2015 NFL Playoff Pool
 

I spoke to Leon and got his permission to do a playoff pool for this year. I know it's late, but better late than not at all. After all, it's been a Net54 tradition for the last 5 years. Here are the rules. You have until 1 hour before kickoff to post your picks. Please post to the thread, no PMs. Once you've made your picks, you are locked in. There are no changing picks. I'm sorry, but I just won't have time to go back through the thread looking for edits. If you make an honest mistake (say you pick the same team twice or fail to pick one of the games), just make a new post and I will see it. Other than that, no editing your picks.

All Wild Card games are worth 1 point
All Conference Semi-Finals are worth 2 points
Conference Finals are worth 3 points each
The Super Bowl is worth 5 points

In case of a tie, the tie-breaker will be the total combined points of the Super Bowl. Whoever gets the most points will win a Net54 T-shirt, compliments of Leon (thanks, Leon).

4 others have already posted their picks in last year's thread and I have already logged them.

Good luck to all!

Please note that last year I finished last without even trying (to finish last)

Ravens

My choices are:

Cam uses both arms & feet to get Carolina thru in a close one!
Baltimore to squeak by Pitt as they badly miss Bell.

Cincy & Dalton finally get a PlayOff win!
Romo & Dez get Dallas a victory.

I know I said that the cut-off time would be an hour before kick-off, but let's leave this open until right before kick-off. I think it's the right thing to do since everything happened last minute.

I agree w/ that David! Right before kickoff is good enough!

David,

I just realized that I (and some others) had mistakenly posted my picks in another similarly titled thread that got bumped from last year:

http://net54baseball.com/showthread....180852&page=43

Oops! In case you would honor those, I had:

Carolina, Baltimore, Indy, Dallas

If not, seriously no big deal!

(I knew something was terribly wrong when I hit the first two.) :)

Follow up: Just re-read your first post n this thread, that you had already logged those, so thanks!!!

Good luck everybody.

-David

I think using Frank as a negative barometer would have been wise. He's got me worried, picking the Cowboys.

Good luck holding onto that trophy, Frank.

Scott,

I have actually been correct on 2 of my last 13 picks. If the Cowboys lose, Green Bay will get the Panthers at home (brrrrrrr) instead of Dallas:D, not to mention that I could be 2 of 15 by the end of the day.:D:confused:

Frank, given that I only lost by an extra-point last year, my secondary goal is to have the highest point total over two years...what the heck, to have the highest point total from last year through eternity. I have too many t-shirts anyway.

Regarding Green Bay, my hope is that Dallas plays at Green Bay, it's snowing but no frostbitten players, and Romo sneaks over the goal-line for the victory;i.e-the 'Snow Bowl', as 'Ice Bowl 2' would be cruel and unusual.

Frank,

Any chance you would utilize your special powers towards a "Frank's Picks" weekly segment next year? :)
