Dear chumps and chumpettes,

Once again the NFL playoffs are upon us, and with it the annual Interference NFL playoff pool.

To each of the playoff teams assign a unique integer between 1 and 12. Every time a team wins a game, you get that many points. Highest score after the Super Bowl wins. First tiebreaker is the total number of points scored in the Super Bowl. Second tiebreaker is time of entry (earlier wins).

THE FIELD:

AFC:

1. New England Patriots (13-3), 458 PF (28.6/g), 296 PA (18.5/g)

Will make my picks after considering Dave's picks (and changing one value).

Jk, you should all wait for me to make my picks, and then do the opposite.

I am going to finish on the ESPN 99th percentile for college pick'em, but I noticed that someone in my pool is going to finish with a pick em so bad that if you took his picks and did every one opposite of his, you'd finish with one of the best brackets in the tournament (off by 2). That's so impressively bad, I aspire to achieve such greatness.

wrong team. you're thinking of washington.

Yeah I wouldn't say that nickname is super racist. They don't even have any offensive iconography as I recall.

So what's the record for most points in this thing?

And least (probably me)?

Not sure what the high score was. But the low...well, let's just say that one of our playoff pool regulars is very fond of unorthodox, high-risk strategies.

Somehow I feel like I remembered last year ending with the asterisk of being the highest scoring.

Anyways Dave, I'm coming for you. 1/DaveC = my score.
