How I Pick the Superbowl Winner!

So here we are once again, anxiously awaiting the Superbowl...well most of you are anyway. As an ex-pat, I am lucky if I catch wind of the playoffs while scanning the BBC News website, or maybe some newsworthy event that has occurred will be played on the evening news. But for the most part, the UK is now in the looking at the Six Nation Rugby tournament or debating the decision to leave David Beckham off the England Team for the upcoming England vs. Switzerland football match. They are very unconcerned over the Jewel of the American Football crown this weekend.

Which left me in a predicament! Basically here I was minding my own business when I get a package from the USA. When I opened it, part of the packing material was the sports section of a major Dallas newspaper, with a huge spread on the Superbowl. And that sent me into an absolute panic! Why you wonder? Whilst you may be thinking I am a bit nuts (OK a lots nuts), I was afraid the game had already been played. My reason? I would have been late for my annual Superbowl bet with my dad!! This has been a tradition of ours now for about the last 20 years, and to miss this would have been doom and gloom for me!

But upon reading a bit, I was safe as the game was yet to be played. I had to, however, get up to speed on who was even in the Superbowl! Is that pathetic or what? Anyway, after a quick search on the Internet I was able to determine who was in the big game. Now I had to choose which team I was going to back before I called Dad to get the bet in place.

I suppose you think that I would now be in search of stats, commentary and expert analysis of the teams so I could make an educated and informed decision on what team I was going place my hard earned money and faith in. Well, I can tell you in no uncertain terms I don't need stats or expert analysis to make my decision. I don't even need to know how good the players are.

So what is, you are wondering, my secret method of determining my pick for the winning team? It is simple; I use the QCF to choose my team. And the QCF is something no football fan should be without. I rely on the Quarterback Cuteness Factor to pick the Winner of the Superbowl!

And this years QCF without a doubt means that the New England Patriots are gonna win the big game. Do I have to know the QB stats, or even his name? Nope! The fact that he is simply YUMMY is all I need to know!

So there you have it, you can take it to the bank! And if the Patriots don't win, it is because some Giants flunkie put the wrong shampoo in the showers and made my guy look less than his usual best, so they will simply have to be disqualified!

Note to Dad: I only take cash!

Enjoy the game you all!
