2011-12 Championship Round - Football Pool

[Rael]

The FINAL FOUR line up on Sunday, Jan 22 to determine who advances to the Super Bowl. In the first match-up, top seed Softballkid hosts 7th seed Merlin99. Softballkid holds the tiebreaker advantage from finishing the regular season with 175 points over Merlin99's 166 (both have 39 playoff tiebreaker points going into this round). In the second match-up it's homedepot20 against donbarzini (fifth and sixth seeds respectively), who holds the tiebreaker advantage with 49 playoff points over homedepot20's 40.

60 possible points to be made for each player with 26 picks to be made (13 in each game). Below, I've listed all of the picks you need to make and placed the points you''ll earn if you're correct next to each.

Need a lot of categories as you get fewer players for tie breaking. But then again, I could just ask "who do you think will win", also.

More than likely so

I'm going to go with under.

Rael check out game 2 line 11, I'm going to go with under.

I hope its a typo and should be Giants

 

[Rael]

I'LL say! 100% chance of that. You'll win every time with odds like that.

After the hard time that I have given him the past 2 weeks, trying to under the points and all, he's proably relieved I didnt advance.

Goodluck to all the players.

 

[homedepot20]

I was hoping you would have advance so we can have a 1 on 1 matchup! You gave me a hard time over on the Nascar and I was hoping for a little pay back . Can't wait for Feb 26 for the season to begin again

It was no problem at all for me. If I expect everyone to understand 'em, I have to be ready to 'splain 'em.

And it really isn't supposed to be easy, it's supposed to be difficult. It's the playoffs, right?

You should be good (unless you change your mind before kick-off, which of course you can change any picks up until then), but I'll check with DueWhat anyway.

 

[Rael]

Okay...

here's what we got for picks...

Plenty of differences, should make for two good match-ups. Remember, you can change any of your picks up until kick off of game 1. If you do, let me know. I'll post the change to this picks card before the game.

Also, please let me know if I made an error.

Good luck!

I could make it easy on you, Merlin and myself for that matter, and just change my stuff to match him EXACTLY, and just go with the Ravens winning

 

[Softballkid]

And Good Luck everyone

And Merlin, if you win, I know snipers.... just letting you know













Just playin... good luck

 

[Merlin99]

And Good Luck everyone

And Merlin, if you win, I know snipers.... just letting you know


Just playin... good luck

I guess it comes down to who has the better sniper, I bet mine has the advantage in a wooded area.


Good luck anyways.

 

[Rael]

First sack goes to the Patriots. Non-factor in both match-ups today, though.

 

[Rael]

1st penalty - Ravens.

1st to score - Patriots
