Drink gets the Rams - no need to submit a tiebreak.
Jericho and drc will be splitting the Patriots. Both need to submit a tiebreak. In case those tiebreaks are off by an even # of points, the one submitting earlier will get the midpoint. If both submit identical picks, the second one will be modified up/down 1 point based on whether that second person indicated ADD or SUBTRACT. If they did not, I will flip a coin.
Tiebreak picks should be submitted by PM.

If I somehow win this thing, it'll be because the Patriots won? That seems like a loss to me. Double whammy if I lose on a tiebreaker, which I always seem to do. Welp, here we go...

Well, it was supposed to be my Eagles in the Super Bowl again, but let's go Rams! I think NE wins though.

For the Super Bowl, here are the picks in the order I received them:
01-20-19 10:25pm NEP drc [54-down]
01-20-19 11:21pm NEP Jericho [55-down]
Nobody picked a number that had already been chosen, so no picks needed to be bumped up/down
Super Bowl:
Here is the spread table for a PATRIOTS victory:
54 or fewer = drc [chose 54]
55 or more = Jericho [55]
Here is the spread table for a RAMS victory:
0 to infinity = I Drink Molson
01-20-19 10:25pm NEP drc [54-down]
01-20-19 11:21pm NEP Jericho [55-down]

In an amazingly low-scoring struggle, the Patriots eek out a 13-3 win over the Rams.... thus earning drc not only the an unprecedented 2nd championship, but the first to ever win back-to-back.
New England 13, LA Rams 3
