Board 8 > NFL Pickem Topic: Wild Card Round

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome contestants! Congrats again to everyone making it this far, and congrats again to Cody11533 for being our regular season victor! Tremendous job!

So for the playoffs, as discussed previously, the top 4 on the season get a bye this week, which makes our remaining contestants this week:
fortybelowsummer
terpaholic
kenrmcha
Nick
Leonhart4
Ulti
thekitchensink
HBJDubs

-As per usual I will provide a list of picks. However, unless you want everyone to see your picks, you are advised to PM me your picks, as the odds of metagaming is a lot higher with fewer people, it's easier to do. Not calling anyone dishonest or anything just, be aware that is a risk you take if you choose to make your picks public.
-I will also post three tiebreakers. Unfortunately, unlike the regular season, we must have some cuts in the playoffs, so the closer you get on the tiebreakers the better off you are. And it's not price is right rules, if the answer is 10, and someone guess 9 and another 11, both are the same, which means going to TB2 and so on. TB1 > TB2 > TB3, so if you nailed TB 2 and 3 but completely whiffed on 1, that's no good. If someone happens to tie on all 3 TBs, I'll have to flip a coin.
-You are allowed to change your picks (Same timing rules apply) but try not to spam my inbox, thanks. If there's any questions, feel free to ask! Anyway, here we go:

Saturday, January 14th (4:30 PM, 8:15 PM)
Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers
Los Angeles Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Sunday, January 15th (1 PM, 4:30 PM, 8:15 PM)
Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills
New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals

Monday, January 16th (8:15 PM)
Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

TB1: How many total TDs will be thrown on Saturday games?
TB2: How many total rushing yards will be accrued on Sunday games?
TB3: What will be the length of the longest made field goal during the wild card round?

Also, as an aside, Ulti please post in this topic prior to sending me picks, just confirming what account you plan to use so I can unblock it for the duration of the contest since you got your other one banned. I will post a response here confirming I've done so, you can then send picks after that.

Tag for later

wow that kick was perfect. that's gotta be tb3, 56 yards

Tiebreaker 1 answer: 10

Tiebreaker 2 answer: 558

Made a pretty good guess for this one!

Man I was way high on tb2, hope it doesn't come down to that. 4 teams under 70 yards, that has to be an anomaly

It's fine, my TB1 is really bad so I probably won't even get to benefit from a good TB2

Results time!

First off, we had 3 people go 5-1: thekitchensink, HBJDubs, & fortybelowsummer, so they advance which left one spot up for grabs.

For TB1, the answer was 10 total pass TDs on the saturday games, and of the 4 remaining people who went 4-2, Leon guessed 4, terpaholic guessed 6, kenrmcha guessed 7, and Nick guessed 9, which means nick grabs the last spot! Great job everyone, and better luck next year for those who didn't advance. Next topic will go up later today.

thekitchensink (5-1)
HBJDubs (5-1)
fortybelowsummer (5-1)
Nick (4-2, 10)
-------------------------------
kenrmcha (4-2, 7)
terpaholic (4-2, 6)
Leonhart4 (4-2, 4)
Ulti (3-3)

Yeah, I knew I was boned after Saturday. Oh well. It was a fun year!

Wow you weren't joking about that TB being awful

Fun year, looking forward to next season

I have never made the playoffs before or even come close so I'm sure I'm going to badly fumble the bag this week

I expected more rushing TDs in Seattle/SF and for it to be a lower scoring game, whoops!

I also guessed four. I thought one game would have bad weather and the other had two atrocious rush defenses.

Can't go 0-3 in all the debatable games and advance, so I'm not surprised. I had lots of fun though, and thanks Egg for once again doing an A+ hosting job!
