Wonder which of the two Super Bowl XLVI contenders -- the New York Giants and the New England Patriots -- your favorite celebrity picked to win? Well if hanging out on Twitter at different pages or on #superbowl to find out who's picking which team is more than your patience can handle, Scripps Howard has posted an extensive list of celebrity picks.
The list contains picks, including score forecasts, from a host of famous people. And they're not just actors, but sports and news personalities, writers, and entertainers of various sorts as well.
But since the world has been hearing about the picks from the sporting world, here's a selection from the rest:
Brad Pitt, actor: "Oooh, that's a tough one."
Those choosing the New England Patriots to win:
Don Rickles, comedian: New England, 28-14. "I love Eli Manning, but under pressure, I have to go with Tom Brady."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor/former California governor: New England, 31-24. "I can't pick against my neighbor, especially when he is playing at such a high level. Tom Brady will be the Super Bowl MVP.
Fred Willard, actor: New England, 32-20. "After what New England did to Denver, I don't think the Patriots and Tom Brady are stoppable."
Tom Scholz, rock star, Boston: New England, 27-24. "In Brady we trust -- Patriots by 3."
Adam West, actor, "Batman": New England, 21-17. "It will be close and wrenching. Brady is on a record-breaking super roll."
Those choosing the New York Giants to win:
Howie Mandel, TV host, "Mobbed": New York, 41-7. "Giants will mob the Patriots. I was just looking for a way to mention my show, "Mobbed."
Dylan Walsh, actor, "Unforgettable": New York, 20-17. "The Giants' defense will be the difference."
Haley Joel Osment, actor (picked 11 of the last 12 Super Bowl winners, missing only in 2008): New York Giants, 34-31. "It's just destined to be won at the last second by a field goal. I still beat myself up over my 2008 pick; I should have never doubted
my team!"
Andrew Dice Clay, comedian: New York, 31-21. "This is just my Brooklyn premonition. I don't follow sports that much, but I do like to watch the cheerleaders and you never know when you will ever get another wardrobe malfunction."
Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor: New York, 30-20. "The Giants clearly have a superior defense and their offense is more multidimensional."
San Diego Chicken, 2011 Super Sage Award winner (award given to those predicting winner and closest score): New York, 34-26. "Their offense has the best hands in football, Eli’s come of age, their defense is hyper-agile fast, and Giants coach (Tom) Coughlin always seems to stymie (Patriots coach Bill) Belichick, who has only one victory against a winning
team this year -- barely over Baltimore."
