Unless I edit this: home teams 31-17

OK so I edited this before noon on Saturday
Cleveland 27 Houston 24
Miami 6 Kansas City 14 I originally gave Miami 3 more TDs but at subzero temperature I think they cave early. Kicking XPs and FGs are a waste of down they soon learn.
Pittsburgh 13 Buffalo 24
Green Bay 17 Dallas 31
LA Rams 34 Detroit 31 < for casual fans this should be the best game of the weekend
Philadelphia 17 Tampa Bay 21

Only 2 games will be impacted by climate. Good reason to see 30 points.

I thought that we'd have more players in our playoff contest.

I don't want to call out the non-participators. Perhaps I do.

I knew better than to pick Cleveland over Houston. Stroud is a beast at QB. He frustrates everyone he faces.

I was closer with my unedited choices.

I've never been so happy to block a pick as I was with the Packers beating the snot out of the Cowboys and Jerry Jones. One of the most enjoyable parts of the broadcast was seeing Jones darned near curled up in the prenatal position, as he was thinking how he can blame the continuous failures of his team on someone else, other than himself, despite his being the guy who picks the players, and decides who gets the money.

McCarthy was doomed the day he got there. Jones is always talking about "the next head coach," as a threat to who's there when he says it. It can't sit well with any of them.

But, I see McCarthy getting to boot within the next 24 hours. Jones has to find a scapegoat so he doesn't have to blame himself.

Dak Prescott can't be trusted in the clutch. On the other side there's Jordon Love.

Albert Park nails the Lions Rams game. Well done!

 

[Albert Park]

Wow. You live in hope. But never expect it. A good week all round

I just noticed, OldSchool101 missed the Wildcard Week.

I just noticed, OldSchool101 missed the Wildcard Week.

He did not make it to the playoffs. But like I said he will be a contender for the crown next season.

 

[Poppa San]

I was closer with my unedited choices.

Really the home teams went 5-1. I went 3-3.

For the Wildcard Week Albert Park got a bingo when he picked the Lions 24-23 win over the Rams. He also predicted Buffalo to score 17 points, as did Voyaguer.

PLAYOFF STANDINGS

Player Bingos Rec Pts
Albert Park 1 3-3 225
Cdn Cheddar 0 5-1 175
milani 0 5-1 175
Voyaguer 0 3-3 100
Poppa San 0 3-3 95​

There may be mistakes in the above calculations. If there are any discrepancies in scoring requiring correction, we will forward them to the accounting firm of Peterson, Foster, Olsen (PFO) who will audit your request. They really will.

 

[Poppa San]

Voyaguer 0 3-3 100
Poppa San 0 3-3 95

Why 2 different scores?

 

[Canadian Cheddar]

Because we want Poppa in last place.
Actually, it's because 5 points are given for any correct score predicted. Both Albert Park and Voyaguer picked up 5 more points when they predicted Buffalo's 17 points. It's in the rules (see intro).

 

[OldSchool101]

I just noticed, OldSchool101 missed the Wildcard Week.

Thank You. I just really wanted to put all my energy and focus into how we could annihilate Dallas

I suppose you are now tied up with solving the 49ers issue.

 

[milani]

Why 2 different scores?

They deducted 5 points out of lack of respect. Terrible.
