1: Which team will win the initial game coin toss?
a) : Carolina
b) : Seattle


whee.

I can't believe there isn't more discussion on this in-depth question. Clearly, those who pick this correctly have done their homework about the teams in question.

[JackOfSpeed]

Anyone have the stats on this one? Obviously, Carolina has the advantage with this as the road team, getting to call Heads and Tails.

Oh, here I've got something: Turns out that Heads has been the result of 50.001% of all coin flips in the NFL verus 49.999% for Tails. I'd go with Heads.

Now does this include the game from a few years back on Thanksgiving when Jerome Bettis called heads and the official thought he called tails? I don't see how that coinflip can qualify, hence your variance will be greatly altered.

[Ainex]

The real question should be: With this particular referee how many heads vs how many tails...maybe he likes tails.

[Ghazban]

Don't forget they sometimes use special coins (I know they do for the Super Bowl; not sure about the divisional finals). Those coins might not be evenly weighted, giving an advantage to heads or tails.

2: Which team will win the game?
a) : Carolina
b) : Seattle


Seattle is at home and I am sure is the favorite, didn't they open at 4.5 point favorites?

[JackOfSpeed]

yep go with Seattle, they'll win this game about 6 times out of 10. That said, I'll be rooting for Carolina big time despite this bet. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

3: Which team will score first?
a) : Carolina
b) : Seattle

[pokergrader]

I would answer #3 the same way you answered #2.

I'm taking Seattle for every question this week.

Overanalysis has been my downfall. This week I'm going on impulse and prayer /images/graemlins/cool.gif

4: Which team will score last?
a) : Carolina
b) : Seattle


Answer what you answered for #2 I assume. I usually try to help out with some analysis but I'm a die hard Carolina fan and get too emotional and biased when it comes to my team /images/graemlins/smile.gif

5: Carolina and Seattle will combine for greater than or equal to seven (7) touchdowns?
a) : Yes
b) : No


Who knows ?????

[Schwartzy61]

Well that's 49 points...and the O/U for this game is 43.5/44 range. So I would have to go with no.

Seattle point 20 up on the Skins and Carolina's defense is even better. Carolina has lost both of their starting RBs to injuries so I would think their offense is handicapped. Steve Smith will probably be their lone offensive weapon and I don't see him scoring 4 TDs all by himeslf, even as good as he is. Look for this game to be in the 20-17 or 17-14 range which means around 4 TDs total...

Ty Schwatzy61 !!!

[radii]

I agree w/ Schwartzy on this one, the over/under would have to be much higher before this was a safe yes answer.

[umdpoker]

damn, i missed on the coin toss. now, i just need carolina to score a trash td(but not more) at the end of the game to get $50.

[S&SGW]

Did Carolina win the coin toss?

Apologies if this has been posted before.

I think I got 4/5 correct. When does party ship me the $50?
