Houserspawn(tm) Super Bowl Predictions

Here at Houserspawn(tm), we know how difficult it can be to find analysis and opinion on the Super Bowl in the weeks leading up to the game.

Well, look no further. After extensive research and painstaking study, the Houserspawn(tm) panel of experts is ready provide this service to our readers, and to make our fearless predictions public.

Me: I am no fan of the Giants, but I also have no desire to see the Patriots go 19-0. So for me, the fact that the Giants knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs tips my rooting interests slightly in favor of the Giants. I'm calling for Giants 31, Patriots 27.

Linda: Patriots 24, Giants 21

Ben: Patriots 5, Giants 3 ("And if the Patriots lose, I'm gonna scream.")

Zach: Patriots 37, Giants 22 ("Go Patriots!")

Phoebe: "I don't know. Who do you think will win?"
Dad: "I think the Giants will beat the Patriots."
Phoebe: "OK, I'll say... the Parakeets will win."
Dad: "What do you think the score will be?"
Phoebe (confused): "Huh? There is no squirrel!"
Dad: "Not the squirrel, the score. What will be the score to the game?"
Phoebe (more confused): "How would I know that?"

She has a point.

I read your dialogue with Phoebe out loud to my roommates and they LOVED it. That's so cute!

Did Ben scream?

As I recall, there was, in fact, much screaming from Ben that day. But none of it was a direct result of the Patriots losing.
