OK everybody - Just when you thought it was safe to go online....he's back! The Football GroundHog with his annual stupid question.

I want to generate my SuperBowl SportsBox grid after the games tonight but I need to know if the AFC or the NFC has home field advantage in the SuperBowl game. Any help would be appreciated (again)!

Very truly yours - TFBGH (the football ground hog)

The NFC is home team this year as the AFC (New England Patriots) were home team last year.

I'm LMAO here - just checked the board to see who would be the first to ask this question (besides me!)...   &3

Steelers @ Cardinals - I like the Steelers!  %%

Put me down for the Steelers as well, their defense did a heck of a job on Baltimore and the rookie quarterback showed his lack of experience in these types of games. Baltimore gave them a run though and it was a great game.

On top of all that, I am in first place in the playoff pool, that is a rarity as well.

I'm also in first place in my Playoffs Pool by 6 points. Only 11 players in the pool, so it's not such a great feat. Using Java Junkie's Excel Playoffs Macros.

Steelers opened as a 6.5 point favorite.

Go Steelers!

The annual revisit to this topic -- the AFC is the Home Team in Super Bowl XLIV

Wow - You guys are good! I'm impressed.

I just logged in to 'pop' my annual question and there it was...the answer.

Good luck to everybody in all your Superbowl pools.

Since I don't plan on becoming any smarter over the next year, I'll talk to you all next year, same place, same time.

I must have been in "premonition mode" yesterday before the Jets-Colts game
