E.K. Nation's Correct Super Bowl Prediction (As Far As Spreads Go)
If there is one thing we do right here at E.K. Nation, it's telling you, the semi-faithful reader, what the final score of the Super Bowl will be so that you can figure out who's going to beat the spread, and then bet lots of money, and then win big sums of money in proportion to the amount you wagered.
Here's our history:
Here's our history:
SUPER BOWL XXXVIII: We predicted Carolina would defeat New England 19-17, which meant that Carolina would cover the 7-point spread as the underdog. The Panthers did indeed cover, losing by just three.So, we have no choice but to get another one right. We're three-for-three all-time in E.K. Nation Super Bowl sides history. We suck at pretty much everything else, as we tell you over and over and over again, but we're good when it comes to Super Bowl Sunday; nay, we are perfect. Here it is, kids...
SUPER BOWL XXXIX: Our pick was that the Eagles would beat the Patriots 36-28, meaning New England would not cover the 7-point spread as the favorite. And indeed the Pats did not cover; they won by three.
SUPER BOWL XLI: We said that Pittsburgh would beat Seattle, handily at that; we projected the final score to be 38-3, meaning the 5-point spread was no big deal for Pittsburgh to cover. And it wasn't; the Steelers covered, winning 21-10.
What this means is of course that the Bears, as 7-point underdogs, will cover. Chicago (+7) is the play! Go forth and multiply (your money amounts), my good sons (and daughters), upon hearing the good news this day!HARK! The Chicago Bears will defeat the Indianapolis Colts by a final score of 27-22.
