Drum roll please: Jones Lang LaSalle honcho and NFL Hall of Fame QB Roger Staubach made his pick for the Super Bowl: the Baltimore Ravens. His methodology?Teams based in cities with higher office vacancies have won the Lombardi trophy 58% of the time since JLL started charting it. However, last year's winner didn't hold to the numbers when the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots. This year, the overall vacancy rate in San Francisco is at 11.8% compared to 15.5% in Baltimore. Personally, Roger says the stats favor Baltimore, thoughhe likes the 49ers' chances, too.
We're making homemade chili and queso and hitting Rosa's for some tortillas to go with it all. What's on your Super Bowl menu? Tonie@bisnow.com.
