NFL Post Season Pick'em Contest
 

Sorry for being late on this but I forgot all about us doing this last year.

It's just for fun and here's a link to last years thread.

Let's have a little fun and see who can pick the most correct through the playoffs.

I'll keep track of the standings for anyone that has posted their picks no later than 4:30pm EST on 01/08/11. (Due to me being late in getting this started if you don't see the post until after a game has started, you may take a 0 for the game or games played or in progress but can still pick the rest.)

Any edits made after this time will make your picks void.

Picks for all four weekend games will be locked in at this time.

We will be using the Sloate Scoring System again this year.

1 point for each wild card game
2 points for the conference semi-finals
3 points for the conference finals
5 points for the Super Bowl.

2010 Champ - Rawn Hill 18 points

My picks:

Saints
Colts
Ravens
Eagles

Last year I got nearly every pick wrong. This time I hope to do a little better. Thanks Tim for keeping score.

Saints
Jets
Ravens
Packers

Rob- I'm at a loss with the Jets. One week they look like Superbowl contenders, the next they look like a lottery team. I never know what to expect with them. Today I think they might fall a little short.

If they get pressure on Manning and don't turn the ball over they will win. The Jets are too talented on offense not to put up points on that Indy D. Plus of course I am a little biased with my pick...I just can't go against them.

Let's see if I can beat my Dad,

Well I'm rooting for the Jets, but I think the Colts will win. Some days Sanchez looks like Joe Montana, others he looks like a second year player still learning the game.

Hope I am not too late

Saints
Colts
Ravens
Packers

Not too late at all.

If someone wants in after the first game starts they can submit their other three picks and just take a 0 for the first game.

Hope I am not too late either!

Saints
Colts
Chiefs
Packers

Anybody that saw this late and still wants to get in just post your picks for the 3 remaining games.

Jets (and I hope I am wrong!)
Saints
Ravens
Iggles

Everyone picked the Saints...and everyone got it wrong. What a game!

Great game. What a run by Marshawn Lynch!

Now lets see what the Jets have for Peyton and Co.

I knew I was in trouble when I saw Barry picked all the same teams as me. :D

Congrats Rob!

Had a bunch of Jet fan friends over to watch the game, and the range of emotions during the 4th quarter was nauseating. From Santonio dropping an easy 1st down conversion and then us getting a break when Indy made a bonehead special teams play running into the kicker. Then Peyton driving down the field and watching who has to be the best big game kicker in NFL history kick a 50 yarder with ease. Then with Brad Smith not at full strength Cromartie gives great field position and then the most stomach turning moment was watching Folk prepare to kick the game winning FG with our season on the line. What a night!!

Well I'm 0 for 2. I might try making all my picks...and then going with the other team. I could win it all that way.:)

If anybody wants in just pick todays games prior to kickoff of the 1pm game. You won't be at a huge disadvantage!

Just put a hun on Balt by 3, hope it works for all.

Rawn

Give me 0 'fer 2 for Sat

Today I'm taking the Chiefs to surprise the Ravens & Green Bay to stifle Vick enough for a win.

Barry, that sounds like a very familiar Seinfeld episode... :)

"If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right."

My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.:)

My Eagles aren't looking too good :(

No they're not. They should have gone for it on 4th and 1. When you're down 11 you need to take risks.

I missed this but just want to say how happy I am the Saints lost !!!

Jump in it's still up in the air.

Rawn

Risk, the game of world domination! I agree, I didn't understand why he didn't go for it there. Turns out Akers had a pretty rough day...

I don't know how the Giants gave up four touchdowns in eight minutes to that team. They looked pretty awful today.

Picks
 

Ravens
Packers
Bears
Pats (damn it)

Rawn- I'm rooting for the Jets, but picked the Pats. I guess I win either way.

Pats
 

I absolutely am sick of the Pats and am surrounded by their fans here. It all stems from being on Rush Street during the Superbowl against the Bears, they cost me a lot of rounds of beers.

I missed the first week but here goes for week 2:

Balt Ravens
Atl Falcons
Chic Bears
NE Patroits

Thanks Mike

You're only 1 point behind several of us that haven't missed anything. :D

.

I hope the officials for the Pitt/Balt game are very proud of themselves. A great game, but very poorly officiated.

Good luck to the Jets fans today. I would love to see the Pats get beaten, however I have to take them -8.5.
