    Since both HEAD's and My pick were submitted at the exact same time, we split the winnings $$$ (should Buddha win);)

    You could go to Sam Houston Race Park to make a killing...errr...place a bet(s). They will be simulcasting the race. There are several places to bet online, most cost money, and when you win, it takes forever to recieve your winnings.

    I'm going with the patriotic choice. The Patriots bewildered and captured the hearts of Americans by winning the Super Bowl. I think Proud Citizen will do the same. Patriotism rules.
