Will any of these obscure things be true about Super Bowl XLIII?
Current forecast: Games ends and NONE of these things happened (46% chance
)
)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Games ends and NONE of these things happened with a probability of 46% (unchanged in last 1 day)
Background: Any of these occurring would be highly unusual but newsworthy.
1.) There has never been a Super Bowl game that went into overtime.
2.) There has only been one player for a losing team that earned MVP honors at the Super Bowl, it was Super Bowl V and the player was Chuck Howley of the Dallas Cowboys.
3.) Football prides itself on playing through ANY weather, but Florida can receive some severe weather from time to time, it would take something very substantial to interrupt this game but it will be played in an open stadium.
4.) Super Bowl tickets are notoriously difficult and expensive to get but anything is possible.
5.) Three times a wild card team has had to win three games on the road to make it to and then win the Super Bowl. Will it happen now a fourth time?
6.) The Browns, Jags, Texans, Lions, Saints and Cardinals have never made it to the Big Game.
7.) Will a wardrobe malfunction of a showcased performer during the pre-game, game, or half-time shows inadvertently reveal any body part that would normally be covered by a typical swimsuit? Chances are no.
8.) Will the originally scheduled half time entertainment NOT perform for ANY reason giving 48 hours notice or less? In other words, if a primary half time entertainer cancels at least 48 hours before kickoff then this would be NO.
9.) Will the winning team overcome a deficit of 25 points or more during the game?

so dominant last year that the defense rarely got the credit it deserved. It was fourth in the NFL in both total and scoring defense last season and should again be among the league leaders. We donāt believe New England will be dethroned this year

is time for me to get out my crystal ball and see if I can prognosticate the upcoming NFL season. As all of my friends can attest to I have never been totally right or wrong and I have never gotten the Super Bowl match-up or champion completely right.

The sixth answer should read "Browns, Jags..." instead of "Broncos...", but not a big deal. However, does one of those teams have to win, or just make an appearance?
Thank you yes, my apologies to John Elway and friends... should read Browns, not Broncos, and yes, for this option to win, they'd have to win, not just arrive.ould s yo
My one concern is what happens if two of the items listed occur. Outcomes should be mutually exclusive. If two of the items listed occur, the "Any combo" outcome would probably be the settlement but anyone who wagered on the individual outcomes which occur would argue that they should receive winnings.
That said however, I think it should stand for now and any difficulties can be dealt with if they do arise.
Thanks for the correction and recognition!
option 9 "any combination of above" is a valid prediction, and covers the mutual exclusivity you mentioned.
