2022 NFL Playoff Pick'em - 14 Integers to Glory

[DaveC]

i am not a fan of knowing the possible outcomes this early because for me it ruins a lot of the anticipation and fun. i prefer to find out what happened to the scores and standings when i update the spreadsheet after each game ends. i really would not like to find out after week 1 of 4 that i'm already essentially eliminated, or that somebody already has a 90% chance of winning or something like that, even if that really is the case, for me it would kill the fun of doing this.

i'm not your boss or a forum mod though, so if people really want to see the outcomes already then i'm not going to stop you from posting them.

 

[the tourist]

I agree with DaveC.

 

[bono_212]

[LuckyNumber7]

I’ve got the goods

Spoiler

or do I

 

[U2inUtah]

Wow I'm still in first huh. my only strategy was to put the two teams with the best chance to win four games at #1 and #2. Just lucky otherwise. We'll see how this plays out. KC winning it all is still probably my only path to glory.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Haha nah you’ve got avenues, it’s the rest of us who need intricate paths right now…

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I will say, lots of people can still win, but if TB or GB would’ve won their games, the board would look very different right now.

 

[U2inUtah]

Haha nah you’ve got avenues, it’s the rest of us who need intricate paths right now…

Went back and looked, I didn't realize I put SF and Cincy so high. Gotta say I'm pretty proud of those picks so far lol. I actually think Rams will win it all so that might screw me.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

What is my path to victory? I'm good with a spoiler at this point.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I'm in favor of scenarios being posted at this point

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I have the goods

Spoiler

I lied a little bit. You’re mostly all eliminated. Though admittedly I thought there were still four ponies in this race. It’s just three now.

Spoiler

I’m too lazy to sign on on my laptop so this is the best you’re getting.


If the Rams win the superb owl in any way, Headache wins. (2 stakes)
If Cincinnati explicitly beats the Rams in the superb owl, I win. spicy drama!! (1 stake)
If literally anything else happens, U2 is going to Utah (5 stakes).

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Wawawewa

Well well well, we have a showdown

Headache vs LN7 in the interference pick 'em super bowl

 

[LuckyNumber7]

You guys had your battle of the Tims, but this one is personal [emoji35]

 

[phanan]

Dare I say L7's pick'em strategy just might work.

I feel a slight sense of pride.

 

[Hewson]

bono_212 - 94
Hewson - 93

The epic battle for last comes down to the Superb Owl.
Go Rams, I need that last place finish!

Just not a one-on-one basketball game.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'm praying that the game goes to overtime so we can argue over the coin toss some more.

Fortunately we did not finish with the same total, otherwise this “some more” tiebreaker scenario was a mutually selected and correct value of 69.
