Sent. Also, do the "price is right" rule are in effect for the tiebreaker or just the closest. I would have to change my picks if so
---

bah, I knew I was forgetting something

the price is right rule is only in effect if all four tiebreakers are somehow exhausted and still tied
---

Done.

Are picks locking at any point to keep people honest?
---

I don't think I've ever actually had that be an issue before

if I revealed picks game by game, it might be a minor issue, but I generally don't say anything until the last game has started, so...
---

Fuck I'm done
---

I hate tiebreakers so much.

Usually I go 3-1 (one year even 4-0) and get murdered by tiebreakers. Now I'm 1-2 with a perfect first tiebreaker and might be in better shape at 1-2 than I usually am at 3-0 depending how many upsets were picked.

I was rooting for Bryant to make that 54 yard kick even though it probably put the team I picked away because if it stayed on 50 I was dead probably no matter what.

That's ****ed up man.
---

You took the Bills?
---

Everyone took the Chiefs, Rams and Saints; Nick and ZSig took the Bills.

TBs:
VI - 55
5tar - 54
Blade - 54
Crescent - 53
---
Dp - 52
foxhead - 49

So yeah, enjoy the last game however you want because it doesn't matter it all!
---

I thought I was already in or already out, and that nailing the tiebreaker probably meant in.

I can make it at 1-3 after constantly losing at 3-1 lolme
---

Wow I was really thinking hard on Falcons/Rams too

Oh well guess all it mattered was if I have an edge
---

If McCoy were 100% I'd probably have been on Buffalo. I really wanted to pick them, but I just couldn't see them moving the ball well enough without him in perfect shape. That was the only upset I seriously considered.

In hindsight I should've considered Atlanta because I think resting young teams is more likely to backfire than work, I just don't actually think they're good.
---

I probably would've taken Atlanta

mostly out of a desire to see it happen >_>
---

So.. With my tiebreaker where it was, so long as the Jaguars won I was going to advance no matter what else happened.

Fluky but ok. Interesting that the two leagues have such a different playoff structure.

So am I in or out?

I thought for sure I was out but I'm confuised.
---

VI - 55
5tar - 54
Blade - 54
Crescent - 53

These 4 are in no matter what happens in this game, so this includes you.

good thing i had a bye week to save me from picking the Bills
---

@MysteriousStan @davidponte @Cody11533 @Xuxon please send me a TB by the end of the day Tuesday

any officially-tracked stat is fine
---

My goal is to come up with something even more ridiculous than I did last year.
---

Oh snap. Cool
---

Are we waiting for many tiebreakers?
---

I sent mine in.
---

the topic will either be posted on Wednesday or when I get all the TBs; whichever comes first
---

I sent mine in.

I hope it's the number TDs thrown by QBs to themselves.

Just sent mine in.

That would be too easy! I wanted to offset how bad I am at getting tiebreakers accurate by creating one that is a complete crapshoot.
---

Yds gained on the 24th play of the game?
---

That might be too evil
---

24th play of the game is not technically officially tracked
---

David "mad genius" ponte gonna get us all mass eliminated at once

No champion this year folks let's pack it up
---

Sent my tiebreaker in, I may have been the last one.
