Super Bowl Predictor?

Based on this pack, the Los Angeles Rams win.  Why? There were two Rams (Robert Woods, Ndamukong Suh) vs. just one Patriot (Braxton Berrios).

What's Buzz-worthy: Buzz is a big fan of simple and traditional cardboard with the total package of info, a good amount of inserts and some hit potential, This brand isn't that flashy, but it includes those things. The reason you see this pack here? I wanted to let the Cardboard Gods predict the Super Bowl winner based on the contents of a pack picked up earlier this afternoon. ... This was my first look at this brand this year -- I just never picked any up -- but it's one I might revisit on the hobby front (or the mega box) at some point based on this first taste. I'll save the details about this one for that later time ... this one was all about a Super Bowl pick. Is it game-time yet?

Product Grade: B+
Box Grade: A- (Jackson feels like a highlight RC along with some inserts)
Fun Grade: B
