(+) Yeah! (+)

Playoff Rules:
1. Pick one team from each game you think will win.
2. All picks are locked in at kickoff.
3. The top two predictors will advance to the Super Bowl.
4. All game and tiebreaker picks must be sent to me via PM.

The following users must pick both games:
2. @davidponte
3. @Cody11533
11. @VeryInsane
12. @5tarscream

(3) Jacksonville Jaguars @ (1) New England Patriots

2. Passing yards by Blake Bortles.
3. Total rushing yards in the NFC Championship game.

---

pick the jags someone dont be lame
---

My picks are in.
---

I'm glad there's only one day of games this week

not being able to say anything is a lot less stressful this way
---

I guess I will say I was not gutsy enough to pick the Jags

But I hope they do win even if I get knocked out for it
---

Did I win
---

everyone picked NE/MIN

enjoy the tiebreakers!!!
---

It all comes down to my tiebreaker.

Glorious.
---

The lack of field goals in this game is killing my tiebreaker.
---

we call that "just deserts"
---

for the record, the breakdown on who advances

davidponte - 313
Cody11533 - 151
VeryInsane - 300
5tarscream - 385

<232: Cody/VI
232-342: VI/david
343+: david/5tar

VI is pretty much a lock to advance barring something ridiculous, and Cody's sitting quite comfortable
---

Wait really

Man do I really have to pick Pats/Eagles bleh
---

Damn.
---

I had a good run from 12th. Was that david's tiebreaker that knocked him out?
---

it was, in fact, his own tiebreaker

@Cody11533 @VeryInsane each of you gets to pick two tiebreakers - please be nice
---

I just want everyone to know that I've learned nothing from this and will continue to create terrible tiebreakers in the future.
---

I hope you never make the playoffs higher than 12th ever again
---

My tiebreaker knocked me out.

david's tiebreaker knocked him out.

I'd be careful in your pick of tiebreaker, Cody.

Is the Super Bowl structured the same way as the rest of the playoffs, with picking the winner and then the 4 tiebreakers numbered 1-4?

Well I can't do Blake Bortles passing yards again, so I'll have to come up with something else.

I mean, technically you could.
