Five Crazy Super Bowl Predictions

Proving that we can over-analyze the Super Bowl just as much as anyone, here is the ‘Five Crazy Super Bowl Predictions.’

5. You will hear and see Peyton constantly during the game.

NBC is carrying the Super Bowl this year and if you’ve ever watched a big game on their channel before or even the Olympics you know that they have a knack for drilling into the ground stupid story lines and constantly showing people during the game over and over and over like someone’s mom who flew into the event or an injured player.

Watching the Olympics on NBC is just painful sometimes and it doesn’t help that the Colts franchise QB, Peyton Manning, is due to be cut from the team in March.

This year expect the announcers to talk constantly about Peyton Manning. It’ll be worst than 3 years ago when Peyton’s endorsements caused every third commercial to star him.

The Super Bowl is in Indianapolis after all and Peyton’s kid brother is playing. But don’t focus on Eli too much, guys. Just keep talking Peyton as much as possible.

Expect the camera to constantly cut to Peyton watching the game from his suite every time something critical happens during the game or his brother Eli does something silly like throw an INT. You’ll probably see more of Peyton during the game than Eli.

4. There Will Be Tebow

Despite not making the big game, you can expect talk about Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos. It’s just bound to happen.

There might even be some more Tebow Jockey ads airing during the Super Bowl to boot. But Tebow is a polarization talking point and the announcers are sure to keep bringing him up and show some clips and discuss his future despite the guy not even playing.

3. You will Turn to the Puppy Bowl at least once

C’mon man, at least one flip the channel over to Animal Planet. They’ve got the Puppy Bowl and this year there’s a twist. Piggies! If nothing else, turn over during the lame 2-hour halftime event and catch some real action.

2.Rob Gronkowski Will Break or Tie records

New England’s Rob Gronkowski is a beast. He’s one of the best TE’s in the business and if he keeps this up he’ll go down as one of the best of all time. Our prediction is that Gronk will challenge some of the receiving records in the Super Bowl history books.

To the best of my knowledge, the TE Super Bowl records that stand up to being crunched by Gronk are 11 receptions for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns, the most ever by a tight end in a Super Bowl by Cincinnati’s Dan Ross. His receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns were all the most by a tight end in Super Bowl history.

1. Vince Wilfork Will Run With The Ball

In my opinion, one of the most underrated guys in the Super Bowl is New England’s Vince Wilfork. The 320+ lb defensive lineman is one of the key reasons the Pats are back in the big game and if there is a God up there I hope he grants us all this final prediction.

Let’s see Vince run the ball, either by INT or fumble or possibly a “Fridge” moment at RB. The big guy has run in the past and it’s a great site to see.
