Sab's Playoff Pick 'Em Game: Conference Championships

[sabotai]

Here we go with the conference championships. Rules are the same as before, except in this round if you pick the winner wrong, you get a 20 point penalty instead of just 10.

Rules can be found here (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19346)

The game are:

Indianapolis
New England

Carolina
Philadelphia

(personally, I'll be making my picks when it is more clear on if Davis will be starting for Carolina or not. :) )

[Butter]

Indianapolis 28

Are you saying you get 20 points before the amount is doubled, or because the amount is doubled?

Are you saying you get 20 points before the amount is doubled, or because the amount is doubled?

Because the amount is doubled. I'm trying to keep it balanced in that if you pick all of the games wrong, you end up with 40 points added and if you pick all of the games right, you get no points added. Since there are only 2 games, that makes it split 20 points per game.

I better be right on here If I have any hope, so I consult my crystal ball and I see............

I find it fascinating how many people think Indy will put up 28+ points against the Pats. Yes, they did it before, but that was at home, in a dome, and it seemed the Patriots let up some after going up so much early and also Tom Brady threw 2 INT's late to help the Colts with their comeback.

I personally think they're gonna put up more than 40 or less than 10 but nothing in between. They'll either be shut down or run the Pats out of town.

[Eaglesfan27]

Personally, I'm waiting til Friday and the latest reports on injuries to make my predictions.

[BishopMVP]

The Colts have a great offense, the Pats have a great defense and a great defensive system. My money is on 3 scores by the Colts, so either 13/17/21 points. Or about 3-7 less than the Patriots. :)

[jetpunk2000]

Well I missed the first two rounds, but for fun let me pick:

Indy 17
NE 27

Carolina 20
Philly 27

[BishopMVP]

Indianapolis 45
New England 10

Edited, just to piss off BishopMVP :)
Saved for posterity :p I don't get pissed off, I just find it funny. Especially with people like Zach Piller "I just don't think they are a good football team defensively or overall." That team has only won 13 straight, including 2 over your team and you were just held to 14 points (admittedly, partially due to weather), but I guess they aren't a good team.

As long as I've posted 3 times in the thread, I may as well make some picks, even if I missed the first 2 weeks.

New England 20
Indianapolis 17

Philadelphia 23
Carolina 10 (Probably closer if Davis plays, but I'll just stick with this)

Nah, I know the Pats are a top team, my personal opinion is just that this is one of those years where a team gets hot and just buzzes thru everyone. Of course Im gonna have to change my opinion if they meet my Eagles in the Superbowl. :)

Just to let you know, I have not entered the scores in yet, so if the 45-10 isn't what you really want, you better edit it back soon. :D

Let's see, Pollard says give us the rings :confused: , ESPN and all the other media sycophants panting over Manning :o , popular opinion strongly on the Colts side :p , point spread nothing more than the home field advantage :eek: . Sounds like a typical Patriots game to me :D . I guess beating the other team on the road, being undefeated at home, undefeated against teams with winning records, home or road, having one of the great clutch QBs in the league, and having a fantastic chemistry, count for nothing.

I'm not bitter :)

Carolina 24
Philadelphia 17

The average score for the week * 1.5 = 83 points.

People too lazy to send in predicts: Rich1033, alterra, the_herd, pskov, Passacaglia, rkmsuf, Shorty3281, Dutch, mattwakeman, FrogMan and lynchjim24. They will all receiver 83 points.

People who did not play week 1 or 2 (and thus start with 115 (week 1) + 98 (week 2) = 213): BishopMVP, Easy Mac, jetpunk2000, FBPro, hukrez.

Tied for 2nd. Not bad at all.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm not as far down as I thought I would be after two awful predictions

[wbatl1]

Wow-I started 29 after week one, now I'm up to 15. I guess we'll have a week+ to think about the Super Bowl.
