Oylok, McGentix and George? Which one of you will help conspire with me to take down Fbaezer?

Remember the Alamo!!

@tsarstepan,
If any of them has a drop of Irish blood, they won't!

@BillW,
Speaking of those pesky Pats, they're opening the odds at a spread of 8.5 points. I want some of that action (taking Pats).

Don't you think this game will be close?

@George,
No. I think Pats will open a can of whoop ass. By the 4th quarter, I think they shut Rex Ryan's fat mouth.

How do you think it will sort out?

The hell I am!

It doesn't matter that they're the better team, or that I may pick them to win.

Go Jets!
¡Vamos Mark Sánchez!

Green Bay wins. The leader here is the Mexican guy, Fbaezer. He is 4-0.
What do Mexicans know about American football. There ought to be a law.
Oylok, Tsarstephen, McGentix and George are 3-1.
CoinToss is 2-2.
Wandeljw and SoupKitchen are 0-4.


Seattle's win was a fluke. They will be crushed in their next game.

Here We Go-
I am asking you to pick all the way through to the end in one sitting. That is, you need to pick all of the remaining 7 games before 4:30 ET on Saturday, January 15th. You also need to guess the final score in the Super Bowl.
Divisional Playoffs:
Game 1; Jan 15th, 4:30 pm- Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
Game 2; Jan 15th, 8:00 pm- Green Bay @ Atlanta
Game 3; Jan 16th, 1:00 pm- Seattle @ Chicago
Game 4; Jan 16th, 4:30 pm- NY Jets @ New England

Conference Championships:
Game 5; Jan 23rd, 3:00 pm- Winner of Game 3 vs Winner of Game 4
Game 6; Jan 23rd, 6:30 pm- Winner of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 2

Super Bowl Chamionship:
Game 7; Feb 6th, 6:30 pm- Winner of Game 5 vs Winner of Game 6 (+ score)

Q&A: Can I change a pick? Yes. You can change any pick up until kickoff of the 1st game on Saturday, Jan 15th at 4:30. But then you can not change any guess. Please feel free to post early and then come back to change based on further research, injuries, weather or whatever.
I didn't play during the Wild Card games this past weekend. Can I still play?
Absolutely. Last weekend was termed a warm up because the NFL has a complicated system of determining the match ups for next week. We had 30 players here. I can handle more.
Do I need to know anything about football? You're asking me-I don't know one end of a football from the other.
What do I win? BIG PRIZES. Actually you don't win squat. There are really 2 games going on here. One is to correctly pick the winner of the Super Bowl. If more than one player gets that right, I use the score in the Super Bowl game as the tie breaker. Please remember to post the final score. A 2nd game here is the awarding of points for each correct pick in the 7 games. You do get one of those little stick on stars you can wear on your forehead to the office, churchsynagoguemosque, or school.
More about that game as I continue to make up rules.
Thanks for playing. I look forward to having you join us.

@realjohnboy,
Game 1 vs Game 4
Game 2 vs Game 3

Lets keep our AFC and NFC teams in the same bracket please.

For example (and my picks): Pittsburgh will be playing New England for AFC and Green Bay will be playing Chicago for NFC Championship.

New England will be beating Green Bay in the Super Bowl with a score of 38-17.
