Board 8 > NFL Pick'em Topic: Conference Championship

(+) Yeah! (+)

So first off, props to @pronouncemyname above all others for being the only one to call the titans...and get it right. That led to his 4-0 week! However, also congrats to our other 3 who moved on...@davidponte, @Camden, and @chriswar22! Good job guys! The top 4 of the regular season were all eliminated in one fell swoop. Good season though guys.

Sunday, January 19th
3 PM
Tennessee Titans @ Kansas City Chiefs

6:30 PM
Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers

TB1: How many passing touchdowns will be thrown in both games combined?
TB2: How many passing yards will Patrick Mahomes record?
TB3: How many rushing yards will Derrick Henry record?

Since I am now out of this competition, you may PM your picks to me rather than @Arti going forward. Thanks for your help arti!

Titans
49ers

I think this past season was the closest I've ever been to making the playoffs in this league, and as such, I'm not at all salty that the Raiders getting robbed by the refs in Week 17 was the difference in me not making the playoffs, and, furthermore, that I would have gone 2-2 and then 3-1 these last two weeks. Also, no, no other game this season was corrupted by bad officiating, and even if there was one, only the Raiders/Broncos game of super-ultra-ultimate importance should matter just in case that's what you were thinking.

After congratulating myself on a tremendous season by my standards, I'd like to wish good luck to both davidponte and Camden who are both in play for the double Board 8 NFL Picks championship.

Congratulations, theawesomestevr, on on another failed pick 'em season, and good luck davidponte and Camden on achieving the ultimate dream of winning both picks leagues in one season. Only one of you can do it, but so can neither of you, so try hard, and make good picks. Don't let this amazing opportunity pass you by! Pick the Titans with no regrets!

Maybe don't do that last part, but I almost certainly would.

I believe.

It was fun knowing everyone's picks for these last two weeks

Trying to figure out who to pick this week: https://gfycat.com/embarrassedthosebison

My pick is in, good luck everyone! This is the least confident I have felt in my tiebreakers so far, so we'll see how it goes.

---

I still need picks from @pronouncemyname

Titans
49ers

TB1: 11
TB2: 400
TB3: 185

Chriswar had titans
David and Camden had chiefs
---

Damn, I went Chiefs to hedge my bets even though I want the Titans to win. Should have just picked them!
---

NGL I keep going Titans because Tannehill carried my fantasy teams in the second half of the season >.>

Would it be correct to assume that everyone took the 49ers and this game is all that matters?

---

I can't divulge that information as it would allow someone who thought they were on the losing end to change their pick before the game starts. Since as I said in the WC round you can still change picks via PM to me before the game starts.
---

The desperation switch to Packers is still an option!

Ok...I'm gonna assume that everybody picked the niners, and my only chance to stay alive is the desperation switch.

Emeraldegg can you switch my second pick from the 49ers to the Packers?

Let's all switch to the Packers
---

Everyone did pick 9ers except now for chriswar
---

How're those tiebreakers looking
---

TB1: How many passing touchdowns will be thrown in both games combined?
TB2: How many passing yards will Patrick Mahomes record? - 294
TB3: How many rushing yards will Derrick Henry record? - 69 (nice)

400
185

Damn, knew I went too high on the first one. If the Packers win I'm out unless they explode for 7+ passing TDs.
---

Feeling okay so far.

By the way this is why picks need to be locked.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean people switching if they think they're behind? What's wrong with that? They're operating at the same level of info as everyone else, and it's not really any different than the myriad of people who pick differently on purpose the last couple of weeks during the regular season to try to make up ground. Guys should be allowed to throw a hail mary pass if they feel like it's their best option to advance imo.

Picking the favourites shockingly continues to work out!

I'm 100% going with the 49ers, so if @Camden is on the Chiefs we can save everyone some time!
---

I'm leaning 49ers at the moment, but it's not a particularly strong lean. Doesn't help that I'm rooting for KC.
