Lord, Steer Clear of Scottsdale


So in case you hadn't heard, the Super Bowl is going on this Sunday in desolate beautiful Glendale, Arizona, just a wrap around the exciting 101 to TPC Scottsdale.

Yep, the FBR Open and Super Bowl are both going on in the same congested city at the same time during the same weekend. Lord, I thought the snowbirds slowed down traffic around Frank Lloyd Wright.

Anyway, since it is Super Bowl week and more money is put on teams than any other time of the year (lay the points, lay the points), I decided to throw together a line of some things to expect around Scottsdale at both the FBR and SB.

+120 - Chance you'll see a chick flash her chest around number 16 on Saturday
+180 - Chance Mickelson flashes his chest at some point during the weekend
+150 - Chance an ex-Wildcat or Sun Devil take home the trophy on Sunday
-330 - Chance Rory Sabbatini gives someone the bird trying to battle Scottsdale Road traffic
+1150 - Chance Fox interviews Will Leitch at some point during the telecast.
-220 - More people hit drives in the water on 17 at TPC than drive the green.
+850 - Chances a Florida Gator wins the FBR (yeah, that's right, we hate you Chris Dimarco).

Over/Unders
18.5 - People that are arrested Saturday at FBR.
20,000 - People that don't go out Saturday night after attending FBR because they are too hungover.
30.5 - average minutes you have to wait for those dumbass buses to take you back to your car outside of TPC.
1 - hole in ones on 16 all week.
550 - DUI's handed out by Scottsdale Police Department over the three day stretch.
3.5 - Amount of DUI's handed out to people that would be considered a household name.
8,500 - From this point forward, times ESPN says the word "Tom Brady's walking cast."

Enjoy the tourney.
