2023 Three Best Bets -- Super Bowl

Fans, the Conference Title Games wrecked some people.

Steve Jobs posted an other great week, and he now has this contest in hand.
By my calculations, he could sit on the sidelines Super Bowl Sunday and win this thing.

I (poptart) still have my Lock of the Year pick in my back pocket, but even if I use it, and it is a winner (and my other Super Bowl pick is a winner), I would still fall just short of Steve Jobs' .587 (at this moment).

However, if S. Jobs decides to make a pick(s), then it would still be possible for someone(s) else to steal the victory from him.
So, we'll see what he decides to do.

I will post lines for the Super Bowl one week from today.



Championship Games Scores
Roux: 1-2 - .500 on the season
HPG: 2-1 – solid week
Roach: 0-3 – tough sledding
poptart: 2-1 – Lions backdoor cover hurts
Troll#3: 0-3 - pain
Mikey: 0-5 – Lock of the Year pain
Steve Jobs: 3-0 – BRILLIANT!
Biggie: 0-3 - *clank*
TWIS: 0-2 – no good
Screw_Michigan: 2-0 - nice work
Dr_Phibes: 1-2 – fade
Donnie Baker: 0-1 – .500 on the season

Hell yes. Last year Dr_Phibes was sitting pretty and could have laid back and won. But he stayed in the race and made it possible for me to tie him for the really big trophy. "A gallant thing to do."

So I'll be making the big picks, to win. Do your damnedest.




Fukkin' yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Thanks Pops and Screwy. :drink:

Jobs is going to man up, that’s excellent news and consistent with the spirit of this deal.

So-brass tacks-is it true that the only way that Jobs doesn’t win is if pops goes 4-0 and Jobs goes 0-2?

If so, then there’s no reason for pops to think too hard here. Just wait for Jobs to commit, then bet the opposites and designate one of them as the LoTY. Doesn’t matter which one.

I don't understand why you don't update them every day for us.

You guys are over-complicating this. You should just pick the best teams with the best players.

Thank you Dan Vogel (and myself) for running 3BB this year! Another fantastic job and another fantastic season. More crying from Dave, please.

Certainly you are not referring to my performance in the league. My worst finish EVER. But, yes, someone has to be the bitch.
