Well my preseason pick of a Pittsburgh v. Green Bay superbowl didn't quite come true, in both cases we can partially blame the poor playoff officiating, but I'm an umpire. I respect the profession and the pressure the guys go under. *Sarcasm* I never make a mistake when I umpire, never.
Raiders - 21
Bucs - 13
Jerry Rice will score first in the game.
The odds makers all chose the Raiders as 3.5 point favorites, but the ESPN experts are choosing Tampa Bay.
ESPN's panel of experts is quite interesting. All of them, except Eric Allen and Ed Werder said the point spread will be 7 points or less. Green Bay's ol' boy, Sterling Sharpe thinks it'll be a battle of the kickers with Gramatica being the MVP - interesting. Maybe all those neck and head injuries were really something to be worried about. Dan Patrick is very confused, he picked Jon Gruden as MVP, well, ummm, he doesn't play, Dan - sorry. Of course, Ron Jaworski is a dumbass, so don't look at whatever he said.

Good defense beats good offense nine times out of ten. Simeon Rice forces a fumble, and Gannon gets picked off a couple of times. John Madden scribbles pointlessly on the screen, and talks a lot about bratwurst. Al Michaels tries desparately and unsuccessfully to keep the conversation on-topic. The ads again suck worse than we're hoping for.
