I don’t see Locrian in this list, He had Eagles defeating the Patriots.  
Also, MadTheSwine had the Rams beating the Chargers.

I don’t think you can change your pick? Especially after the wild card weekend is already over.

I forgot I made my pick to begin with. LOL

Yeah, Seattle 16 Denver 10 is fine, which is good because that’s what it is. 🥸

I’ll be happy if you’re right because even if I lose here, at least the Seahawks win.

The way they shut down the 49ers impressed the heck out of me, and I think their QB is looking for redemption after last season’s playoff disaster.

I missed my 6 game parlay by 1 (stupid Eagles) but at least I’m still alive here for no money.

My updated prediction; I will lose after next weekend because without Nix I don’t think the Broncos are going to be in the SB behind a bad QB.

I think Broncos/Rams is the only combo not picked.

Nobody picked any kind of Rams Broncos pairing? That was my second choice, if it mattered.
