The Game Room

45

Panthers 28, Chiefs 16

Tiebreaker rule (total score, then closest to winner score, then closest to loser score) should be changed, assuming that’s the plan from last year.

If team A wins a game 33-30, the guy who guessed Team A wins 62-0 will beat the guy who said Team A wins 30-27. Or make up your own absurd examples.

Tiebreaker should simply be number of points the prediction was off off from winning team score plus the number of points off from the losing team score.

So in the previous example, the guy who predicted 30-27 is off by 6. 3 off from 33, and 3 off from 30. The guy who predicted 62-0 is off by 29 + 30 = 59. Makes a lot more sense.

Hammer dropped – no more submissions!

Going to jump in the shower and then settle in for an evening of foozbawl. I’ll format everyone’s submissions and go over the tiebreaker suggestions in a bit.

The first result has eliminated nobody.

If the Bengals win tonight, eight people will be out. A Steelers win will eliminate five.

54

Actually, Suburban Plankton had Houston. He is not eliminated, per se, but he is down one.

55

So he did. My mistake.

56

And that’s why I picked Kansas City.

Oh, and a big thanks to Hal for running this thing again.
