Monday Night Football!

My boyfriend and I did our individual pick sheet for this past weekend's NFL games. I'm always hoping that we have an odd number of games different that way there is no chance of a tie. This past Sunday we had an even number of games different. Meaning the chance of a tie was certainly possible. At the conclusion of the late afternoon games we were tied with no chance of breaking it, due to the fact we both picked the Colts to win the Sunday night game and the Saints to win on Monday night. To break the tie we decided to add a guess concerning the total amount of points scored in the Monday night game. He made his guess and I made mine.

I anxiously watched the Monday night game being particularly interested in the score. The last few minutes of the game were rather exciting. 49ers scored a touchdown and a 2 point conversion with a little more than a minute to go in regulation to tie the score. Then with seconds to go the Saints marched down the field to get their kicker in scoring position. On a windy night at Candlestick park the Saints kicker scored the winning field goal with just a few ticks left on the clock.

Now let me tell you what each of us guessed on the score. My boyfriend guessed 44 points as the total for both teams. I guessed 50 points. The final score was 25 to 22. The total obviously being 47. He was 3 numbers off and I was 3 numbers off. It's a tie! LOL!

I think it's hilarious that we tied. First we tied with our picks each missing the same exact amount of games. Then in an effort to break the tie we still end up tying somehow. LOL!
