2010 NFL Over/Under Challenge - It's On

With the deadline for submissions having passed us by, it is time to pull back the Wizard of Oz curtain on all the soothsaying hopefuls and the picks that they believe will carry them to the promised land.  If you have entered the challenge, then the following knuckleheads (as represented by members of the Saved by the Bell cast) are your competition:

Tim Crvarich (Defending Champion) as A.C. Slater - After posting a perfect 6-0 record last season, Timmy C is the state wrestling champ that we are all longing to be.  Slater's Picks:

• Overs: Packers, Texans, Raiders
• Unders: Bears, Jaguars, Broncos

Adam Yannuzzi as Zack Morris - This slick-talker will get what he wants from you without you even knowing its happening.  Also thinks he's a bit cooler than he actually is.  Zack's Picks:

• Overs: Browns, Broncos, 49ers
• Unders: Rams, Chargers, Bears

John Yannuzzi as Principal Belding - The group elder tries to distribute advice and valuable life lessons but you'd be best served to just smile, nod and ignore what he says - just like with these following picks:

• Overs: Lions, Raiders, Bengals
• Unders: Panthers, Chargers, Seahawks

Kevin Pollock as Kelly Kapowski - On the surface, she's the All-American girl with all the right values.  Then she moves on to 90210 (or in KP's case: Thursday night) and we see just how bad the choices she makes can be:  Exhibit A: Kelly's Picks:

• Overs: Bears, Cardinals, Ravens
• Unders: 49ers, Chargers, Falcons

Mark Borton as Lisa Turtle - Talkative and trendy, Lisa just wants everyone to idolize her.  How else can you explain Borton's early adoption of Rollerblades in the mid-80s?  Little Lisa's Picks:

• Overs: 49ers, Dolphins, Chargers
• Unders: Cardinals, Texans, Steelers

Eric Burke as Screech Powers - Quiet and brainy, Screech is the nerd you never see coming until it's too late.  Just ask Lisa Turtle, uh, I mean Mark Borton.  Screech's Picks:

• Overs: Jets, Titans, Packers
• Unders: Bills, Chargers, Panthers

Craig Kadden as Mike Rogers (Bob Golic in the College Years) - An animated guy who loves to talk sports.  He comes to the group a bit late but that doesn't dampen his enthusiasm for participation.  Mike's Picks:

• Overs: Patriots, Packers, 49ers
• Unders: Jaguars, Bears, Broncos

Bobby Carini as Max (proprietor of "The Max") - This was the only character left that I could find a picture for so there wasn't much choice involved in this selection.  Hopefully Bobby's picks earn him a bit more respect than the photo below.

• Overs: 49ers, Ravens, Raiders
• Unders: Giants, Panthers, Cardinals

 
The Absolute Locks as Jessie Spano - The mental case who overestimates her talents and ends up dancing topless in Showgirls.  Enough said.  The Locks:

• Overs: Cardinals, Packers, Saints
• Unders: Buccaneers, Jaguars, Rams
