NFL 2007/8 A2K Road to Phoenix-The Duel In the Desert

God bless us every one.

Congratulations to Cowdoc for winning the regular season. He consistently did well.

Thanks to JPB for doing a fantastic job of running this thing in this our fourth season.

JPB can of course set up the rules for the playoffs any way she wants. As I recall the procedure we used in the past, there are a couple of wild-card games that we pick. And then once that is settled we pick all the way through to the end in one sitting, as in, I have A beating B, C topping D, E over F, and G knocking off H. And then I see A ousting C and E whipping G. And in the Superbowl A triumphs against E. I don't think we gave points for the number of correct games; rather it was who got the champion picked correctly.

Happy New Year to everyone!

So it's setup is sort of like a March Madness type of contest?

Let's give JPB a chance to catch her breath!

I don't sense anyone rushing her.

(basking away)

pass the sunscreen, would you?

Baskage is good. And thanks again, JPB!!!

And, in the picking through the Superbowl, you have to use a different verb for each game. Note my last post.

Thanks JPB!

Congratulations Cowdoc!

Had a fun time reading you posts throughout the season, look forward to doing it again next season

Happy New Year!!!!


You're welcome, it was my pleasure, de nada, and all that.

Playoffs? manana...

I think we'll do parallel games this year. One as described above and another to give everyone a chance to play throughout, we'll continue with a weekly set of picks for each game played.

The first week is the same for both games -- correctly pick the Wild Card winners.

Washington (9-7) at Seattle (10-6)
Jacksonville (11-5) at Pittsburgh (10-6)

NY Giants (10-6) at Tampa Bay (9-7)
Tennessee (10-6) at San Diego (11-5)

correctly pick the Wild Card winners.

Washington (9-7) at Seattle (10-6)
Jacksonville (11-5) at Pittsburgh (10-6)

NY Giants (10-6) at Tampa Bay (9-7)
Tennessee (10-6) at San Diego (11-5)

Seattle
Jacksonville (darn it)(unless it snows)
Tampa Bay

Opposite of RJB, it seems.

Wild-card Week-end:

Seattle
Jacksonville

NY Giants
San Diego

(we'll prolly need a tie-breaker...)

Good point -- let's use the total score of the Tenn at SD game.

Tico, RP, and rjb -- please give me a total score for that game.

Tico and I are convinced that the CIA is watcing our houses and monitoring our messages, but I will whisper 42. Keep it secret, please.
