Rules? You expect me to read rules?!?
Actually, I did re-read the rules before I posted, but I somehow skimmed over or failed to absorb the ‘tiebreaker’ part. Hey, gimme a break-- I’m still trying to deal with the gobsmackingly ignominious Lions loss.
Not to take anything away from the Commanders-- they played a hell of a game and deserve the win.

Bullitt:
Lions 31 - Bills 27
I just reread the OP. I did not format my pick correctly. DOH! It should’ve been:
Lions 31, Bills 27
Sorry for the extra work, @AlsoNamedBort , and thank you for doing this again.
From the OP:
AlsoNamedBort:
My Prediction:
Bills 27, Buccaneers 24
PLEASE NOTE: It’s not an absolute requirement, but it’s very helpful to me if you format your pick the same way I did above – “Winning team name and score, losing team name and score”, on its own line. No locations , just the name. Feel free to add any other commentary on a separate line. Thanks!
If my math is correct, my Bills - Commanders guess has a 1 in 4 chance of winning next week.

Jaylen and Quinton are going to play for E A G L E S this weekend!
What capacity they’ll be capable of…?
Might have another Nick Foles/Tanner McKee year!
For AFC, the Chiefs are outta luck, IMO. UNLESS… the Bills mess it up again. Whomever doesn’t mess up the most goes to the SB.
Who are Jaylen and Quinton?
I assume “Jaylen” is Jalen Hurts.
I have no idea who “Quinton” is.
ETA: Maybe the CB, Quinyon Mitchell?

Yep. Misspelled Jalen Hurts & Quinyon Mitchell.

And its down to 2
And it will come down to the tiebreaker, correct?

I believe tiebreakers #s 1-4 and 6 are a match. #5 might decide but possibly not!
Looks like my tactic of picking my least wanted matchup paid off
Damn, I’ll do that next year.
Predicted scores are 27-24 and 24-21.
If the final score is 27-21, it’s a tie, correct?
Any aggregate score of 48 points is a tie. A total above 48 and I win, below 48 and it goes to smithsb. That’s my understanding of it but I might be wrong.

The over/under is 49.5 - wow!
Which raises this question: To reduce the chance of a tie, would it be legal to include a fractional score in your pick? E.g. Eagles 20, Chiefs 17.5.
You’d be guaranteed to not pick the actual score under those circumstances.

You know, I’d be willing to split the pot right now with you. I’m sure there’s enough in there for both of us to retire comfortably. What do say? Bird in the hand and all that?
I don’t mind sharing the title, as long as its ok with the administrator
