New England Patriots Defeat Seattle Seahawks in Pet Names Competition
Brea, California (PRWEB) January 28, 2015 -- This year’s Big Game has no clear favorite. Fresh off their first Super Bowl win in franchise history the Seahawks are looking to go back-to-back, while the Patriots are seeking to return the Vince Lombardi Trophy to New England after falling short in their last two appearances. While football analysts are focusing on each team’s defensive and offensive strengths to predict a winner, Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI), the nation’s first and largest provider of pet health insurance, has a much different way of forecasting a champion. VPI, a Nationwide company, analyzed its database of more than 525,000 insured pets to determine a victor based on pet name popularity. Below are the results:
Team (number of pets with that name in parentheses)
New England
Team Name: “Patriot” (13)
Quarterback: “Tom” Brady (594)
Head Coach: “Bill” Belichick (43)
Defensive Star: Darrelle “Revis” (9)
Legendary Player: “Tedy” Bruschi (1,598)
Mascot: “Pat” (4)
Total: 2,261
Seattle
Team Name: Sea “Hawk” (23)
Quarterback: Russell “Wilson” (307)
Head Coach: “Pete” Carroll (172)
Defensive Star: Richard “Sherman” (127)
Legendary Player: “Steve” Largent (82)
Mascot: “Blitz” (75)
Total: 786
According to “paw”pular opinion, the Patriots will emerge victorious in convincing fashion. The Seahawks will be no match for the pet loving communities’ support of Patriots’ quarterback "Tom" Brady and legendary great “Tedy” Bruschi.
As of late, VPI pet names have been a superb football indicator, correctly predicting the 2015 AFC and NFC championship games, as well as Ohio State’s College Football National Playoff Championship win.
