My Super Bowl Picks of the Past 14 Years

Super Bowl LVIII Champions

Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs 25, San Francisco 49ers 22 (OT)

What a game!

So this was a good one. It was also difficult to tell who was going to win right to the end. Also, it felt like an even match-up right from the beginning. Even heading into the big game, it proved difficult to make a pick. 

Before that, however, I thought it might be fun to review my own past predictions and see how accurate I was. Yes, I have made predictions for the big game every year since January of 2011, when the Packers beat the Steelers. Since then, it's been a mixed bag. Sometimes, I seem to be on point. Other times, clearly, I underestimated the team that actually emerged victorious. So let's see how I did with each of those predictions, and follow that up with my official prediction for this one, for Super Bowl LVII.

Here goes:

Super Bowl XLV: Packers over Steelers

Now, since I picked the 49ers and got that one wrong, it sinks back to a middle record. In other words, I'm at .500. Not so great. So if you are keeping count, that means that out of the 14 Super Bowls dating back to Super Bowl XLVI that I have made predictions for here on this blogger, I have been accurate when picking the winner seven times, and inaccurate seven times. Half the time right, half the time wrong. Have to admit, I would have thought my accuracy would have been better. In fact, I was a bit stunned and admittedly disappointed to see how often I got the picks wrong for the big game.
