For the regular season final results, go to the Week 17 thread on page 3.

Congrats again to Crux and the rest of the players who made the postseason.



RULES
• Top 12 players of the regular season are eligible to play.
• Top 4 will have a bye week during the Wildcard Wknd. The rest will battle it out for survival.
• Games are picked straight up (like always).
• Pick one lock-of-the-week, indicated by an asterisk* (JUST ONE):

• Lock is worth +2 points if won and -2 points if lost.
• If for some reason you forget to put the LOCK OF THE WEEK you’re going to lose 2 points.

• If you don’t post your predictions, your opponent will win by default.
• Every other game is worth +1 if won and 0 points if lost.
• Extra points will added to overall score if you have a perfect week (Just Wild Card Wknd [3 points], Divisional Playoffs [3 points] and Conference Championships [2 points]).
• On Conference Championships and Super Bowl XLVII wknd a few Yes and No questions worth 1 point if right and 0 points if wrong will be added.

• For example: Jahvid Best will rush for 100+ yards vs. the Chiefs. Yes or No.
• Tom Brady will throw 3+ pass TD’s vs. the Dolphins. Yes or No.

• Predict the total Net yards and total points of every game (persons with the closest numbers will win 1 extra point).
• If you want, you can send Predictions via PM.

TIEBREAKER
If, at the end of each week during the post season there is a tie between opponents, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined:

1. Predicted a better number of games correctly.
2. Wins the Lock of the Week.
3. Best Net Points differential of all games.
4. Best Net yards differential of all games.

I like the brackets, prepare yourself AlexY

Picks sent in to mata, ready for the playoffs!

I just want to make sure I'm going to send the right numbers. You want the total number of points and yards for each match up, not each individual team. Say I was predicting Bears vs. Tampa and thought it would be 20-13. I'd send in a net points prediction of 33, instead of saying what I think the score for each team will be. Is that right?

Correct.

I thought I came in second the year Pitt beat Zona. Or do you count runner up based on the regular season score?

Yes. Those are from the regular season. There is no second place on the playoffs. You win or you lose .

Looks about right. I also got cowboys and flava'd picks

If I had to pick...

Cincinnati at Houston

Minnesota at Green Bay*

Indianapolis at Baltimore

Seattle at Washington

My picks would've been...

Cinn
GB
Wash
Balt

Everyone got their picks in! There is still time to make some adjustment if you like.

Good Luck!

I have 3 points so far.

I think I got the GB/Min yards point, though.

I went too high on everything... Only one chance to win I think.

My Saturday picks:

Wildcard Weekend
Saturday, Jan. 5th

I picked Indy because I am an idiot.

I really wanna go Washington, but I think Seattle is going to crush RGIII with ease.
