Here's the virtual Super Bowl bet results:
Mike:
$50 on Pats (money line)
$25(?) on Pats to cover (+14)
$25(?) on O/U (?)
he ends up with $300 (wins $200)

Rich:
$50 on Under 53
$50 on Pats to cover (+14)
he ends up with $200 (Wins $100)

Tyler:

Jake:

I end up with $165 (wins $65)

Greg:
$75 on Rams (money line)
$25 on Under 53
he ends up with $50 (loses $50)

Aaron:
$35 on Over 53
$65 on Rams cover (-14)
he ends up with NOTHING (loses $100)

Tad:
$100 on Over 53
he ends up with NOTHING (losses $100)

Sow, how about those Pats? Myself, as I stated on this page, is that I want either Drew Bledsoe to win it for the Pats, or have the Rams win. I get neither.

It was a totally lame game for 3 quarters (although Pats fans had to be just floating) but the 4th quarter was amazing, absolutely epic. 2nd biggest upset in NFL history (behind Joe Namath led Jets win over Colts in S.B. III).

Here's the breakdown: 60% Rams choke, 40% Patriots win. All their scores were set up by, or directly from, turnovers, except that last mind-boggling drive for the game-winning field goal. Warner never looked good, and his accuracy was off from the get go, even before the pressure "got to him." The Rams idiotic playcalling and Criminal under-use of Marshal Faulk in the 4th quarter did them in. Mike Martz was BADLY outcoached by Brian Belicheck. Got to give Props to the Pats. They were lucky, opportunistic, and good enough throughout the Playoffs.
