Yes, the big game is on Sunday. Now, for sure, for close to 80 years, Habig & Magoon Insurance Agency has been based in either Brockton or Easton, MA - and the people and places and property we insure are almost all located in southeastern New England.

So you just have to know that Habig & Magoon, our employees, our customers ..are just almost exclusively all about rooting for the Pats.

Now, of course, the NFL and the Super Bowl are massive money-making enterprises and franchises.

The insurance industry does considerable business with the NFL and its yearly most high-profile event. Coaches are insured, players are insured, stadiums are insured, practice facilities are insured ... and it goes on and on.  Everyone and everything is insured.

Big money investments need to be protected.

Curiously, though, it seems that most NFL players don't buy disability insurance.  As CBS News reported in a story that ran last May, a primary reason for this is the high cost of the premiums.

Well, insurance is our business - and we just knew we could find an interesting insurance angle connected to this year's Super Bowl. And we did.

Come to find out, Insurance Journal has developed a 2015 Super Bowl prediction poll for property/casualty insurance professionals, in which various scenarios are proposed, and the professionals are to vote whether or not they will happen.

Among the scenarios posed are the following:

The combined score of the game will be within 10 points of the number of syndicates at Lloyd's.

The Patriots' longest pass completion to Gronkowski will equal the total minutes of the game's TV commercials starring Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.

The Seahawks will cause more turnovers than Fireman's Fund had CEOs in 2013 and 2014.

TV ad revenues for the game will exceed 5% of total P/C net premiums written in 2014.

For sure, these predictions are those for which property/casualty pros are well qualified to make.

Your wrist problem may be a misalignment of one or more joints in your neck, shoulder, elbow or wrist.

Chiropractic techniques that work so well with the spine can be applied to other joints of the body. Virtually every joint is susceptible to fixations and malfunctions that impair function and range of motion. Trauma, micro-traumas, vibrations and repetitive motions are often culprits.

It just makes sense to take the more conservative approach first: chiropractic first, drugs second and surgery last!

4th Grade Finalists: Brendan Gallivan, Jaiden Lee-Andrews, Stephen Nardelli
5th Grade Finalists: Landon Bailey, Maddie Bain, Matt Outerbridge

"We had a great bee today!" said sixth grade teacher Anna Mills. "I have taught Geography for eight years and hosted the Geography Bee for the past seven years," said Mills. "There were lots of challenging questions-some whose answers I didn't even know-and I am so proud of all of the finalists who did their best and worked hard to get there." "I went to all the study sessions with Mrs. Mills," said Matt Outerbridge, "and it felt good to be a finalist."
 

Brendan Gallivan found the experience a little stressful, saying "it was hard for me to concentrate because I knew people where watching me." He added that it felt good to be a finalist, saying "I was proud of myself!"

Landon Bailey said he studied maps and landforms to prepare for the Geo Bee competition. "It was an honor to be a finalist and felt great," said Bailey. "It was not that nerve-wracking, but it was different to have 300 sets of eyes on me," said Bailey.

Finalist Maddie Bain said she used the GeoBee website to prepare, adding "it was difficult remembering the rivers."

"It takes a lot of guts to get up in front of the whole school and answer questions that challenging," said Mills, who congratulated all finalists for the dedication and hard work.

 

The Results:

3rd place: Jenna Caporella

 

"I cheer for all of the contestants but it was nice to see Paul win," said Mills. "This was his third time competing in the Howard School Geography Bee, and though he has qualified every year, Jefferson Roberts had won in previous years," said Mills. "Paul has studied hard over the past three years to win today."

 

Paul McCafferty will be taking the qualifying test next week and the West Bridgewater staff will know by the end of March if he will proceed to the state competition.

"I would like to say thank you to everyone in the West Bridgewater community who has supported our finalists and the Geography Bee!" said Mills. "I still want to get West Bridgewater on the map and make it to state championship and then nationals," said Mills. "We can do it, or should I say he can do it! Good Luck Paul! Go Wildcats!"
