Sab's Playoff Pick 'Em Game

[sabotai]

Here we go with another NFL playoff and I thought it'd be fun to do another pick 'em game. Whiel at work today, I thought of how to do it with a point system and here is what I came up with.

1) Forall of the games for the current week, you pick the score of the game. Ex:

Seattle 20
Green Bay 30

2) For each point that you are off by, you get 1 point.

Example Result:
Seattle 17
Green Bay 20

I was off by 3 for Seattle, and 10 for Green Bay, so my score is 13.

3) You get an additional 10 points if you get the winner wrong.

Example Result:
Seattle 17
Green Bay 10

Seattle off by 3. Green Bay off by 20. Plus 10 points since I guessed the winner wrong, so my score would be 33.

3) Since the Conference Finals only has 2 games, the points you get for that week will be multiplied by 2, and Since there's only one Super Bowl, the points you get will be multiplied by 4.

4) Whoever has the least amount of points after the Super Bowl wins.

All picks muct be before the start of the first game of the week.

the average predictions (rounded, since you can't score .18518519 points :) ) so far

Seattle 19
Green Bay 28

Tennessee 18
Baltimore 14

Dallas 13
Carolina 16

Denver 25
Indy 30

So it would seem that the general prediction is that the Dall-Carolina game will be one of defense where as Denver-Indy will be one of offense. And that Green Bay will convincingly beat Seattle.

So far....still plenty of time to get predictions in.

Sorry, but they just aren't that good with Q-Carter at QB.:)

[JeeberD]

Q-Carter? Who's that? The Cowboys have either Q-Car or just plain Q playing for them....

Guess that will do it for round one...

Congrats to Nostradamus for getting Zero Points in game #1.

kingfc22 - Tennessee 20, Baltimore 17

[kingfc22]

Just got home and was checking my predictions and lo and behold I got the exact score right. Don't think I've ever been that lucky beofre.

[JeeberD]

Only one point off of the Tenn-Balt game. :)

Way the hell off of the Cowboys game... :( :(

[Eaglesfan27]

Well at least I got the winners right in the first two games. However, I have 30 points after only two games (assuming my math is correct this time of night)

[Dutch]

Just 20 points for me in day 1 even if I am 1-1 in predicting the winner.

Because Q-Carter sucks....:D

no, no, no, you have to say "because Q-Car sucks" or "because just plain Q sucks" :D

I wanted to have an update of the scores last night, but I was in Philly. I just got home so I'm going to go shower and do up all of the scores so we know what the situation is for the last wildcard game (The SEA-GB game will probably be done by the time i get all of the scores)

[sabotai]

Just glancing at the predicts, if Seattle can get a TD and send it to overtime, and GB scores a TD in OT, General Mike will have an exact prediction. Other than that, FrogMan's 28-21 predict is the closest right now.

[sabotai]

General Mike is praying for a big-play TD by the Packers now. :)

[sabotai]

And it happens. Forgot about the XP, but still a 1 point predict for Mike.

[Eaglesfan27]

Not a great first week, but I'm still in striking distance of the leader in following weeks. :)

[JeeberD]

Middle of the pack. The damn Cowboys killed me...

[RPI-Fan]

What a freaking second day for me. Still hardly in the hunt, though.

[sabotai]

Still plenty of playoff left. No one's out of it yet.

[kingfc22]

Ouch, that Indy/DEN game just killed me.

Any way those who get the exact score right get any points taken off?;)

[Passacaglia]

4th place, not bad. And I didn't even pick all the winners right!

[Radii]

Is this the thread to pick the games for this upcoming weekend? Or will thre be a new one?

[sabotai]

new thread, which I will create.........now.
