Um.. Mine is right in my post?

---

I know it doesn't really matter, but I'm a bit salty that Cleveland is losing here.

---

Now I'm upset I didn't pick the Bengals and lock them simply because you picked the Browns and locked them. *sigh*

I honestly thought the Bengals would win, but didn't want to take the risk.

I thought it was probably 50/50, but I had to try. I was close to picking them over Baltimore last week as well even though I didn't think they had a chance.

---

If I was going to take any other upset, it would've been the Raiders.

My "hill to die on" was between them and the Jets.

---

Oh wow I almost forgot

San Francisco 49ers

---

Change to Seahawks

---

Looks like I chose the right hill.

---

Congrats to Camden for locking the most teams this season! +150 tiebreaker points for him!

After spending 4 weeks in 12th, I went from 12th to 4th?

Wow

---

Wait... Shouldn't Camden be ahead of me?

Yeah, he should. I added his bonus points later. Though he picked the Seahawks, so that might not last much longer.

---

I think that was the first time this season that I got all my locks correct. Wow.

---

So with all the times I've just barely missed a bye in this league, I'm going to get a bye because I beat the person in 3rd by five games in week 17?

...Wow.

---

I did take the Packers with my final Lock which if the standings are correct would put me at 260 and only affect seeding with foxhead.

I believe that's correct. I'll leave this up for 48 hours before a new topic, to make sure I haven't missed anything.

Just in case you missed this since I posted it a few seconds before the updated standings.

Edit: personally, I'd rather go up against Camden in a he-locked-more-teams-correctly-than-me revenge game though so I'm fine with whatever.

You're right, I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

If that's right, though Here is the schedule:

BYE:
(1)Silvstedt 169-86-1 [150]
(2)terpaholic 168-87-1 [340]
(3)davidponte 165-90-1 [260]
(4)Crescent-Moon 163-92-1 [290]

(5)LadyVyxx 163-92-1 [240] vs (12)Ashethan 161-94-1 [220]
Tennessee Titans @ New England Patriots

(6)Camden 162-93-1 [350] vs (11)foxhead84 161-941 260
Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles

(7)SwiftyDC 162-93-1 [210] vs (10)theawesomestevr 161-94-1 [250]
Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints

(8)Stripperiffic 162-93-1 [190] vs (9)andel 161-94-1 [380]
Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans

Was tough picking the games, since Camden had a disadvantage in EVERY matchup against foxhead84. But I think this is the best it works out.

---

Also, tiebreaker answer: 755

So the order is basically the same order posted earlier! With Stripperiffic being closest with 729 points (off by 26)

---

Stupid Russell Wilson couldn't pull off the win for me. Also stupid me for making a dumb pick earlier in the season in an attempt at getting more tiebreaker points.

---

hell yeah. i knew it would be close for me making the playoffs but my (380) gave me a little more confidence. really glad i made the playoffs at least

---

also will you explain the rules for playoffs in the new topic? i have been involved in em the last couple years but would like a refresher if possible.

also thanks for running this every year tc! it is always a ton of fun and i like it better than any of these contests on the site. much appreciation for all the work you put in

Here are the playoff rules for anyone who would like to see them;

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vS654SUsTu0k_MEItWT5TNh53FhUUT9VOdYqd3QwqDjEdjfhi2YpdHXi_LuA7o2fvqVroFPSceaOPt3/pub

Simplified:
-Both people pick different teams:
--Whoever picks the right team advances.

-Both people pick the RIGHT team:
--Whoever is closer to the points advances unless equal
---Whoever is closer to passing yards unless equal (Wildcard only goes this far)
----Whoever is closer to rushing yards unless equal (Divisional only goes this far)
-----Whoever is closer to the higher point differential, unless equal (Conference only goes this far)
------Whoever is closer to the number of turnovers, unless equal
-------Whoever is closer to the longest field goal distance, unless equal
--------Whoever is closer to Time of First Score, unless Equal
---------The Higher Seed Wins (Final Tiebreaker for all rounds)

-Both people pick the WRONG team:
--Whoever picks a lower spread that still wins, unless they don't win or are otherwise equal
---Whoever is closer to the points advances unless equal
----Whoever is closer to passing yards unless equal (Wildcard only goes this far)
-----Whoever is closer to rushing yards unless equal (Divisional only goes this far)
------Whoever is closer to the higher point differential, unless equal (Conference only goes this far)
-------Whoever is closer to the number of turnovers, unless equal
--------Whoever is closer to the longest field goal distance, unless equal
---------Whoever is closer to Time of First Score, unless Equal
----------The Higher Seed Wins (Final Tiebreaker for all rounds)

-One user submits no team, the other use submits the right team
--The one who submits the right team obviously advances

-One user submits no team, the other team submits the wrong team
--The one who submitted a team advances

-Both users do not submit a team
--Higher seed advances with a 6 point penalty (So picking the Jets by 7, if the jets win by 7 then you'd be off by 6)

---

Last year's playoffs were really ugly and people kept picking the wrong teams, so the tiebreakers meant a lot.

Not sure I even got one of mine right in this league before the Super Bowl.

I have a feeling I might be getting the 49ers game.. I believe the only time this season I picked against them was when I super locked the Ravens.

..And I'm not sure I'd pick them for round 3 against Seattle. This Seattle team knows the playoffs more than this 49ers team and is less than an inch away from beating them twice.

It's odd for me to feel this way, but I already know 6 of the 8 picks I'm making in the first two rounds.

I only feel good about one match-up this weekend, and I'm not picking that game. I imagine next week will be easier to predict though.

Also, it doesn't matter for playoffs, but Dancedreamer changed to Seahawks last second so I think they should be at 160 wins for the season.
