NFL Playoff Pick 'Em!

Just for fun, I'll give my picks and predictions from the past week.

Packers vs. Seahawks: 28-17 (Actual score: 42-20)

Cowboys vs. Giants: 28-20 (Actual score: 17-21)

Patriots vs. Jaguars: 31-14 (Actual score: 31-20)

Colts vs. Chargers: 27-14 (Actual score: 24-28)

My friend and I did our picks together. We agreed on who'd win. So as far as the scores go, I was incorrect on all of them, however I was 2-2 in total of the W/L. It surprised me that the Chargers won, for two reasons: I dislike them and they weren't looking too good, but I guess I was wrong. The Cowboys game was expected, although not what I wanted. I knew Romo would mess up somehow. He had been sloppy for the past three games. At one point during the regular season I thought he was going to reach 40 TDs in the season, at the pace he was going, but then he started getting sloppy and careless, which caused him the loss yesterday.

Anyway my predictions for next week are as follows:

Packers vs. Giants: 34-17

Patriots vs. Chargers: 28-14

I hope I get that result next week. I really want to see the Packers win the Super Bowl. I hope the Patriots lose, just so we can all laugh at their hapless-undefeated season, but most likely that won't happen, judging by their superiority.

 

I'm not in last? Well, at least I have the consolation of knowing my score picks were WAYYYY off!

At least I'm the best at being the worst number-picker.

 

Argh! In 2nd by 1 point.

 

I = teh suck


but at least I don't quit!

 

Even when you should...

 

I can still ban you, you know!

 

You know I <3 you!

 

Ahead by 1 piont!

 

I'm going to be out of town this weekend, so PM your picks and scores to Kyptastic, this week.

Divisional Round:

NFC:

New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers

AFC:

San Diego Chargers @ New England Patriots

 

Can I still pick even though I missed the previous round?

 

Yep, but we're going by number of wins, so it'll just be more difficult for you to win. You're more than welcome to play along.

 

My picks:

Patriots 28
Chargers 17

Giants 21
Packers 10

Don't forget to submit, folks. It wouldn't be right if someone wins in large part because a bunch of people forgot to pick at all.

 

8 people have submitted picks, less than half the amount on the leaderboard

 

Going out on a limb for the AFC matchup...

Chargers 31
Patriots 28

NFC

Packers 24
Giants 17

 

Well, I'm 1-0 so far today.

 

Most people managed a 1-1 weekend. KnightWriter, Eeth-my-Koth and RX_Sith all picked both games correctly.

Knightwriter jumps to the top of the leaderboard, although there are 4 players who can catch him for the Superbowl.

Official Standings after Championship Weekend:

KnightWriter: 8-2 (108)
Eeth-my-Koth: 7-3 (72)
RX_Sith: 7-3 (83)

Inty: 4-6 (92)
Rohniss: 3-1 (34)
rechedelphar: 3-1 (61)
Kobe: 3-3 (58)
squishy_vic 1-1 (9)

Hopefully I got that right

Edit. I didn't copy Eeth's real standing after the second round

 

5-3?! I was 2-0 today, I should be 7-3!

Although it doesn't matter, since KW has this locked up.

 

Did you Pm your picks to me or Prenn?

 

Prenn

 

Well, that's where you went wrong

I'm sure Prenn will confirm your score when he does come back however.

 

Damn Packers. Screwed me up here too.

 

Although it doesn't matter, since KW has this locked up.


I don't know about that. Barring some kind of injury or other mishap befalling the Patriots, I'm picking New England for the Super Bowl, and this Giants team has already shown it can give them all it can handle. A Giants championship wouldn't be any kind of surprise to me now. They're some kind of real team.

 

Yawn.

My only prayer is having the lowest point total of all of the 8-3s and you forfeiting your win because you already have colors

 

Well, here we go. Six people are still technically in contention, but they'd all have to pick a different team and score than KW, and we all know what that team will be.

You guys have two weeks to think it over though. Picks are due on the first.
