Basic rules:

1. Picks are to be sent by PM to me (Unless you are facing me, in which case you will send it to a designated player)
2. Picks MUST be in within 10 minutes of game start time.
3. Winner advances, loser is out.

I'll take the picks.

@Camden
Thanks!

---

I am not surprised I was #1 on San Francisco. I had to have picked then as an underdog several times this year. I suspect #2 is either 11-5 or 12-4

I am surprised I had the best NFC South record though. I never particularly thought much of that.

Teams ranked from hardest to pick to easiest to pick:

1. 39.95%Tennessee Titans
2. 42.39%Indianapolis Colts
3. 48.37%Los Angeles Chargers
4. 49.18%Atlanta Falcons
5. 53.80%New York Jets
6. 54.35%Cleveland Browns
7. 55.16%Dallas Cowboys
8. 55.98%Pittsburgh Steelers
9. 56.25%Houston Texans
10. 56.52%Tampa Bay Buccaneers
11. 57.61%Oakland Raiders
12. 57.88%Arizona Cardinals
13. 58.42%Denver Broncos
14. 58.54%Carolina Panthers
15. 59.24%Philadelphia Eagles
16. 59.24%Seattle Seahawks
17. 61.68%Buffalo bills
18. 62.77%Chicago Bears
19. 63.04%Los Angeles Rams

29. 76.36%New England Patriots
30. 76.63%Cincinnati Bengals
31. 77.17%Washington Redskins
32. 77.45%Baltimore Ravens

Everyone probably overestimated the Titans under Mariota and underestimated them under Tannehill
The Colts started out better than most people suspected, but then got progressively worse
The Chargers were all over the place with just 2 home wins and 3 road wins
The Falcons started off really bad, then got a lot better.
The Jets won way more than most people expected them to
The Browns won way less than most people expected them to
The Cowboys underperformed in a lot of games, and then overperformed in others
The Steelers without Roethlisberger weren't quite as finished as some expected.

Unless Ashethan has some picks that were sent earlier before I said I'd take the picks.

---

Nope, don't have any picks from LadyVyxx. I guess she forgot, or didn't realize it continued into the playoffs.

---

gg stripperific, couldnt have been any closer tbh

---

I suppose I advance, barring LadyVyxx having sent her picks somewhere else.

---

Still need a pick from @theawesomestevr

I'm assuming I'll get it, since he usually makes his picks later. But I figured I'd tag him anyway since he hadn't posted in the topic.

You got it. Pretty sure I know what I'm going with, but will consider it a little longer before sending.

Thanks for the reminder though.

Would have seriously considered taking the Vikings here, but I made my pick purely because of Kirk Cousins. So far he hasn't had to do anything though so maybe it was a bad decision... as I typed this up Cousins gets himself sacked by hanging onto the ball forever on 3rd down. More of that please.

I advance on only a FG victory or safety for the Vikings. Swifty wins on anything else.

SwiftyDC Advances!

Worst possible result, but congrats to Swifty.
