Thanks, Cowdoc. Your data squares with mine.
I awarded 1 point to each correct pick in the Wild Card games a week ago and 2 points for a good prediction this past weekend. Each of the 2 games next weekend is worth 5 points with 6 points for a correct pick in the Super Bowl.
Mysteryman's jubilation was short-lived. While he was the only player to pick the Jets, he has Baltimore and Atlanta winning next week and neither will be playing. He is done. He is not alone.
Mysteryman, JPB, Osso, Cowdoc, Lmur and BillW have 6 points each but can not earn any more. Joining them on the bench are LiontamerX, Rhys and Oylek (5 points each); CoastalRat (4); Spendius (3) and Finn (2).
George has 9 points thus far and will have the opportunity to add 5 points next weekend (i.e. he will have 1 team playing-Green Bay).
Johnboy and Parados are at 8 and can add 10 more. They both have Pittsburgh and Green Bay.
Fbaezer, Region and Sozobe have 8 points and the opportunity for 5 more if Green Bay advances.
Edgar has earned 7 and can possibly get 10 more if Pittsburgh and Green Bay advance. Also at 7 but with the chance to pick up only 5 more next week are Ragman (going with Green Bay), Miz Cowdoc and Tsarstepen (both picking Chicago).
Wandeljw has 6 and can gather 5 more if Chicago gets a win. AndyClubber has 5 and has Pittsburgh and Green Bay. Jespah, also at 5, has Green Bay.
Tico and Aidan have each collected 4 points thus far and have Green Bay and Chicago still in their surveyors' hairs.
Please let me know if you catch any errors. The scorecard I designed for myself turns out to not be very user friendly.
*AHEM* I seem to missing in this...
@McGentrix,
yup.
you can join me - standing near the bench, since we didn't even get bench seats
My prior picks are all shot to hell.
I had Pittsburgh over Baltimore but that was it.
So now the sake of jinx I will predict
Steelers over the Jets (I am rooting for the Jets)
Bears over the Packers (I don't really care who wins but hate Julius Pepper)
Mr B is apparently going to the Bears/Packers game on Sunday. His Bears karma has been spotty over the years, but I think he's seen more wins than losses. BIL, on the other hand, is flying in for the game (as he did for the game last weekend). He was a long time season's ticket holder during the years that the Bears sucked. His Bears karma is a known net negative. SIL is staying home. She's definitely known to jinx the chances of a Bears win.
All in all, the B family who will be in attendance will have no net impact on Bears karma. They will, however, be freezing their asses off.
@McGentrix,
McGentrix: I can't seem to find you picks. What page were they on? As for you, EhBeth, you went 2-4 in this past weekend's games but you were supposed to pick all the through to the end. Did I miss where you did that?
I will be happy to edit my standings thing.

nah, I just want a seat on the bench.
I left for the concert before I saw your post telling me you needed more.
@lmur,
Thanks, Lmur. I remember that post now. I was confused by it. So McG picked
Pittsburgh over Baltimore
Green Bay over Atlanta
Chicago over Seattle
New England over NY Jets
New England over Pittsburgh
Green Bay over Chicago
New England over Green Bay (38-17)

Ah, well, about that ... no, I thought the Seahawks had another miracle left in them. I have the Packers winning the next two games, but that's it for me.
@Ticomaya,
You are correct, Tico. My idea of listing possible remaining points was deeply flawed. McGentrix right now seems to be right up there with George: 9.
I hope you are not mad at me, EhBeth. I really tried to make it clear that we had to pick all the way through the Super Bowl starting with last weekend's games.
Onward.
@realjohnboy,
I grabbed the old group W bench from storage.
now there's someplace for us to sit and offer advice...
@Rockhead,
My advice - don't go for the oldies, leave the Colts and Patriots behind!
@BillW,
Ima fanna da bears from here on.
(and no more feet jokes, that **** backfired...)
Hi. AndyClubber, besides being an avid Steeler's fan, hates the Patriots.
He ranted today about the incident in the NE-NYJ's game where it appears that a NE player on the sideline may or may have not tripped a passing Jets player.
I can't necessarily see that from the video.
Any thoughts on what Andy describes as the cheating Patriots? Again.
@realjohnboy,
Not from me, I'm sleepy. Tomorrow..

I disagree. I found the list very useful and was able to compile my own list of where everyone stood thanks to you.

Exactly how much info do you want?
@Oylok,
Shoe size, whether you like long walks on the beach, that kind of thing.
