I don’t know. The seeding issue is sort of important. The seeds can change based on the other game too - that is, if you have seeds 3 and 4 advancing, then you could correctly pick 1v4, and 2v3. But if seeds 4 and 6 actually advanced, you’d have 1v6 and 2v4. So even though you correctly picked that 4 would advance, because you got the other pick wrong, the seeding is screwed up for both. That’s part of the contest, I think - getting rewarded more for getting seeding right, and I took some care to think about the various scenarios and how they could play out like that before I made my picks.
On the other hand, you actually got the right picks, so this is just an oversight of thinking about how your correct picks would play out in terms of seeding. That being the case, I’m inclined to let you get a pass on this one, but I’d like to hear if anyone else has an opinion on it.
His AFC seeding is wrong because of a wrong pick. It makes sense not to change that. Mine is the same way. But his NFC was wrong from the get-go. There was no way Green Bay would play Chicago next week, regardless of who won.
Friendly reminder to get your divisional picks in before Sat Afternoon.

I don’t calculate the bonus scores from the first bracket until the end of the competition, it’s much easier to do it all at once. So when I list weekly scores (which I forgot to do this week) it only concerns the weekly part of the competition. At the end, I’ll subtract the bonus points earned in the first bracket from that total.
Baltimore 17 Pittsburgh 24
Green Bay 33 Atlanta 27
Bears 20 Seahawks 13
Jets 20 Patriots 35
Ok, here are the wildcard weekend scores. I’ll do the divisional scores later.
The format is sea/no + gb/phi + nyj/ind + bal/kc = total
Remember that there’s a 10 point bonus for picking the winning team, which also means that some of those numbers can be negative if they’re close enough.
Everyone please double check your own score. I just did it quickly by hand so I may have made a mistake. If everyone checks their own scores it’ll be easy and ensure accuracy. The results were:
