Please make your message short and to the point. Your message should sound like this. "This is Marc, and I want the Steelers -3 for One Point, and the Eagles +10 for Two Points."

All picks MUST be called in prior to the start of the game you are picking. It's sad that I even have to make a mention of this....(Chris Sitko).

Tiebreaker(s): If there is a possibility of a tie for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place at the end of the season, then the total points of the Super Bowl will be used as a tie breaker. You must call in your total points prediction when you call in your Super Bowl Picks. Total points cannot be used as your One or Two point pick... It is for tiebreaker purposes only.
