HSBT

Participants,

First, congrats go out to Comeback Kid, who did come back to capture his 6th trophy in stunning fashion!  From worst to 1st, just as he had claimed last week!

Super Bowl 55 Recap
Well, to say the least this game was a real shocker!  The slightly favored Chiefs failed to score a TD for the 1st time since QB Mahomes was behind center.  That’s… 55 games.  And for the Bucs, well they made life miserable for the KC offense all night long.  The final score (31-9) was indicative of the game, and now we have Champa Bay (or should it be Tompa Bay?) as Super Bowl winners.

As The Commish had predicted in his update to all Participants late last week, the Bucs were going to win this game.  Based on several key facts, the prediction held up:

• KC was playing without its 2 starting offensive tackles, which opened up the floodgates for the Bucs dynamic defensive ends to put on the pressure
• A defensive strategy to double-team WR Tyreek Hill paid off handsomely
• The Chiefs hadn’t played against a team with that strong of a running game
• The G.O.A.T.

The Chiefs also didn’t help themselves, as they were penalized 11 times, many of them keeping Tampa Bay drives alive.  Bucs QB Brady was barely touched all game (did he get any grass stains on his jersey?), while Chiefs QB Mahomes was scrambling for life many, many times.

Kudos to the Bucs for winning the title for the 1st time in 18 years and for Brady winning his 7th ring.  Gronk (with 2 TD catches) has officially retired from being retired.

HSBT Final 2021 Standings
Does anyone listen to The Commish?  Well, 2 of you did and one of them walked away with the trophy.  Again, congrats to Comeback Kid for staging the largest comeback in HSBT history (356 points).  Immediately following his win for trophy #6, I had an opportunity ask him about this record-breaking effort.  “I knew I had to go big and for the Bucs if I had even a remote chance of a decent finish.  Never did I believe that I would go from the bottom to the top.  I’m sure glad I heeded The Commish’s advice on picking the Buccaneers.  Now I’m now ready to start my own dynasty and will be anxious to have the trophy in my hands very shortly.”

We set several new records during the playoffs and those will be published at a later date in the not too distant future, once they are confirmed.  As for the Participants, here are your final standings (and point totals) for the 2021 season:

• Comeback Kid (782 points) – A marvelous comeback from 356 points down to capture the trophy by 36 points.
• Buffalo Bill (746 points) – Another stinging finish that could have been avoided if he had picked the Bucs to win.
• 2021 Winner (718 points, good for the Bronze Chicken Wing) – Just fell short and probably would have won had Comeback Kid picked the Chiefs.
• Henrico FiveOh (643 points) – The 20-point effort in the Super Bowl was not good enough to catapult him into the winner’s circle.
• Pete the Terp (613 points, good for 5th place) – What a pick for the Super Bowl game (KC 10, Tampa Bay 6)! After the first score the game (Chiefs 3, Tampa Bay 0), he held the lead by over 1,000 points, just to see it slowly erode as the game continued.
• Ben the Butler (584 points) – Another consistent effort and it is good to have him back in action after a 2-year absence.
• Greg the Great (521 points, good for 7th place) – Not a stalwart year, but he had other things on his mind during the playoffs (like a sizable home remodeling effort and the arrival of their 4th child, daughter Keira!!) A great year for him, but not in the HSBT…
• JTB (497 points) – Way too many goose-eggs, including the Super Bowl game. Like a worn-out pair of shoes, he’s going to do some sole searching in the off-season.  He started out 6-0 after Super Wild Card Weekend and ended up 6-7.

Henrico FiveOh will be getting the trophy engraving updated then shipped to Comeback Kid as soon as possible.  I hope everyone had an enjoyable time participating in the 33rd edition of the HSBT.  Look for my updated stats and new records email.  Summer training camps are 5 short months away.

Until then I remain,

Participants,

Game time is getting closer and the noose is getting tighter around the necks of the leaders and other wannabe’s in the race for the coveted Hewes Super Bowl Trophy!

HSBT Facts

• 10 years ago – 2011 Winner captured his 2nd consecutive trophy with a narrow 19-point victory over Buffalo Bill. 3rd place finisher Comeback Kid was 3 points behind Buffalo Bill.  Beyond the incredibly close finish, this game will be remembered for 2 things – Pete the Terp forgot to submit his Super Bowl pick and National Anthem singer Christina Aguilera did not know the words to the song.
• 20 years ago – Henrico FiveOh, in 2nd place after the Conference Championship games, jumped ahead of leader Buffalo Bill with his Super Bowl pick, on his way to his 3rd Trophy
• 30 years ago – Clinging to a narrow 48-point lead after the Conference Championship games, Comeback Kid earned only 112 points with his Super Bowl pick and held off Buffalo Bill (who posted a goose-egg) to capture his 2nd trophy.  The game was played in Tampa.  Bills fans would like to forget this one…  someday…  please…
• The chance of winning the Trophy when you are the leader after the Conference Championship games – 50%
• The last time Tampa Bay was in the Super Bowl (2003), they won and it (over the Oakland Raiders). This was also Buffalo Bill’s last HSBT trophy.  Could it be?
• Most points in a Super Bowl game – 684 (Henrico FiveOh); nobody is mathematically eliminated!

Less Than 55 Super Bowl 55 Facts

• The Buccaneers will wear white jerseys and pewter pants. They had 1st choice and did not pick their home jersey.  The last game they lost, to Kansas City in Week 12 of the (anything but) regular season, they wore their traditional red home jerseys and lost.  They have won 3 playoff games in a row wearing the white jersey.
• In that 27-24 home loss to the Chiefs, the 2 quarterbacks combined for 807 passing yards – Mahomes threw for 462 yards while Brady was the slouch that day with only 345 yards. The 2 offenses combined for 960 total yards.
• #12 G.O.A.T., who is 43, will be the oldest player to appear in a Super Bowl.
• The National Chicken (not goat) Council says that 1.42 billion wings will be chomped on during the game. That’s 4.3 wings per US resident.
• Each team playing in the Super Bowl gets 108 footballs (all hand-made in Ohio). Of those, 54 are for practice and 54 are for the actual game. During a typical Super Bowl, 120 balls are used.  The additional ones are kicker footballs, used for all kicking plays.
• The most points scored in a Super Bowl game is 55.
• When If Tampa Bay wins, it will be the 7th Super Bowl trophy for #12 G.O.A.T. – more than any other team.

Super Bowl Game Analysis & Prediction
The Chiefs are going for their 2nd straight title, a rarely achieved feat.  The heavy underdog Buccaneers are hoping to continue their winning formula playing on their home field.

When the Chiefs Have the Ball
The Bucs don’t…  In their meeting during the (ir)regular season, Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill amassed over 200 receiving yards and 3 TD’s – in the 1st quarter!  The speedy and elusive WR is a “go all the way” threat every time he touches the ball.  TE Travis Kelce is another game-breaker and the best in the business at his position.  QB Patrick Mahomes (the #2 G.O.T.T. – Second Greatest Of This Time behind that superstar in western New York…) will need to be his best to avoid the massive Bucs pass rush behind a suspect offensive line.  Will the Chiefs inconsistent running game come to life or fall prey to the tough Tampa Bay LB’s?  How fast can the Chiefs score?

Edge – Chiefs, unless the Bucs get to Mahomes for 3 or more sacks

When the Buccaneers Have the Ball
The Chiefs don’t…  By a huge margin, this is the best arsenal that QB Brady has ever had at his disposal.  3 terrific WR’s (4 if Antonio Brown plays), 2 bruising RB’s who could easily put up over 100 yards each.  Gronk at TE.  How slow can the Bucs move the chains and keep long scoring drives alive?  Will Gronk make another TD pass to Brady in the Super Bowl?

The Chief D is suspect and inconsistent, but have a nose for turnovers.

Edge – Bucs, unless the Chiefs force more than 5 three-and-outs

The Commish’s Game Prediction
One last run for The G.O.A.T. – Tampa Bay 33, Kansas City 31

HSBT Thoughts (based on current position)

• Buffalo Bill – Why are the images in my rearview mirror getting larger? Am I slowing down or is everyone else going faster?  Or both.  Yikes!  This shirt with the size 12 neck is starting to really get tight…  Gotta stay with the Chiefs and hope I get that Super Bowl Bonus of 100 points if I’m going to be the first across the finish line
• Henrico FiveOh – Here we go, again! I’m right on the heels of Buffalo Bill (only a scant 31 points behind) and everything is feeling really good for my 9th trophy! I’ll catch Tom Brady!  Go Chiefs!  I hope nobody picks the Bucs…
• Greg the Great – I’m not going to settle for the Bronze Chicken Wing, but will enjoy my share (and then some) of wings during the game. Nobody will believe I’m getting a zero variance in the Super Bowl!  Just wait until the final score is posted and I’m in my trophy-winning post-game interview with The Commish!
• Pete the Terp – 4th place doesn’t even get you on the podium, so look out for my pick! I already have the 100 bonus points with the Chiefs convincing victory and I’ll be posting a zero variance score as I capture my 3rd trophy in 6 years!
• JTB – I had a taste of the trophy a few years ago and want more! Who cares if I’ve missed the last 6 picks and had the Saints for my Super Bowl Bonus pick, I’m getting this pick so fine-tuned they won’t believe how I came from 5th place to capture my 2nd trophy!
• 2021 Winner – The name says it all. Trophy #7 on the way!
• Ben the Butler – Hey, guys, thanks for competing this season! It’s really a great feeling to finally win the trophy after being on Injured Reserve the past 2 seasons.
• Comeback Kid – Did you ever expect me to go from worst to 1st in 1 little game? How about that!  You never guessed someone could actually comeback from 356 points behind, but my magical pick has reinforced my name!  Hello, trophy #6!

Those were mighty confident statements from the Participants during my final pre-game interviews with each of them!!

Needless to say, your picks are due no later than 6:30pm EST this Sunday.  Once the final pick is submitted the scores will be posted on our website under the Standings tab.

Slack will be humming at full throttle and real-time scoring updates will be made to ensure you have the best possible viewing enjoyment of the game.  Speaking of enjoyment, get that array of appetizers and other traditional Super Bowl healthy foods ready, be sure the frig is stocked with plenty of your favorite beverage, and settle in your comfy chair for 3+ hours of fun in Florida!

You may get an email from me immediately after the game announcing the winner of the trophy, to be followed up next week by the usual post-game wrap-up.

Until then, I remain

Participants,

Now that we have the Super Bowl matchup established, let’s take a look at the Conference Championship Games that were played Sunday.

#5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31, #1 Green Bay Packers 26
Guess who just won their 10th Conference Championship?  Guess who is playing in their 10th Super Bowl?  Yep, that’s right.  What an upset and road performance by Tampa Bay, who won 3 road playoff games in a row.  Their next game will be at home (for the 1st time in Super Bowl history!)

Tampa Bay scored often and early and took the frigid Wisconsin wind right out of Packers Skipper Aaron Rodgers’ sails.  The Pack fought back several times to get within 1 score of taking the lead, only to be frustrated by an INT (the Bucs had 3 of them) or missed opportunity.

Kudos to the Bucs for a solid game plan and not letting the elements impact their play on the field.  Back home to Tampa Bay for a home game on Feb 7!

HSBT Game Update – Greg the Great and JTB took shared honors with 99 points (lowest Conference Championship Game winning total since 2008), while a pair of goose-eggs were recorded.

#1 Kansas City Chiefs 38, #2 Buffalo Bills 24
The Bills started with a 9-point lead after the 1st Quarter (aided by a KC punt return fumble on the KC 3-yard line) and the Beef on ‘Weck was tasting mighty fine (more au jus, please!)  Could this be the 2nd road team victory of the day?  Unfortunately, the game has 3 more quarters, in which the Chiefs dominated with a combination of a speedy and dynamic offense and a blitzing D that got Bills QB (and their offense) out of synch all night.  The few valiant attempts at a late comeback were squelched, and the Chiefs ended up as AFC Champions (for the 2nd straight year) when all was said and done.  Back to Tampa for a rematch of the Week 12 game, where the Chiefs beat the Bucs at Raymond James Stadium, 27-24.  Tampa Bay has not lost a game since then.  Just saying…

HSBT Game Update – 2021 Winner and Ben the Butler took shared honors with 72 points (lowest Conference Championship Game winning total since 2002).

HSBT Update
PPP.  Pathetic Participant Picks.  Combined 1-15 for the weekend.  A miserable 737 totals points earned (a miniscule 92 per Participant).  Even the Participant who got the 1 game right (Pete the Terp with the KC over Buffalo pick – more on that in a bit), did not earn any Variance points.

So, with 1 HUGE game yet to be played, below are the current HSBT Standings.

• Buffalo Bill (654 points) – Holds on to the top spot by default, anchored by a 168-point showing over the weekend. He has the Chiefs as his Super Bowl Bonus pick (maybe he’ll request to change his name going forward to Kansas City).  Most recently, he was similarly positioned in both 2015 & 2016, only to end up just missing the Bronze Chicken Wing.
• Henrico FiveOh (623 points) – With a blistering 108-point performance, he has retained the overall #2 position, 31 points behind the current leader. He does have the lowest average variance for the season.
• Greg the Great (509 points) – Tied for the league-best with 135 points over the weekend and has catapulted into 3rd.
• Pete the Terp (505 points) – Is now in a great position to capture his 3rd trophy.  However, as a former Buffalo resident (and with his other favorite team hastily eliminated from the playoffs) why on earth did he pick the Chiefs to beat the Bills?  An allegiance check will be made during the off-season by THE Commish.
• JTB (497 points) – Matched Greg the Great’s weekend point total with 135 of his own, and now has a firm grip on 5th.
• 2021 Winner (486 points) – He has his “eyes on the prize” with only 1 game remaining. Everyone will be watching him closely over the next 2 weeks.
• Ben the Butler (476 points) – A poor weekend showing, just like all other Participants. Will need to refine his Super Bowl pick if he is to capture his very 1st trophy.
• Comeback Kid (298 points) – This was a very unkind weekend for him, as he “amassed” 21 total points to retain his firm grip on 8th place after 12 games. Is he going for the overall #1 draft pick?  We are envisioning his Super Bowl pick to be something like Tampa Bay 63, Kansas City 10…  He will most likely be in the spoiler role, but is still mathematically in it!

Thanks to all Participants for submitting your picks on time.  The Commish and his team will be sequestered (I guess “quarantined” is a more appropriate term these days) over the next several days, as we prepare to share with you the actual game score for SB55.

Until the SB55 Analysis and Prediction is published, I remain

Participants,

Reminder that your picks for both games are to be submitted no later than 3:00pm EST on Sunday (just before kickoff of the NFC Championship game).  So far, we have had a great year with everyone complying by the rules and deadlines.  Let’s keep that trending!

We have a pair of Week 6 rematches to determine who will play in SB 55.

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
#5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12-5) @ #1 Green Bay Packers (14-3)

Battle of the Bays!  The “old guns” will suit up for this classic game.  This is the 14th conference championship game for the GOAT (he won 9 of them, all with that team from the upper northeast US that failed miserably to make the playoffs this year) and the 1st home conference championship game for the other #12.  Welcome to Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood!  The Bucs handed the Pack their worst defeat of the season in the Week 6 game in Tampa, holding Green Bay to 10 points.

The Packers are favored by 6.5 this weekend, with 3 of those attributed to being the home team.  The forecast for kickoff is a balmy 20 degrees with a mild breeze.  Perfect tundra weather for hosting a team from Florida.  It’s been 10 years since the Packers won the Super Bowl, when they defeated the Steelers behind a solid QB performance by Aaron Rodgers.  The Buccaneers have not played in a Super Bowl since 2003 (when they beat the Raiders).

GB QB Rodgers has been surgical this season, leading the NFL in literally every efficiency stat.  TB QB Brady started slow in his new environs, but the team has been coming on strong over the last 6 weeks.

Some Things to Ponder Before Making Your Pick:

• Can anyone stop the NFL’s top-rated offense?
• Can anyone stop the NFL’s top-rated offense?
• Can anyone stop the NFL’s top-rated offense?

After 54 years, will the Super Bowl finally be played on a team’s home field?  Not.

Green Bay 34, Tampa Bay 22

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP
#2 Buffalo Bills (15-3) @ #1 Kansas City Chiefs (15-2)

The “young guns” are taking center stage and 2 of the very best will be showcasing their aerial and ground talents.  How’s Mahomes’ compressed nerve?  More importantly, how are the nerves of those Bills fans?  The last time these 2 teams met in the AFC Championship game in 1994, the Bills clobbered the Chiefs, 30-13.  In their more recent Week 6 tilt, the visiting Chiefs beat the Bills and you gotta Bill-lieve that Buffalo wants to return the favor Sunday night.

Some Things to Ponder Before Making Your Pick:

• The Chiefs may be at full strength on offense, with 2 key players returning who missed the game last week.
• Who do the Bills target to stop or limit when the Chiefs have the ball?
• Are the Bills destined? A poor running game has spelled playoff success in the past for other teams that made it to the Super Bowl

The Bills will play their best game of the season on both offense and defense and advance to Tampa Bay in 2 weeks!  Comeback Kid makes an appointment to get fingernail implants after this game.

Buffalo 31, Kansas City 30 (as Bills rookie K Tyler kicks some Bass for the winner with 0:19 left in the game!)

HSBT UPDATE
Now that it’s getting down to serious business in the HSBT, the picks are becoming harder and harder.  Only 275 miniscule points separate the leader from the basement dweller and the fragile lead can evaporate in a hurry.  So, what is on each Participant’s mind heading into the Conference Championship games?

Historically, the leader at this juncture has gone on to capture the trophy only 8 times in 32 tries.

• Buffalo Bill – Was the solid leader a year ago at this juncture and missed the overall Bronze Chicken Wing by 66 points. And, he’s a stout Bills fan (but maybe not yet a member of the Bills Mafia).  Looking to end a 17-year drought with some spot-on picks this weekend.  The pressure starts to build.  Can he hang on to win trophy #4?
• Henrico FiveOh – Visions of a 3-peat are dancing through his head. Just 3 more good picks and he might just make it!  But will those picks be good enough?  Will he be wearing his vintage head-to-toes Bills logo wear this weekend?  Time to look in the rearview mirror and see who’s catching up!
• Pete the Terp – No need to worry about the Ravens playoff fortunes any longer, so that will free up his picks in hopes of securing his 3rd.  Has Kansas City for his Super Bowl Bonus pick, along with Buffalo Bill.  Too bad that will result in zero extra points.  He’s sporting a new street sign on his fireplace mantle – Bills Blvd.!
• 2021 Winner – All eyes will be on his picks, as Vegas has him moving into a comfortable lead after this weekend . On his way to cruising trophy #7.
• Greg the Great – Has finally worked off all the rust from the past 2 weekends and feels he is primed to head to the top spot. He’s not a big fan of Mr. Discount Double Check, so it will be interesting to see his NFC game pick.
• JTB – Had intentionally been playing off the radar last week as he prepares for the onslaught to begin this weekend. He needs it and will be chasing points.  Some doozy picks are in store for him.  Started out 6-0, and then went 0-4 last weekend (with a pair of goose-eggs).  What will this this weekend bring?
• Ben the Butler – A model of consistency this year in his return from a 2-year hiatus. This is the time to get serious, however.  The only one with the Pack winning it all.  They have looked very tough to date.  Look for at least 1 surprise pick based on his philosophy of picks so far.
• Comeback Kid – Speaking of doozy picks, it’s now or never for him as we enter the stretch run. But, as his name indicates, he is primed to score big this weekend and plans to not only close the gap, but to take a commanding lead.  He came back all the way from worst at this point to first in 1993.  Look out!

Please be sure to submit your picks no later than 3:00pm EST on Sunday.  The Commish will be updating the game scores real-time and Slack will be dominating the social media airwaves.  Also – be sure to stock up on your favorite foods for the big games.  It will be 7 hours of viewing and eating enjoyment.

DIVISIONAL ROUND RE-CAP & HSBT UPDATE

Before starting the Divisional Round Re-Cap, I would be remiss not to mention that in the 6 Super Wild Card Weekend games, JTB recorded an undefeated slate by picking all 6 game winners.  Yep, 6-0.  Great start (but with a “minor” correction this past weekend)!

Three.  3.  The biggest number of the weekend?

• 3 of the 4 favored teams won (at home)
• The 3 very best “old guard” QB’s were showcased over the weekend – Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Their combined uniform numbers totals 33
• More than 3 missed FG’s
• Ravens potent offense held to how many points?  3
• Number of consecutive home playoff losses by the Aints climbs to 3
• Number of consecutive home AFC Championship games to be played in Kansas City to a record 3

DIVISIONAL ROUND RE-CAP
#1 Green Bay Packers 32, #5 LA Rams 18
A healthy Aaron vs. a banged up Aaron.  Great offense beats great defense. The Packers offense steamrolled the NFL’s No. 1-ranked defense (too bad all-world DT Aaron Donald was not at 100%).  The Rams D had smothered opponents all season by inviting them to run, avoiding giving up the big plays and daring offenses to dink and dunk their way down the field, betting most offenses would get impatient.  Most can’t play that style.  Aaron Rodgers can and did at Lambeau in the weekend opener.  It was a beautiful, balanced offensive performance by the NFC’s #1 seed.

The Rams played better Goff-ense, but it wasn’t their day in the frozen tundra (where QB Jared is now 1-3 when the game time temp is less than 33).

An extra day for rest and game prep bodes well for next Sunday’s clash.

HSBT Update – As in Super Wild Card Weekend, 2021 Winner gets off to a good start and leads the way with 97 points (anchored by a season low variance of 3 paltry points)

#2 Buffalo Bills 17, #5 Baltimore Ravens 3
A thriller, capped off by a 101-yard Pick 6 by the Bills in Quarter 3!  Josh Allen (1 of 3 legitimate contenders for league MVP) tossed another TD to WR Stefon Diggs – a 3-yarder.  The Bills D came up huge, resulting in three 3-and-out’s by the Ravens.

HSBT Update – Pete the Terp (one of 2 Participants to pick the Ravens to win), picks a low game score and walks away with 142 points.  He would have rather walked away with a Ravens win.

#1 Kansas City Chiefs 22, #6 Cleveland Browns 17
Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid was 3-0 vs. the Browns before kickoff of the Sunday starter game (roughly a 3pm kickoff).  The stripes were not kind to Cleveland all day and cost them a minimum of 3 points (and most likely 10).  KC QB Mahomes suffered a concussion and his status for next weekend is up in the air right now.

The game played a lot tighter than predicted.  Kudos to the Browns.

HSBT Update – Pete the Terp earns the most points once again, with 101.  Is the Divisional Round points record (422 in 2014 by Henrico FiveOh) in jeopardy?

#5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30, #2 New Orleans Aints 20
The “over-40” QB game became a disappointment for the Aints Drew Brees, who might have played his last NFL game, as he tossed 3 picks in another bitter home playoff loss.  The Bucs Brady accounts for 3 TD’s (2 by air – 1 being a 3-yd strike – and 1 by land) and K Ryan Succop goes 3-for-3 on FG’s and 3-for-3 on Extra Points.

In this, the 3rd game of the season between these 2 NFC South rivals, the Aints did not go marching on to win #3.

HSBT Update – Buffalo Bill chalks up the most points, with 187, anchored by a game variance of 3.

HSBT UPDATE
After 10 games and with only 3 to go (representing over 55% of the remaining points to be earned), the standings look like this:

• Buffalo Bill – Came on strong Sunday to capture the lead with 552 points (and a nifty 9-1 record so far)
• Henrico FiveOh – Retains his 2^nd place position with another strong weekend showing (1 of 4 Participants to go 4-0 over the weekend) and 515 points
• Pete the Terp – Currently positioned to capture the Bronze Chicken Wing, with 455 points. That final Sunday game goose-egg hurt
• 2021 Winner – Beginning to make his move, with a total of 414 points
• Greg the Great – Leader in a close group of 3, with 374 points. Like Pete the Terp, that goose-egg on Sunday night hurts
• A tie for 6th place between Ben the Butler and JTB, both with a total of 362 points. JTB did not have a good weekend, with an 0-4 record and 72 points (and a pair of goose-eggs).  Look for him to reverse that next weekend.  Ben the Butler has remained steady with a nice 4-0 weekend (8-2 overall)
• Comeback Kid – Better start going, with 277 points. And he another Bills game to ponder this weekend.  Not our of it mathematically, but will need a very strong showing on Sunday

2 huge games this coming weekend and The Commish and his team will be busy in our never-ending quest to provide you with the best and most informative information to help you with your game picks.

Until my Conference Championship games analysis and predictions later in the week, I remain,
