"Cheese-Head" vs "CheeseSteak-Head" Giveaway!!

A reply to Bruce on another post gave me an idea..................

I didn't want to hijack the other thread, so I'm throwing down the gauntlet here!!

Sunday night, the team favored by "CheeseSteak-Heads" (the Iggles, as we call them) take on the team supported by Bruce and other "Cheese-Heads" (the Packers).image

I think a Giveaway is called for here!image


I am giving away a Bulgaria KM #2 1881 (Heaton) 5-stotinki in what I would estimate to be in F-VF condition. ( I REALLY ned to hook up my scanner again someday!!)



The winner will be the one who guesses closest to the final score for the CORRECT WINNING TEAM. I will resort to a "total points" tie-breaker , if need be, which will take into account the losing team's score. Over or Under the winning team's final score is ok - - just the closest to. (Hope I'm not confusing anyone).

So I need:

(1) Winning Team (Packers or Eagles)
(2) Final Score (although I'll just look at winning team score to determine, unless tie-breaker's needed)
(3) Total points (which I will be able to compute based on your response to #2)

So, the gauntlet has been laid down!

WHO will step up to the challenge??


- - Dave


P.S. : Entry cut-off will be Sunday at 3:30pm, Eastern time zone (hopefully, I will be able to post a "that's it" entry into this thread after which no late-guessers will be accepted).

P.P.S: Any GREEN BAY fans interested in the name of a good contest in sweetening the pot for the winner??

    Nah, it'll prolly wind up around 28-20 Philly.

    I should have known that this was a GB-Philly thing before I opened it. It should be a great game...

    I'll go with the Packers 23-17.

    I know what you mean about the cheesesteaks, when living in NY occasionally my friends and I would drive to Philly for lunch. Mmmmmm.

    HEY!! Voting is starting to turn a bit lopsided in favor of G.B.!!image

    coinkat & wallstreetman...... do you want to enter? Need scores!


    wallstreetman...... do you get your winnings (IF you win) AFTER deducting expenses to send your friend to Vegas?image There IS a little thing known as OTB, isn't there? Or is that just for horses?

    Et tu, NJMark1??imageimage

    Looks like the consensus is heavily against the Iggles for tonight (13-3 as of 45 minutes to go till cut-off time).image

    I hope my giveaway comes down to just a 3-way contest between the Eagles supporters!!

    Just 45 minutes to go!.............................
  • DBSTrader2DBSTrader2 Posts: 3,485 ✭✭✭✭
    OK.... Everyone else must be watching the exciting KC-Indy finale, so CONTEST is now CLOSED!!!!! Final ratio is 13-3 fans in favor of Green Bay.



    I hope they're wrong!!image

    U - N - B - E - L - I - E - V - A - B - L - E !!!!!!!!!!


    I ACTUALLY TURNED TO MY WIFE AS G.B. TOOK POSSESSION IN O.T. & SAID "FARVE'S RIPE FOR A PICK!!"

    I GUESS WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT!! image


    B R I N G____ O N____ C A R O L I N A !!image



    So.................... with the final score 20-17 IGGLES........................

    Only 3 people made the drawing!


    Spoon had 28-20 Iggles
    tlhoy had 24-17 Iggles
    Civitas had 34-17 Iggles.

    So the closest to the Iggles' score (as well as the actual final score & total points - - which I am thankful for, so I don't have to do any convoluted tie-breakers), and therefore the winner for this round's giveaway is.......................

    tlhoy !!! image



    HOWEVER.................................. in gratitude for their support in the face of overwhelming, lopsided opposition from Green Bay fans, supporters, or believers in "destiny".....................

    I will award special status to both spoon & civitas in NEXT week's giveaway!!
    As long as at least ONE pick is in the Eagles' favor, each will get TWO shots at predicting the outcome of the game against Carolina!! image


    Thanks for playing! And thanks to the Packers for playing soft on 4th and 26!!!imageimageimage



    tlhoy , please PM me with your addy!
