One knocked out so far. I’ll have the full list tomorrow after the game. Interesting to note that every remaining NFC team has been picked and every remaining AFC team has been picked EXCEPT the Jags. ---

I hope anyone who picked Dallas chose a score with a multiple of 6. The kicker can’t make extra points. ---

Yeah, but get both teams with the wrong winner is above getting the winner right but only one team. So anyone that has just the Bills left can’t win if the Bills make the Super Bowl, regardless of who wins. ---

Before this weekend, two people were eliminated. Now 26 are gone. I didn’t realize until right now that, of the 35 entries, 20 picked the Bills to win the AFC. That made this weekend the bloodbath that it was. ---

Upon examination, it looks like there is one unique pick of the two teams in the super bowl. If the Bengals and the 49ers are the two super bowl teams, does that entry win regardless of the outcome? ETA: OK, found the tiebreakers- they do win before the game takes place, in that scenario.
