Christmas tree is still up and chili is cooking on the stove.  All ready for the game and my wish is that it is a real good one.  Still kind of shocked that we are even in it.  Who'd have thought that out of just 4 people playing here, 2 of them would get lucky and go to the big show!  That's pretty great odds.  Go Giants!!!!

Congratulations Bettyjean!!  You guys played well, ours, not so much.  How cool is it that Eli wins his second superbowl and this one is in his brother's house! 

I'm definately going to need to get with the dirty pj's and leaving the Christmas tree up until the Superbowl next year!

Thank-you for the sympathy, Cynthia!

Thanks to all of you - you've made this football season so much fun!  See you later in the year.

Now, there's just 13 days left until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training.  :)   Play ball!

Thanks all, and I really am sorry Joy - kind of stinks that it was between your team and mine.  I really thought your guys had the momentum going your way and we never got ahead till the very end.  And my heart broke for Mr. Kraft... he just looked so sad that I wish the camera guy would have left him alone.  Cynthia, you are so right - that game was almost too intense for me.   Took a long time for me to wind down afterwards. 

I am glad for Eli though - he never seemed to get the respect he deserved. I am glad to see him step out of his brother's shadow and do well. 

It's been a great season and I'm gonna miss our little group sessions here.  Joy - Thanks for all the work you do.  You do a great job and we do appreciate it.  It makes the season just that much better.   And next year, everyone starts with a clean slate (and clean pjs) and maybe it will be Brady or Cutler's turn to win it all.  I guess I'm gonna have to order up that NFL channel and rewatch games till the preseason comes around again.

Oye no football today:( What's a girl to do? LOL.

Yeah guess I'll have to do the pj thing next year if it gets my Bears to a Superbowl! Don't think the hubby & son would go for leaving the xmas tree up until February thou. LOL:)

Joy your welcome anytime for the football sympathy. I know how it feels. Its been fun too sharing wins & losses w/all. Thanks for posting weekly the picks! Yes I'm curious to see how the White Sox do this year w/o Ozzie.

Bettyjean I'm hoping u've washed those pj's by now & taken down the xmas tree:) LOL:) Did u get to make it to the parade for the Giants? Yes get the NFL channel if u can otherwise those withdrawals for football r gonna b tough.

Alex thanks for joining us in our football picks this season:) Hope to see u later in the year on here!

I was reduced to watching the Celtics play basketball yesterday.  The only way it would have been worse is if I had been watching the Bruins.  Baseball & Football are my first choices.  Spring training opens up soon, so that's keeping me going.  :)
