@JPB,

Thanks, JPB, for posting our results for the Wild Card games. The best ESPN guy went 3-1 while the worst was 0-4.
The players here each got a forehead star + 1 point for each correct pick.

Here is the schedule for the Divisional Round next weekend (1/16-17), the Championship Round (1/24), and the Super Bowl XLIV Game (2/7):

GAME #1 (4:30 pm ET 1/16) Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints
GAME #2 (8:15 pm ET 1/16) Baltimore Ravens @ Indianapolis Colts
GAME #3 (1:00 pm ET 1/17) Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings
GAME #4 (4:40 pm ET 1/17) NY Jets @ San Diego Chargers

GAME #5 (1/24) Winner of GAME #1 vs Winner of GAME #3
GAME #6 (1/24) Winner of GAME #2 vs Winner of GAME #4

GAME #7 (2/7) Winner of Game #5 vs Winner of GAME #6. Please also predict the final score in the Super Bowl Game (#7)

It might be useful to know, if anyone can find the info, which teams will enjoy home field advantage in games 5 and 6.

Just to recap the rules for this. I did not realize when I set this up that it was not practical for us to pick all the way through starting with the Wild Card Games just completed. Instead we picked those games - with 1 point being awarded to each player who made a correct pick.
NOW we are ready to pick all the way through using the schedule above regardless of which games you picked in the Wild Card Games.
AND it doesn't matter that (like Miz Cowdoc) you didn't pick the Wild Card Games. You can still play - but everyone must choose all 7 games in 1 sitting.
The winner will be the player who correctly picks the Super Bowl Champ (with the tiebreaker being the final score - more about that later)
There is a little game-within-a-game thing where we accumulate points for correct picks: 1 point for good pick in the Wild Card Games, 2 points for correct picks in the Divisional Round, 5 in the Championship Round and 6 in the Super Bowl Game.
Folks who played in the Wild Card Round have a head start with 1, 2 or 3 points already in their columns. And some are at 0.
To Recap:
Pick all 7 games by 1 pm ET Saturday 1/16. Add a guess as to the final score of the Super Bowl game. You can change your picks up to 1 pm 1/16.
Thanks for playing.

@George,
Thanks, George. You used that bracket thing before. It might be less confusing for some folks than the way I did it.
But I do need you prediction of the final score.
Re the tiebreaker:
Step 1 is the player closest to the winning team's score in the Super Bowl.
Step 2 is the player closest to the losing team's score.
Step 3 is the player closest to the total number of points score.
George

I would say that the brackets are more confusing. George appears to be showing that Minnesota will win the whole thing.

@realjohnboy,
okay let's look at this logically

saints have, like, magic powers (miracles) and have god on their side, so it's pretty obvious they can beat cardinals, now saint francis of assisi might be sympathetic, but that's probably not enough, so the saints win

it's a given colts are bigger than ravens, but they're also just young horses, the ravens can swoop around them, peck their eyes out and the colts are done, so the ravens win

this is the tricky one, both tough customers and the cowboys have guns however vikings are probably tougher than cowboys in my estimation, and they're playing in the cold which gives vikings the advantage, coming as they do from cold climates, so vikings win

the last one is obvious, the jets win, fly in strafe the field, soften up the chargers, a few missile strikes to cut off their power supply, a charger is useless without it's power supply, then drop a bomb or too, so jets win

on to the next round

we know the saints have magic (miracles) and god on their side, but the vikings have gods on their side, it's gonna be a pigskin ragnarok, vikings win

hmm, ravens against jets, both can fly and the jets have all the weapons, but they don't have sully, a few ravens sacrifice themselves in the engines, jets crash, armaments explode, take a few other jets with them, ravens win

this last one is tough, odin had two ravens, so he's likely to favour his buddies and help them, he is however the main norse god, and with out the support of the vikings (aka belief) he's sunk, so who wins

nobody, the first ever superbowl to end in a tie

@realjohnboy,
Johnny-- I don't want to rock the boat or call your efforts into question but there's a danger that by making wrong picks in the quarter finals we can end up with nobody to root for in the semi finals and it's likely that about er er um er 3/4 of us will have nobody to root for in the final itself.

And if we went round by round there would be a lot more posts on the thread and more friendly banter in between growing excitement and fervour as the final approaches for which we would have just one pick. 4 picks, 2 picks, one pick.

Just a thought. Surely you want to see all the bums on the edge of their seats right to the last kneel down or overtime field goal.

Whatever you think I'll still be in. But the final won't be the same for those of us with no pick in it unless we have a bet.
