NFL Playoff Game

Curubethion · 01-05-2006, 12:04 AM

This game is simple: for each playoff game, starting with the wildcards, you pick a winner. If half of the teams you pick win, then you advance to the next round. Otherwise, you're out.
The matchups:
January 7-
Jacksonville Jaguars(5) vs. New England Patriots(4)

Washington Redskins(6) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers(3)

January 8-
Carolina Panthers(5) vs. NY Giants(4)

Pittsburgh Steelers(6) vs. Cincinnati Bengals(3)

If you want to enter, post here with your picks before January 7.
PS: I will also be in this...
My Picks:
Patriots, Redskins, Giants, Bengals

Good to see some people who actually noticed

Wonder what durinsbane would say about JAX getting picked against by everyone...
How can we get more people to notice?? I know there's people here that like football!

brownjenkins · 01-09-2006, 10:59 AM

brownjenkins · 01-16-2006, 11:51 AM

squeaked through again

Insidious Rex · 01-16-2006, 12:41 PM

75% over 8 playoff games? I need my own Vegas 900 number.

Now it gets tricky... I really want to take Pittsburgh over Denver but Im gonna have to look at that one a little closer... And whats the deal with Alexander? Will he play against Carolina? Will he be 100%?

brownjenkins · 01-16-2006, 01:02 PM

my pick: denver and carolina in the superbowl

Curubethion · 01-16-2006, 01:38 PM

Okay...here's the official standings (I think I'm out...)
Me (3-5): Patriots, Colts, Bears, Seahawks OUT
brownjenkins (4-4):Patriots, Colts, Panthers, Seahawks
Insidious Rex (6-2): Broncos, Colts, Panthers, Seahawks
Rian (4-4): Patriots, Colts, Bears, Seahawks OUT
Yikes! What a round! So we've got brown and Rex left...
Denver (2) vs. Pittsburgh (6)
Carolina (5) vs. Seattle (1)
Have fun! Here we go!
Rex, how do you do that?

Count Comfect · 01-17-2006, 02:07 AM

As an FYI, Alexander is apparently playing, but perhaps not at 100%.

Should have remembered to post here last week... but as I'd only have gotten the Seahawks game right, it wouldn't have mattered.

'Hawks and Steelers, baby.
