Looks like you will be needing it this time. That was pretty sad.
Dammit, I missed this thread this year!
If I had made it in in time, my pick would have been Patriots over Packers, 28-21.
Yes, it was. I’ll get over it. But I’ll still be hearing about Super Bowl XL 10 years from now.
Only because you will keep bringing it up. Most 'Hawks fans have moved on.
Interesting – I did a [ctrl-f] search on my document for each of those, so I guess I misspelled “Cardinals” when I did that. Funny thing is that when I posted that, I thought to myself “I guess dalej42 didn’t participate this year, since I know he’d pick the Cards”. 
Ok, here’s where we are after Wild Card Saturday:

You may have misspelled “Panthers” (picked by PSXer) and “Ravens” (picked by picker) as well.
I picked two teams with byes because I wanted make it past week 1 without being eliminated!
I really should’ve thought about the injury to Bell before picking Pittsburgh. Live and learn :D.

If the Seahawk and Patriots go to the SB, you’ve got 14 still left in the pool. To win might require picking something close to the exact score.
Well, if the Colts were to pull it off next week, we would be in a rather worse situation, as there are 8 for the Packers, 16 for the Seahawks, and no one for the Colts.
(btw, it looks like Hamlet is in the wrong spot)
Apparently these picks were so bad as to be unworthy of official notice. Just as well, since both are now eliminated…
Has it been a bad few weeks for you, Oak?

So basically, if the Colts win tonight, this game is going to go into HyperMassiveClusterfuck mode.
Wow, if the Colts pull this off, the SDMB game room might be annihilated by antimatter. Or sucked into an alternate dimension. Or something.
Down by 31 deep in the 3rd, I have my serious doubts that’ll happen. In fact, I’m going to start breaking this down to figure out the tiebreakers.
Ok, at the end of three quarters the Patriots are up 31 and the Colts are in full surrender mode (in this situation, if your punter isn’t in the locker room, you’ve already quit), so I’m calling this one “over”.
So here’s where we are: Obviously, the group that doesn’t pick the SB-winning team will be out of the running. The first tiebreaker will coming closest to the total score (now in parentheses after the score picks below). If there’s still a tie, then it will be whoever comes closest to the winning team score, and then closest to the losing team score if another tiebreaker is needed. That should probably cover just about every contingency. There are a couple of ways there could be a tie, and if that happens, well, it happens. Here’s who we have left in the running:
BigDadWolf - Patriots 30, Seahawks 27 - (57)
notfrommensa - Patriots 31, Seahawks 24 - (55)
borschevsky - Patriots 31, Seahawks 20 - (51)
Larry Borgia - Patriots 27, Seahawks 21 - (48)
Kiros - Patriots 27, Seahawks 21 - (48)
Enginerd - Patriots 20, Seahawks 17 - (37)
Fear the Turtle - Seahawks 31, Patriots 24 - (55)
MadTheSwine - Seahawks 38, Patriots 11 - (49)
Jahiegel - Seahawks 24, Patriots 23 - (47)
Kimble - Seahawks 24, Patriots 22 - (46)
Saint Cad - Seahawks 24, Patriots 21 - (45)
Procrustus - Seahawks 24, Patriots 17 - (41)
Sir T-Cups - Seahawks 28, Patriots 10 - (38)
Wargamer - Seahawks 24, Patriots 10 - (34)
So you are saying I have a chance!!
Woo Hoo…first time I ever made it this far.
