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 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.

Green Bay 28, Chicago 17
Pittsburgh 31, New York 17

Khadiji? :dubious: :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t have been a threat to anyone anyway - my predictions are more a wish list than predictions.

… 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.

Round 1: +110
Round 2: +38
Round 3: -1

By round 5 I should really be in a groove.

My Championship Week score:
Jets/Steelers: 20-19 + 24-19 = 6
Packers/Bears: 34-21 + 27-14 -10 = 16
Total for the week: 22
Total to date: 62

Not that’s there’s much point, as garygnu seems to have had it locked up…still, I felt like bumping this for the last week of the contest.

Pittsburgh 28, Green Bay 27.

Packers 32 - Steelers 23

Woops, with the long time between games I forgot to update the scores. I’ll do it later.
