I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.

In just under an hour the New England Patriots will play their final game of the regular season. They are a mere sixty minutes away from becoming the first team ever to win sixteen games in the regular season and from becoming the second team to finish the season undefeated. They have said many times that though they would love to accomplish this feat they are more worried about the winning the Super Bowl. This begs the question of how long their starters will play. National experts will tell you that the Patriots should sit their starters and rest up for the playoffs. New Englanders will cry to you that the starters have to play, two in particular, Randy Moss and Tom Brady so they can capture individual season records for the most touchdowns receptions and most touchdown passes respectively. Well, what are they going to do?
