Well, we’re down to the final football pick of the season. Honestly, this is just about the only interest point for me with this game. I could absolutely care less about either of these teams; there are zero compelling players or compelling stories to follow here. And with the economy being what it is, don’t look for as many great commercials. All in all, this will probably be a pretty ho-hum Super Bowl.

Still, we have picks to make around the Bybee household. For what it’s worth, our kids love doing this. With just one game left, here are our “standings”:

Joshua: 5-5
Sunny: 4-6
Jason: 4-6
Abby Kate: 3-4 (she’s only picked certain games that really interested her)

For some reason, Joshua is absolutely convinced that the Steelers are going to win this thing. He’s probably right. But since my only shot at winning this thing is to pick opposite from him, that’s what I’m doing. Truth be told, I’m taking the Cardinals for a completely different reason. This week, SportsCenter was running this bit on how the Cardinals football franchise has the second longest championship drought (61 years) among the all the teams in the 4 major sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA). As you may or may not know, the Chicago Cubs rank #1 on that list with a century-long streak of ineptitude, bungling incompetence, and all around terribleness. As other teams win a championship and remove themselves from the list (as the Red Sox and White Sox have done recently), it’s just further salt in the wound of Cub Nation. So, Cards all the way, baby. Here are the rest of our picks:

Joshua’s pick: Steelers
Sunny’s pick: Cardinals
Jason’s pick: Cardinals
Abby Kate’s pick: Cardinals (I’m pretty sure she piggy-backed on my pick. Not that I mind.)

Looks like if things go our way, there’ll be a 3-way tie for the Bybee Pick ‘Em title this year. Otherwise, Joshua’s got this in the bag.
