Announcement:
Someone has brought up a concern that the first tiebreaker was unclear. What I *meant* was any offensive player catching a touchdown from his own quarterback, not things like pick 6s and the like. However, if everyone else feels this is in error and unclear, I will strike TB1 and simply have TB2 and 3 be the deciders. Just post in here if you do not want TB1, but it will take at least 5/8 competitors for me to strike it. I personally did not think it would be a big deal, but if it is, let me know. I am relyinng on the honor system here, no blatant "Oh my TB1 is off after game 1 so I don't want you to count it." shenanigans.

I'll say that I'm fine with TB1 as is. The way I read it was offensive TD catches specifically.

Fine with it as is

fine with TB1, I read it as offensive touchdown reception

I'd assumed it was offensive TDs but admittedly didn't overthink it too much

A pick 6 is not "catching a touchdown pass" and it's pretty clear what you meant.

You can catch one from a non-QB on offense though.

well idk about y'all but my TB2 is pretty ****ed, I couldn't bring myself to predict 40+ points of margin on a divisional playoff weekend

Same.

I also had a perfect TB1. Except I changed it a little bit before the first kickoff (and it was my only change)

I accounted for one blowout win in my tb2 so if the next games are close I'll be in the ballpark, but my tb1 is too high so it probably won't matter.

Joke's on you guys, it's 8-0. 8-0. 4-4. 8-0. and your tiebreakers don't matter!

Well I'm 2-1 with the 49ers in this game and a TB1 of 6 (was originally 5) and a horrendous TB2 of 27.

So I'd imagine I'm definitely out with a Cowboys win and on the fence with a 49ers win

also 2-1 with Niners and TB1 was 6... and TB2 was 26...

Can someone just confirm what I'm seeing that only 5 players caught a TD in the saturday games, before I post results?

5 was my tally

kirk
smith
goedert

yes

Okay, then here we go!
thekitchensink, koala, & lefty all went 4-0 so they're in. fortybelowsummer went 2-2 so he's out.
With tb1 being 5, shattered HBJDubs & Nick all guessed 6 on it, cody guessed 8 so he's out. For TB2, the margin of victory was 62, and everyone went super low. However, shattered was the closest by 1/2 points (27, dubs went 25 & nick went 26) so he advances!

Your final 4 are:
thekitchensink
Kommunistkoala
Lefty
Shattered

Man I would have had it on TB2. Best of luck to the final four!

Oh only 3 of you had the Bengals.

Tsk tsk.

Me too, maybe! Also not picking the Bills and Cowboys and having 9 as tb1!

Good luck to the final 4
