Okay, since we don't have a MNF game, I need everyone to go ahead and send me their SNF (Sunday Night Football) TCS, because I won't have time to tally up everyone's scores before kickoff.

I guessed 44, but apparently AE gets it even though I picked it first. :x
45 I guess then.

And currently Top is winning the TCS. I expected a little more fight out of the Cowboys...

So... is the season over? Or should we do playoff picking?

My real life pool has playoff sheets, but it’s different. It’s more than just picking games because there are so few a week now, so you also have to pick some stats and over unders. I don’t really like it, that isn’t my area.

Hmm. What if we picked the rest of the playoffs right now? That would be like picking the NCAA basketball tournament. :-k

My real life pool also has one of those, a one time pick through a bracket. It’s hard though because you lose major points if you advance someone who loses, especially early on. I’ll give it a try if anyone else wants to though.

I say we do it. \:D/ Remember: for the second round, the #1 seeds (Packers and Patriots) play the lowest remaining seed available.

I'm assuming the only thing that matters is picking the winning team. (In other words, as long the Saints win the Super Bowl, I get credit for the pick - even if they beat the Steelers instead of the Patriots.)

AFC:
(first round)
Texans (#3) vs. Bengals (#6)
Broncos (#4) vs. Steelers (#5)

(second round)
Patriots (#1) vs. Bengals (#6)
Ravens (#2) vs. Steelers (#3)

(third round)
Patriots (#1) vs. Steelers (#3)

NFC:
(first round)
Saints (#3) vs. Lions (#6)
Giants (#4) vs. Falcons (#5)

(second round)
Packers (#1) vs. Giants (#4)
49ers (#2) vs. Saints (#3)

(third round)
Packers (#1) vs. Saints (#3)

Super Bowl:
Patriots (#1) vs. Saints (#3)

That is correct, you are scored on who you picked to advance, not necessarily who you pitted them against.

(first round)
Texans (#3) vs. Bengals (#6)
Broncos (#4) vs. Steelers (#5)

(second round)
Patriots (#1) vs. Bengals (#6)
Ravens (#2) vs. Steelers (#3)

(third round)
Steelers (#5) vs. Bengals (#6)

NFC:
(first round)
Saints (#3) vs. Lions (#6)
Giants (#4) vs. Falcons (#5)

(second round)
Packers (#1) vs. Falcons (#4)
49ers (#2) vs. Saints (#3)

(third round)
Packers (#1) vs. Saints (#3)

Super Bowl:
Bengals (#6) vs. Saints (#3)
