PLAYOFFS??!??!

yep, playoffs... even the seahawks made it...

I'm thinking we can do it the same way we did the NCAA Bowl game game... pardon me as I blatantly steal the rules from Vulchor...

Low risk relatively, but high reward for the winner and 2nd place. Here it is I will post all games for each week, everyone picks the winners of every game. Also, as a tie breaker, have to give the total points scored of the Super Bowl (and potentially the NFC Championship game should the need arise). Top 2 participants in the game decided by wins and tie-breaker if needed... win.

The winner gets a little pack of 3 cigars (although Im hoping people send more like 5-7) from 60% (the first 60% of people who sign up) of the people who lost. The 2nd place person gets a package from 40%. A winner could get a few dozen depending on how many participate and the MOST you could lose is 3 sticks or so (again, we're all generous, 5-7). I will give names of who sends to who after season is over. Its a nice long game with a good reward possibility and lots of chances to win.

Here is the Wild Card Round:
Jets @ Colts
Ravens @ Chiefs
Saints @ Seahawks
Packers @ Eagles

Games start this Saturday so get your picks posted by MIDNIGHT Pacific time on Friday...

Sound fair?

    Should the need arise, we will add in an additional tie breaker and it would be the combined scores of one of the NFC Championship Game... I'll add this to the original post

    +1 I bet it would have been a much different game if played in NO but Qwest field is probably the loudest stadium in the NFL right now. I remember it used to be Mile high. Not anymore...what a crazy game.

    ok... after a crazy week one we have a 5 way tie for the lead:

    t_evan50, robbyras, Vulchor, raschnuts and Krieg all got 2 right

    lilwing88, diamondog, redtailhawkoz, coachjamie, kingjk and poker slob all got 1

    few notes... NO ONE picked the Seahawks and only Diamondog picked the Jets (and if you watched the game you saw that they won in spite of themselves)

    so here are the matchups for week 2 and make sure you get your picks in by Midnight pacific time on Friday!

    Saturday: Ravens @ Steelers and Packers @ Falcons
    Sunday: Seahwaks @ Bears and Jets @ Patriots

    Will ANYONE pick the Seahawks? Are there any CLEAR favorites? Could you have asked for BETTER match-ups?

    As a Seattle resident, I was surprised as anyone when the Seahawks won. I guess the noise really is an advantage. I'm not a bandwagon fan by any means, but I am proud that they won the game.
