Divisional weekend scores. Please double check your own score - I was just doing this by opening notepad, looking at the posts, looking at the scores, then mentally doing the math and copying it down, so I could’ve easily made an error. Keep in mind that the first bracket (the entire playoffs predicted) aren’t calculated until the end, so ignore those, and there’s a 10 point bonus for picking the winning team. The games are listed in order of PIT/BAL + NYJ/NE + CHI/SEA + GB/ATL. garygnu 7-6-5+19=15 borchevsky 1+21+2+14=38 senorbeef 4+22+16+11=53 jahiegel 14+20+5+15=54 omniscient=12+23+9+14=58 varlos 15+31+8+7=61 gray ghost 7+17+9+28=61 enalzi 15+14+21+16=66 Fear The Turtle 25+12+21+31=89 Kadaji 23+24+19+33=99 Combined scores: Garygnu 15+25=40 senorbeef 52+53=105 jahliegal 55+54=109 gray ghost 63+61=124 enalzi 73+66=139 varlosz 80+61=141 fear the turtle 56+89=145 omniscient 87+58=145 borchevsky 110+38=148 Not eligible due to incomplete entries but can play from week to week: drm 63+no entry Khadiji no entry+99 Garygnu is kicking our asses.

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > …Garygnu is kicking our asses. All you copycats picked GB to score 23 points for some reason. Because Crosby is one of the league’s better kickers, the game was indoors, I didn’t think GB had the running game to assure TDs in the red zone, their last meeting was decided on a last second field goal, and I didn’t think the ATL defense would roll over and die like they ended up doing. I feel privileged to have started the (very faulty, as it turned out) trend. Maybe next year we should PM our picks to you? And indeed he is beating the crap out of us. (Go Steelers, as much as it pains me to say it.) Fun contest though, and I’m glad you’ve set it up. ---

Green Bay 17 Chicago 20 NY Jets 16 Pitt 13 If we get a Steeler-Packer SB I may have to boycott the game. Or hope for a giant sinkhole to open up in Arlington and swallow both teams. ---

All you copycats picked GB to score 23 points for some reason. _Khadiji_? :dubious: 🙂 I wouldn’t have been a threat to anyone anyway - my predictions are more a wish list than predictions. ---

Packers 21, Bears 14 Steelers 24, Jets 19 … What? Oh, ok. Went to a wedding last night, and then back to the hotel that everyone was staying at for drinking etc. (Question: should the groom really have been in the hotel room with us smoking pot at 4:30 AM? That seemed weird to me.) Anyway, those nights are harder to come back from than when I was 20, let me tell you. Didn’t get out of bed today until 5. ---
