2nd Annual Super Bowl Prediction.

I did this last year for the Super Bowl (and totally called it by the way). And a few times before that with regular season games. (But those took too long. Thus, only doing it for the big game from now on.) And since the Super Bowl is coming up, it's time to make my prediction for the winner!

Now, if you were here last year and know how I do this, you can skip on ahead. Or continue reading for a fun recap of how I do things.

My mom used to get into the football pots at work. And while all of the guys would obviously pick according to team stats and such, my mom picked by team colors/uniforms/player's names/and the like. She actually won a couple of times. And that is my inspiration for this.

Except I chose by quarterback. Whether he is hot, has a cool name, takes pictures with stars of 90s tv shows (like last year's winner), whatever. I just do a Google image search of the quarterback of the team and go from there.

This year's contenders: Charlie Batch from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers.

I'm not gonna lie, I've pretty much already chosen the winner based on names solely. I'll get to that later. But, I'll give the other guy a chance and do the Google search anyway.

CHARLIE BATCH
Charlie Batch kinda looks like John Legend. Not gonna lie. He's got this cute smile thing going for him. And, he took his picture with Santa.


AARON RODGERS
Now, if this is a recent picture of Aaron Rodgers, he is in desperate need of a haircut.

But there were other pictures of him sans long hair, and he's aight I guess.


Now, here's the deal: remember how I said I had pretty much already chosen my winner based on their names alone? Well, Mr Batch didn't have much of a chance. Because my mother's maiden name is Rodgers. Spelled the same way and everything. Which leads me to believe that Aaron Rodgers and I could be long lost cousins. And how can I cheer against my cousin?! (Unless that cousin plays for the Bfield Bulldogs. But that's another story. And has never happened.)

In conclusion, Charlie Batch: Sorry about your bad luck. And Aaron: from cousin to cousin, go get a haircut. And good luck game day. Because I'm rooting for you.

**EDIT**: So, apparently I forgot about Ben Roethlisberger. Who also has a cool name. And is quarterback for the Steelers. I should do more research. Doesn't matter. Rodgers that!!
