Justin Verlander already has a victory in 2012 even though the season hasn't even started. While the Giants were celebrating Sunday night with their second Super Bowl win over the Patriots in five years, Verlander was celebrating on Twitter over his prognostication that New York would beat New England with a 21-17 final score. Verlander's pick was part of the Scripps Howard Celebrity Super Bowl Poll. The news service annually asks a selection of pro athletes, entertainers, politicians and other celebrities for their predictions. The one who picks the winning team and comes closest to the final score is honored with the Super Sage Award, which is an actual trophy.
