NFL Playoffs pool

[Hewson]

OK...here's a playoff pool.
There are 12 playoff teams. You have to assign each team a value from 1 through 12, using each value only once. When a team wins, you get that many points. Of course when a team loses, you get nothing. This is tricky cause you hafta pick all 12 teams before the playoffs start. Essentially you want your SuperBowl winner to be your 12 team, but there is some strategy as teams playing wild card weekend potentially can play an extra game over bye teams if they reach the Super Bowl. Confused yet?

Anyway: the 12 teams in the playoffs are:
AFC: Patriots
Chiefs
Colts
Ravens
Titans
Broncos

NFC: Eagles
Rams
Panthers
Packers
Seahawks
Cowboys.

Tiebreaker will be total points scored in SuperBowl.

[zoney!]

I forgot to sign up.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

great game out of matt hasselback... really only made one mistake... and it came on the last play in ot. he played favre even the whole way.

headache goes to 3-0...

 

[Chizip]

u2me3 stole all my picks

even the tie breaker

damn stealer

 

[U2ME3]

u2me3 stole all my picks

even the tie breaker

damn stealer

this is true. came home from a night of drinking and copied and pasted your picks. thought it was funny at the time. was wondering when you would figure it out.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

well the broncos just looked insanely stupid... marvin harrison makes a diving catch in between three defenders. the defenders argue with each other over who had coverage, forgetting that the player isn't downed until someone touches him... marvin gets up and runs for a touchdown.

the play ain't over till the whistle's dead... looks like headache's going to 4-0... BRILLIANT!

 

[Chizip]

well now we are both screwed

i had broncos as big points

brilliant!!!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

that's a big 34 points for me... oooooooooohhh yea

 

[Pinball Wizard]

great game out of matt hasselback... really only made one mistake... and it came on the last play in ot. he played favre even the whole way.

That was my "wild card" pick... I figured Hasselbeck could do it. Damn it all.

Headache is my daddy.
He works people over.

cujo: 24 points.

Standings after week 1:
Headache 34
StlEleveation 33
Pinball Wiz 28
Elvis p 25
Hewson 25
Chizip 24
U2Me3 24 (remarkably tied with Chizip)

Remeber its a marathon, not a sprint...leading after week 1 is not necessarily the goal, ideally, your 1,2,3,and 4 are now eliminated, and the last thing you want is to have the pathetic Broncos as your 12. (Mike Shanahan will never learn...lats time he rested his starters in week 17 after clinching a playoff spot, his team got pasted on wildcard weekend, results were more embarassing this year...he should be fired.)

that's just something people with 25 points after the first week say

ideally, your 1,2,3,and 4 are now eliminated

Now if the two topseeded teams win at home next weekend, you go quickly from the penthouse to the outhouse

Thats why we don't celebrate after wildcard weekend

 

[U2Kitten]

Chizip that's what you get for doubting the Colts

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i woulda doubted the colts too... but i just didn't like the broncos enough. ya can't choke ALL the time... unless you're the red sox

and i have confidence in mr. favre for one more magical ride before getting smacked by the rams in the nfc title game...
pats-titans was a tough one for me, especially with the game being @ gillette... but my main man air mcnair's gonna lead me to the promised land...

bring it

 

[Hewson]

Air McNair and Eddie George are no doubt 2 of the toughest SOB's to ever play the game...but Tom "Cousin Oliver" Brady is the coolest QB under pressure since Joe Montana...Gonna be F'in cold (I mean real F'in cold) here Saturday night...big advantage for the home team, just ask the 'Phins and Jaggywars.

 

[popacrobat]

Pats will walk all over the Titans. Homefield, cold, rested.


They should wear their silver jerseys. They haven't even given up a point in the 2 games they've worn them.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

steve mcnair ain't a puy like those on the dolphins... the cold won't effect him as much... and rested can also mean rusted... doubt it with belichek, but ya never know...

the eagles-packers & pats-titans were very tough to call... so i just went with whatever team had the toughest s.o.b. on the field... steve mcnair and brett favre... titans & the packers... i could be wrong... probably will be... but i stand by my picks. and if i lose, i'll just pull a pete rose and claim i never made the bet for 12 years.

 

[Hewson]

I think those picks were called in from the Cincy clubhouse
