I'm going to take a risk on who I would like to see win. :)


EDIT: I'm doing this right, right? The ordering doesn't matter for 1-4, 5-8, and 9 - 10 doesn't matter, does it?

EDIT 2: List is fixed.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

It does, sorry if I didn't make that clear. When a team wins you receive that many number of points, so you want to rank all the teams purposefully, basically from your Superbowl winner (12) to your sure-bet wildcard loser (1).

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Right, but if I think 1 - 4 will all lose, then the order of them doesn't matter, right? Same with 5 - 8 and 9 - 10, I'm essentially just picking groups of losers.

edit: nevermind, I was being dumb, I see how it works. :) I'll fix them tomorrow, too sleepy right now.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Eh, I have no idea. This has been the strangest year of football in a long time with a lot of upsets and a good mixture of quality and below-average play from just about every team.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

We all seem to have a lot of faith in Pete Carroll's 7-9 Seattle Seahawks...

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Being a relatively large fan, it breaks my heart to rank the Seahawks anything other than 12th - but logic dictates that since they only got 7 wins in the season, they probably won't get 4 in the playoffs. And I just ranked the Saints low because they're most likely going to decimate Seattle, and I'm a preemptive sore loser.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

As of half time :lolz:

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Who went and resurrected Matt Hasselbeck's career?

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

An injured, over-rated, fluke-winning Superbowl team. :p

I expected the Saints to get pounded in round two of the playoffs, so this is not as shocking as it seems.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

On the plus side, at least you all picked the wrong team so no one is losing yet :p

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Wow, can't believe that. :o

The Saints have been kind of off all year, but I didn't see any way Seattle would win that.

Just goes to show, any given Sunday.

Or Saturday.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I was so pumped the Seahawks won.
So pumped.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Well, I did almost as poorly as one could today...

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Bond, your fan status aside, you do know the Packers aren't going very far, right? No running game, and Rodgers is one hit away from taking the short bus home.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Fan status aside, I actually think this team has good potential to go far in the playoffs. We have a top five defense, an excellent quarterback and receiving core, and a potentially good-to-great running back in James Starks. We can beat any NFC playoff team, although it will be difficult to get past the Falcons in Atlanta.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

That's if they get past the Eagles. I bet that they would, but the momentum may be changing. I'd love to have bet wrong.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

A victory for canines everywhere!

9. Jason1 - 14
10. Vampyr - 10

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I got -every- pick wrong. Wow.

At least I didn't have any of them winning again.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I read a report that David Akers is apparently going through some personal family matters that may have contributed to his two missed field goals last night. Kind of a sad way to end his career if that was his last game with the Eagles.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Yeah, read about that too. I was kind of shocked to hear him say "not how I wanted to end my career with Philadelphia" in his news conference. I don't think anyone on the Eagles or the fan base wants him gone. One bad game doesn't make a career, especially if he was battling a personal issue (although that shouldn't be an excuse.) He should have put six more points on the board yesterday, but he's still probably the most consistent kicker in Eagles history.

Oh, and I'm just glad my dad, a diehard Packers fan who went to the game yesterday, didn't rub it in too much. Although it was probably fun being in that stadium yesterday as the enemy. Looking forward to another season with Andy "I've got to do a better job" Reid!

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

One of those field goals he was totally within his rights to miss. It was 50+ yards in terrible wind.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

It was actually only 41, but yeah, the wind was bad. He had the distance on that one, but just pushed it too much. I don't blame him for that one as much, but it would have been nice to start that game up 3-0.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

The Packers are doing it again.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

The Pack is Back.


Standings:

1. Bond - 44

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

I'm guessing everyone has bears over seahawks.. lmao

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

What a weiiiiiiiiiiiird season! Jeez!

But congrats to the Pack. They played an awesome game, and although I predicted the Falcons would advance the furthest in the NFC playoffs it was nice to see their vanilla/consistent gameplay get rocked by the Packers.

I honestly expect a great game with the Packers vs. Bears next week. I would be okay to see either team advance to the Superbowl because I have always been quite impressed with Rodgers and it would make for an offensive Superbowl. He is an awesome hick-douche. I still maintain that the Bears are in over their head a bit, but nevertheless.....

Now let's just see a Jets win.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Crow, I eat thee. Rodgers is walking on water right now.

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Only the second playoff meeting between the Packers and Bears. Crazy.

1. Acebot44 - 57

7. Vampyr - 39
9. KillerGremlin - 38
10. Jason1 - 36

Re: NFL Playoff Pick'em
 

Ah, but it is the rivalry in the NFL. As far as I am concerned, next week's playoff games are more exciting than the Superbowl will likely be. At least as a Chicago-native. I'm pretty pumped. And like I said, at the end of the day it is a win-win because the Packers are one of the most exciting teams this year, and it would be fun to see Rodgers go to the Championship. At the same time, I can always get behind my home team going to the Superbowl (even though I maintain the Bears are still in over their head. :lol: ).
