I saw a fumble the other night and the ball popped about for a bit and the players dived on it and there was a dispute about who had got it. So they showed us a slow-moish re-run with a good view and I swear I saw a player from one side give it to a player from the other in the melee. They didn't show it twice of course.

I'm not saying that my eyes weren't deceiving me but that's what it looked like as far as I could tell. There wasn't a lot of ambiguity. Some--maybe. Not a lot.

That guy getting his heel out of the end zone just before catching the pass was a bit lucky for the other side.

Do players of losing teams at this stage get to go to sunny beaches and luxury hotels in the Caribbean when they are eliminated?

I have seen star players limp off in the third or fourth last match and next news it's announced they are out for the season. Next news they are in the gossip pages surfboarding with two bimbos in Antigua. Grinning sheepishly or like that American expression I am loathe to use on a clean-cut thread like this is.

The best thing about the appreciation of art, and the NFL is art, is knowing how it is done. One is not allowed to empty the money out of people's pockets, purses and placket-corners by taking them by the heels and shaking them.

@aidan,

Thanks, Aidan. I have recorded your picks, but please be aware that my original posting of the schedule had an error. Your picks still work, though, and based on your picking rationale I am assuming you will stick with them.
Thanks for joining in!

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

Super Bowl Championship:
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.

@InfraBlue,

I've got a mac - will have to figure out how to do that.
Or maybe I'll switch to "domani".
Still can't decide on a couple of choices.

That's my response to the sports haters that have posted on this and other threads. Watching sports is like looking at art. Athletes are at the highest level of human physiological ability and development. Watching sports is to appreciate this aspect of humanity.

But then again, some people don't much care for art, either.
