Recapping C.H.A.D. Tres

Graded #porps:

The only one that seemed at all controversial was the Welker porp. I haven't seen a replay yet, but the one play in question (first play from scrimmage in 2H) didn't seem like a drop to me live, and Bodog graded "NO" as a winner, so I'm going with that. I'd put some more effort into it (maybe?), but it doesn't impact the eventual #chadTRES winner either way.

The Anthem (1:54) and Omaha (two!) unders crushed, but generally I think all these porps were reasonable, except for #teamWEATHER. And the forecast for the high on Sunday went from 37 to 46 the day after I posted these, so such is life. Everybody had the over, so it was just a matter of how many points you put on that particular #lock.

Anyway, here are the final standings:

Second by one point is always solid in a winner-take-all contest, IMO.

A truly impressive performance by @HidekiPatsui, who predicted each of his eight most confident porps correctly. Sounds like in real time he shipped the contest on this shot of Sad Eli, which is almost as appropriate a way to end the contest as the last relevant game in C.H.A.D. W10.

So, this was fun, and wraps up the 2013 C.H.A.D. football season. Go Jags.

C.H.A.D. TRES Ideas

I'm thinking we just have a bunch of Super Bowl props which are ~50/50, you have to pick each prop on the list and then assign a confidence rating between 1 and 12 (or whatever). Here's what I've come up with so far:

O/U on length of Anthem

O/U on how many time Peyton says Omaha

Will MVP be Peyton/Knowshon or other?

Some coin toss BS

O/U on temperature at kickoff

O/U on how many times Eli will be shown on TV (1.5)

Will Bruno Mars open with Grenade/Treasure or other?

Will Wes Welker drop a pass?

Shortest TD O/U (1.5 yds)

Will Sherman or DRC have a pick?

Will there be a missed FG?

Which kicker will score more points?

Please leave any other ideas in the comments.
