The NFL Superbowl Thread! Back Again With Big Prizes*

Texans. 24-13

Saints. 34-31

Falcons. 13-10

Steelers. 27-24

Not a whole lot o' Tebow-love here.

Looks like a big dose of realism from here.....

Wild Card 1:

Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans 28-27
Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints 41-32
Atlanta Falcons @ NY Giants 31-28
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Denver Broncos 31-9

I am going to start nagging pretty soon. Or perhaps not.
A2K does not, I guess, have a lot of NFL followers. We are, perhaps, at our max at around 20-25 players willing to invest a mere 5 minutes to participate. So it goes.

Houston Texans (10-6) : 14-13
New Orleans Saints (13-3): 31-14
Atlanta Falcons (10-6): 21-6
Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4): 42-10

Yay, Tsar, glad to see you. Too bad you're wrong..

My guesses ARE SO WRONG they circumnavigated the predictions globe where my answers are NOW ACTUALLY the correct ones!

Try to trash talk me wills ya Osso!

AndyClubber joins the chorus-

18 players in thus far with 50 hours left until kickoff.

Feel free to skip over this post. It is just about how the scoring will work.
There are 4 games (8 teams) in the wildcard round. Two points will be awarded to every player who makes a correct pick in those games.
The Divisional games will consist of 4 games (8 teams). 3 points for correctly picking games there.
The next week (Conference games) will feature 2 games (4 teams). We will award players who pick the winners 4 points for a correct choice.
Finally, on Super Bowl Sunday, there will be just 1 game and players still with a chance of winning will get 6 points for a correct pick.
I asked for the final scores in this weekend's games. 1 point will be awarded to the player closest to the winning team's score. If there is a tie we will give the point to whomever is closest to the losing team's score. And, if need be, the player closest to the total number of points.
If there is still a tie, each player still in contention will get a point.
I warned you that you should not bother reading this, didn't I?

Yes you did. But I read it anyway. Very interesting too.

Cool rules..

good work. that will make it fun.

So for gerins...is there no picking ahead part? Such as attempting to guess the final 2 contesting teams from the current stage, right?

If there is/was, I'd pick San Francisco and Baltimore. Why? 'Cause I'm nucking futs!

This week we are just picking the wild card games.
But then, after Sunday, we will pick all the way through in just ONE SITTING.
The reason for this is that the matchups are too vague until after this week.
Where are Rhys, JPB, Mysteryman, Tico, Edgar and Wandeljw?

Something wrong?

No, Johnboy was just wondering where you are.......

He was just doing his usual herding.
