512 sounds too high.

The high soaring Eagles.

The 512 includes all the teams, even the ones that we know won't be there, like the Cardinals and Dolphins...

Patriots over Green Bay by 6

Wait, it's 496 combinations instead of 512, no?

C(32, 2) = 32 * 31 / 2 = 496.

The 512 number appears to come from 32*32/2, which assumes that each team can play itself in the Super Bowl. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's not going to happen.

Actually it's 256. There's going to be 1 of the 16 AFC teams and 1 of the 16 NFC teams at the Super Bowl. 16 * 16 = 256.

A football team from the NFL?

Da Bears

Look at this! Someone using their brain!!

Btw- Packers will make it back to the Big Show. And since some Pat's fan up above said by 6- GB over the Pat's by 7!

I'd sure like it if the Texans could put some kind of postseason run together this year.

patriots!

Patriots & Packers

As a loyal Broncos fan, I would feel guilty for not putting them here. But I'd feel a lot more honest about it if they hadn't dumped Tebow like so much garbage. I'm gonna say Patriots, because with a name like that, it's only 'Patriotic' to root for them, right? Now, I just have to hope that the Cardinals and a few other teams of that caliber make it to the play-offs, so that they can lose to the Broncos!

Patriots

So are you saying the Broncos had a better chance of going to the Super Bowl with Tebow over Manning? That doesn't sound like a loyal bronco fan, that sounds like a loyal Tebow fan.

I'm going to go out on a limb and put the Bengals name in here.

Pandas! I mean Panthers.

Pittsburgh and the team who will lose to them.

Giants again.

GO PACK GO! GO PACK GO! GO PACK GO!

Oh, and since I have to pick two teams, let's say the Patriots will be the AFC loser.

Well, it depends on *what* the poll is really asking. If they are really asking "Who's going to win", then there are only 32 possible answers. If "Patriots and Saints" is an acceptable answer, then 256 is the right number of combinations. If they are expecting a "Patriots over Saints" or "Saints over Patriots" answer, then there are 512 possible responses.

I couldn't vote for either option. Should have had at least a few matchups and then "other". But hey, I can be picky at times.
