Your first task is to predict the winners in those four games that will take place this weekend (1/13-1/14).
But, wait, there is more.
Before the start of the games this weekend, you must also predict who will prevail next weekend in the games between the winners of Games (1) and (4) and Games (2) and (3).
Patriots over Colts
Iggles over Bears in a close game
And then you must predict the winner of the Super Bowl Game itself. And Oh yes, just for a tiebreaker, suggest the total number of points the two teams will score..
Patriots 24
Deadline is kick-off of the first game on Saturday.
Is this confusing?
Right now, my choices in oatmeal are confusing. PS Thanks for running the show, RJB.

We are closing in on the deadline. Saturday at whatever time kick-off is.
Knowledge of the NFL is NOT needed. I assure you of that. But if you do know something about the topic, please join.
If you win you get a trophy and a fantastic amount of money. Well, actually, you get squat. Nothing. But please feel free to join anyway.
Indy vs SD ---> SD
NO vs Chicago ---> NO
Super Bowl Winner ---> NO
And the total # of points, Tico, in NO's win over SD? (I am such a nag).
Ms. Cowdoc says:
San Diego over New England
Indianapolis over Baltimore
Chicago over Seattle
New Orleans over Philadephia
San Diego over Indianapolis
Chicago over New Orleans
San Diego over Chicago - 44 points
Indianapolis Colts will win in a close one over the Ravens
The San Diego Chargers will take out the Pats
N.O. Saints are a lock to win over the Eagles, and the Seattle Seahawks, in a stunner, will beat the Bears in convincing fashion.
After that, I'll go with...the Chargers over the Colts (Poor piteous Peyton)
and
the Saints over the stupid ass Seahawks (god I hate them).
In the big game, I predict that the Saints will take the Chargers in what will turn out to be, by far, the greatest superbowl game ever played. It will be won on a final play that is so incredible, so amazing, so unbeLIEVable, that it easily dwarfs in notoriety the immaculate reception, Cassius Clay's phantom punch to knock out Sonny Liston, and the US hockey team's improbably win over Russia to win the gold medal the 1980 olympics. Unfortunately nobody will be watching, due to the fact that nobody gives a **** about either of these teams. The final score of the game will be 42 to 41.
And you can take that to the bank, sucka!
Colts over Ravens.
Chargers over Pats (I'm really unsure about this one; my brain says SD my belly says otherwise).
Bears over Seahawks.
Saints over Eagles.
Chargers over Colts.
Saints over Bears.
Chargers over Saints: 54 points
Baltimore Ravens [an unpleasant visit to the old neighborhood]
New England Patriots [no way I would ever pick otherwise]
Chicago Bears [even though I think their ticket sale restriction is bush-league]
New Orleans Saints [team of destiny]
New England Patriots [bias]
New Orlean Saints [destiny]
New England Patriots (45) [bias trumps destiny]
Kicky, I took your stuff to the bank. They said it was counterfeit.
New England
Indianapolis

Super Bowl - San Diego (48)

Saints - 42
So we are off and running. 16 of us here (although one player filled out an imcomplete ballot).
9 of us feel that San Diego will end up winning the Super Bowl. 4 of us are going with New Orleans and 3 with New England.
As near as I can tell from my scorecard, Lion and Ms Cowdoc have identical picks and Region and Fbaezer will be celebrating or commiserating together.
See you around 8 pm.
Close stats up til now, but as I type I fear Colts are finishing the game off.
Sigh.
Two games down. 7 of yall have unblemished records: Tico, Lion, Cowdoc, Fbaezer, JPB, Ms Cowdoc and Kicky are at 2-0. Everyone else is at 1-1 except for Johnboy who was wrong and then wrong again. 0 -2.
Jespah (going with Philly) and Chiso (with Baltimore)) are the only players who are somewhat wounded. They had them winning yesterday and also winning next weekend. But neither of them had Philly or Baltimore getting to the Super Bowl so they are not mortally wounded.
rjb, chiso had Indianapolis and is also 2-0. The Colts used to be in Baltimore.
Thank you, JPB, for the correction. I buy wite-out in 55 gallon drums.
I always have trouble with the Baltimore Colts sneaking out of that town in the dead of the night to become the Indianapolis Colts.
Not a bad time to get your career long FG.
