Super Bowl XLV Recap

Super Bowl Pick: 0-1
Super Bowl ATS: 0-1
Overall Picks: 170-97
Overall ATS: 142-120-5

Super Bowl XLV

GREEN BAY PACKERS VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Line: Packers -2.5
O/U: 44.5

My Pick: Steelers +2.5. Pittsburgh hoists the Lombardi Trophy after a 21-17 triumph!

I guess I overlooked the fact that Green Bay is 3-1 in Super Bowls...not far off of Pittsburgh's 6-1...which was the main reason I went with the Steelers! Both played a solid game, but Pittsburgh just couldn't overcome three bad turnovers that led to 21 Green Bay points. In short, it was a great game, and the Packers are a deserving champion. The halftime show was awkward (The Slash part may have been the only redeemable part - what was up with the dancers with the boxes on their heads?), the anthem was a mess, and I still don't quite understand why Fox put together a reading of the Declaration of Independence to be read as part of the pregame show...but the game itself was fantastic. Now we must suffer through 6 football-less months...as long as golf season begins soon, most of us will be ok.

Let's hope for Giants vs. Jets in Super Bowl XLIV at New Meadowlands Stadium in 2012!

We are the National Score Predicting League
...a group of NFL score predictors that organized into a league in 1988 first just to win a trophy, but now we have just about every major paper that features a writer doing score predicting, in our league, competing for what now is a legit world championship in NFL score predicting.

Here is where you come in. You only came onto our radar screen this summer as we were searching for new score predicting sources. As we tabulated your stats we became aware of just how good your picks were as compared to, well, the whole rest of the score predicting world. We're just starting up the new website www.2nspl.com which has rankings shown and you way at the top of the list.
The next update will reflect that Eklof leads you in some stats though.

We have a farm league. At the very least you've moved up into that group of 32. If you do well there you could advance to the pro league. From there a world title in NFL score predicting is in the offing.

I would like to see you fast tracked right into the pro league. This is under consideration by the commissioner.

Now-we do give more weight to those who actively participate, that is, stay in contact through email or post your picks at the site. If you get back to us soon the Commissioner (Hope Maruzo) might give you a fast track into the pro league. Your 2009 season stats might also be a factor. We have not tabbed those yet.


No money is involved or obligation, other than letting us know that you want in and please make score predictions via email if that is easier. Contact us at nslcommish@hotmail.com or post your picks at the site. The new site is www.2nspl.com We still need to update the new site with the newer stats, just to let you know.


Regards, Gerry Shultz, NSPL Representative
