Needed a Seahawks field goal

I needed 3 more points from Seattle in the Super Bowl to win $200 with a final score of 21 - 13 in my company board game, where I had the 1 and 3. All they had to do was try an attempt once they got down near the 35 yard line. They needed two scores to tie, so why not get the field goal first? Even John Madden commentated that they should kick now when they had about a minute left. I guess fate was not on my side, just as it wasn't the year before. Last year I needed a rare safety by New England to give the Patriots 26 points (they finished with 24). To my surprise, it almost happened, as McNabb just got away from a sack in the end zone during the final minute of the game. Then the score would have been 26-21 and I had the 6 and 1 on the board. So this year the final was 21 - 10, and again I was snuffed out of the big prize. Oh well, there's always next year!
