Post #21 reported.
Scoring WC Weekend:
Hou: 16-31 = 15
Cin: 20-10 = 10
Den: 9-29 = 20
Pit: 17-23 = 6
Atl: 24-2 = 22
NY: 27-24= 3
Det: 24-28 = 4
N.O.: 38-45 = 7
15+10+20+6+22+3+4+7= 87.
Subtract -20 for getting two games right, and I have 67 points. Sigh.
Cin/Hou (23-10) + (31-16) = 28
Pitt/Den (23-21) + (29-0) = 31
NO/Det: (49-45) + (35-28) = 11 - 10 (win bonus) = 1
NY/Atl: (31-24) + (28-2) = 33 - 10 (win bonus) = 23
83…yay?
Divisional round predictions:
NO 20 @ SF 21
Den 21 @ NE 34
Hou 9 @ Bal 16
NYG 31 @ GB 28
The weather is supposed to be nice in SF this weekend, so I’m in reality thinking that New Orleans has a better chance of winning than I initially thought. But since I predicted SF to win it all, I’m going to go against myself and use a SF win in the prediction thread. It’s going to be cold in GB. Not frigid, but cold.

NO 45 - 48 = 3
Atl 2 - 31 = 29

A somehow very good take on Det@NO probably saved this week from being historically bad.

Thanks to everyone for grading their own results this year, it’s really tedious to crank out 12 of these at once by hand.

NYG/ATL 0+31=31
NO/DET 3+5-10=-2

I feel entirely a jerk for being the single fellow who was unable, notwithstanding the entreaty in the first post, to score his own picks; I had every expectation that I’d so do but didn’t finalize my divisional round picks until this morning and and had not occasion otherwise to return to the thread. Apologies in any case, and a promise to be more prompt next week (unless, that is, my Pack and Pats manage to lose [which is not without their capability/ies this week], whereupon I would find myself catatonic for a solid month).
New Orleans Saints 24 @ San Francisco 49ers 23
New York Giants 24 @ Green Bay Packers 33
Denver Broncos 21 @ New England Patriots 34
Houston Texans 16 @ Baltimore Ravens 23
If anyone forgot to pick the scores late, and you get here after the start of the first game, post a prediction for the rest of the games and we’ll come up with some punishment for the missed game - maybe use the number of the worst scorer for that game or that +10 or something.
83 points after Wild Card Weekend.
Woo, 4-0 this weekend!
NO/SF (32-20) + (36-21) = 27 - 10 (win bonus) = 17
Den/NE (21-10) + (45-34) = 22 - 10 (win bonus) = 12
Hou/Bal (13-9) + (20-16) = 8 - 10 (win bonus) = -2
NYG/GB (37-31) + (28-20) = 14 - 10 (win bonus) = 4
Division Round total: 31
Overall score: 114
Let’s see…
NO 17-32 + SF 20-36 = 15 + 16 = 31
Den 9-10 + NE 27-45 = 1 + 18 = 19
Hou 13-13 + Bal 24-20 = 0 + 4 = 4
NYG 27-37 + GB 24-20 = 10 + 4 =14
31+19+4+14 = 68. -40 for all four correct = 28 for this round.
28 + 67 in the first round = 95 total so far.
5 + 20 = 25
7 + 12 -10 = 9
4 + 11 -10 = 5
9 + 4 - 10 = 3
25 + 9 + 5 + 3 = 42
Divisional Round scores:
NO 32 - 23 = 9
SF 36 - 24 = 12
Den 10 - 23 = 13
NE 45 - 38 = 7
Hou 13 - 17 = 4
Bal 20 - 24 = 4
NYG 37 - 34 = 3
GB 20 - 31 = 11
9+12+13+7+4+4+3+11 = 63 - 40 (all four correct) = 23
Wildcard 80 + Divisional 23 = 103
That’s a damn sight better than the first round. I’m surprised so many people got all four correct. I thought I was going out on a limb picking SF and NYG and that I’d make up some ground. Oh well. Still a great round for four games.
I’ll be picking later in the week.
