I saw this on Yahoo and thought why not.

Join here.

You pick up to 4 squares. There is no football knowledge necessary. It is all dumb luck.

Each square represents the final digits of each team's score, but you won't know which digits until the game starts. If you get Patriots 1, Rams 0 and the score ends up Patriots 21, Rams 10, you win. You will probably lose.

I've never understood why this is the chosen method for playing Super Bowl squares. Surely there's a fairer way to have people choose to wager five bucks against the rest of their office on the outcome of the game. This might as well be a four round raffle.

That said, I figure why not pick for the Rams to get stuck at a point total and the Pats to beat them up, so I went with four in one column for the Rams.

If there were fantasy prop bets, I'd take the over on the Anthem.

And thanks for doing this, Cubs!

This strategy worked??? Your thinking was sound even though it didn't exactly play out like expected.

I'm just as amazed as you. Never in a million years would I have guessed the point total to be 3.

If anything, maybe next year I'll buy 4 squares in my office pool and try this strategy for real. I mean, what's $20 anyway?

Technically they only paid him $8 million (or was it $7 million?), although they do take a cap hit. Having said that, I don't think anyone in that office knows what is going on right now. - StingArmy
