Numbers bolded and italicized were within five units of the actual result. Numbers with a red background were exactly correct.
Overall, the guesses were pretty close. We knew what we were getting out of our third baseman. We had six exactly correct guesses, which is one of the better results we've seen with the community projections.
Despite all the close guesses, we'll give the victory to drabidea. Your winnings: the best Super Bowl commercial of the night.

That really was a cute commercial.
Galactus does as he pleases. Because Galactus is drunk.

Cute, yes
But I’d like the next clip to be some of the hilarious Doritos commercials. Those took the cake, IMO
I preferred the chicken one by Denny's, personally.
Screaming Chickens = Comedy Gold.

I like the Youk picture, I think his glove is on fire
I am on a roll this year with the prediction.
I really liked that commercial but it seemed weird that Google would advertise for their search engine. Who doesn’t know about google by now?
I'm not entirely sure how ANY websites make large profits.
I guess if everyone loves the commercial it creates buzz and their stock goes up?

Websites keep track of how many people visit
and present that information to advertisers. If a company like Google can show that millions of people visit their site everyday, advertising space on that site becomes very valuable. Google gets a lot of money from those “sponsored links.”
You mean the ones that no one clicks?

Good catch
Fixed.
