Ugh. Where was the defense this week?

Conference:

49ers 24 Giants 23

Championship Round:

Giants 20, 49ers 23
Ravens 24, Patriots 30

Baltimore 27, New England 24

San Francisco 26, New York 21

The easy one is:

Patriots 49 Ravens 10
The tougher one?

Giants 23 49ers 20
And then? I think the Pats will finally give my Giants the Super Bowl drubbing I expected them to deliver in their almost perfect season:

Patriots 42 Giants 21

Baltimore 23, New England 21
Niners 27, Giants 24

Baltimore 27, New England 24
San Francisco 24, New York 20

Divisional round scoring:

New Orleans 32 - 24 = 8
San Francisco 36 - 23 = 13

Denver 10 - 21 = 11
New England 45 - 34 = 11

Houston 13 - 16 = 3
Baltimore 20 - 23 = 3

New York (N) 37 - 24 = 13
Green Bay 20 - 33 = 13

8+13+11+11+3+3+13+13 = 75
75 - 20 (two correct predictions) = 55

Total = 36 (wild-card round) + 55 = 91

Conference championship round:

Baltimore Ravens 21 @ New England Patriots 27
New York Giants 24 @ San Francisco 49ers 23

I won’t have time to post the updated score list before the games start but I’ll do it later. For now just make sure you have your picks for this week in.
New England 31 Baltimore 27
San Francisco 49ers 20 NY Giants 17

Ravens 28, Patriots 27
Giants 17, 49ers 24

So close to doing so well…

27-20 + 24-23 = 8

26-17 + 21-20 = 10

10+8 = 18 points for Championship weekend.

95+18 = 113 points total.

Conference Championships:

Baltimore (30-20) + Patriots (28-23) = 15
49ers (24-17) + Giants (23-20) = 10

15+10=25

Total= 116+25=141

Super Bowl:

Patriots 38 Giants 22

|20-20|+|23-17|=6
|24-20|+|30-23|-10=1

Total this week=7
Running total=102

49ers (25-17=8) Giants (23-20=3) = 11
Ravens (22-20=2) Patriots (23-20=3) = 5

16…so close.

Add that to the previous score of 114.

130

So close to really nailing both of these. If Lee Evans catches the ball and the 49ers don’t fumble that punt there’s a pretty good chance I’m deep into the negatives. As it is, I scored pretty well for a guy that picked both wrong.

7 + 1 = 8
7 + 0 = 7
8 + 7 = 15
