Re Safety:

Keeping the total score under 100 (to rule out ridiulous scores), what is the least likely final score in American footbal, and why?

1-0

no one-point plays except after td’s

4-2

For an actual game played 4-2. For a forfeit 1-0. There have been more forfeits than 4-2 games, hence my 4-2 pick. A 4-2 score requires three safeties to be made. A 6-0 game with three safeties can be equaled with a 6-0 game with one touchdown and a missed extra point. A 5-4 game would be the second least likely final score. My answer: least likely 4-2, second least likely 5-4, third least likely 4-0 (only requires two safeties).

My Super Bowl picks:

1) Colts
2) Colts
3) Yes
4) No
5) Who Dis (Colts 31-27)!
Tiebreaker) 58

Two people in our house will be happy after the Super Bowl is over. Either Roger or me because of the result and my wife because football season will be over. Baseball is just around the corner!

Football Forfeit Scores

From an Internet search:

NFL: 2-0
NCAA: 1-0
High School: 2-0

The question did not specify what level of football being played.

We have a winner!!!

Back when they allowed ties in the NFL, it was 4-4

...they still do...

Or did they change it after the McNabb game?

Opponents and date please!

I have been to two tie football games:

1968 High School: Foothill 14, El Modena 14 (Fred Kelly Stadium, Orange, California)
1973 NCAA: Oklahoma State 17, Nebraska 17 (Stillwater, Oklahoma)

Three safeties in one game? How about three safeties in ONE QUARTER? 9/30/84 Los Angeles Rams 33, New York Giants 12. The Rams recorded three safeties in the third quarter. The south endzone and yardage inside the 20 yard line were very soggy, muddy, and slippery in Anaheim Stadium that day. Somebody must of left the sprinklers on all night. We are talking September here! Three safeties for one team was an NFL record for one quarter, one half, one game and one season.

Evidence is please requested for your four (4) safety game.

Sean Payton?

Because I’m pretty sure Peyton Manning is going to throw 4 TDs today…

I think so cause he did say Payton and that is the only one I know on the field (not sure how he will do that though lol.
Yeah MVP Peyton Manning, so much for the 4 TDs...
