Since you created a contest I have very little chance of winning now, I must call you out on this....Seriously though, Thanks for the great contest and all the work you put in, definitely makes the yearly subscription a no-brainer.
Membership has it's privledges.

Thanks for the bump, Mario.
I can't make any guarantees, but I will try to update things as they happen during the game.

Thanks for running a great contest Turk!!! I think it's pretty cool that an entry can come up out of obscurity to finish so high (I think I was buried somewhere in the 2000s prior to the Supe)

I have to add that I'm not sure but I think my final total came frighteningly close to the number projected by the Turk just prior to the Super Bowl.
Happily the $100 and subscription will take a little of the sting off me losing $200 when the Cardinals failed to make it 14-10 at the half.

Throwing doesn't count - it's based on the dude who ended up in the endzone with the ball.Did a little
analysis for the heck of it. I'm sure the Turk will have some more intricate and fascinating stuff 
Anyhow, based on the provisional results:16 of the correct answers were "Yes". There were two entries that guessed every answer as "Yes", good for 5092.23 points. They tied for 4643th out of 5794 entries.19 of the correct answers were "No". FBG must be a natural breeding ground for pessimists as there were 6 entries that guess every answer as "No", good for 7513.15 points. They fared better, tying for 587th place.In terms of picking favorites vs. underdogs, the following were the results (without getting into mathematical exactitude, all favorites had point values less that 348):24 of the correct answers were "Favorites". There were no entries with this property (since which answer was the "favorite" at any given time was a moving target, this is not surprising). If there was such an entry, it would have had 6758.54 points, good for 1513th place.11 of the correct answers were "Underdogs". Remarkably, there were 3 entries that had all the underdogs as choices (must've just made it under the deadline I would guess). These entries had 5846.54 points, good for a tie in 3276th place.The highest possible score was 12,605.38. Congrats to Mr./Ms. 205720 who was the (provisional) winner and the only entry to break 10k, finishing with 10,022.84. It'd be kind interesting to know what the lowest scoring 35-selection entry was.Anyhow, I'm all geeked out for the night -QGAfter the Rain

Is the contest still unofficial? I am in second and am pretty excited!
Sorry about that. We are indeed now official. Congrats to you and the other prize winners. I'm not sure exactly what the timetable is, but the winners will be contacted by Dodds or Clayton.
