PLAYOFFS - WILDCARD ROUND
Four games to determine who advances to the divisional round next week. Division winners must also pick this week for tiebreaker purposes even though there is no direct competition for them this week (sort of a "bye" - it just looks like they have a week off by letting the lower seeds duke it out). Seeds and brackets:
These 4 will advance to the divisional round to go against the winners of the competitive brackets.
1. Softballkid (division winner)
2. thurley42 (division winner)
3. puggymom (division winner)
4. retiredweaxman (division winner)
Competitive brackets - only the 4 winners of these 4 brackets will advance to the divisional round next week.
5. homedepot20 vs. 12. Bay Kat
6. donbarzini vs. 11. FireBrand
7. Merlin99 vs. 10. Wildcat97
8. OldHillcrestGuy vs. 9. Tilted

All picks must be either posted or pm'd to me by midnight Friday, Jan 6th (changes may be made up until the first kick-off, though). No changes for any games will be allowed (Sat or Sun) once the first kick-off begins on Saturday, Jan 7th (around 4:30 p.m.). If you feel like you don't want your opponent to see your picks, pm them to me. If it doesn't matter to you, you can post them...either way is okay.
Each of the four lines in the above pdf attachment shows two things:
- the line (or point spread) for that game
- the total points which the Vegas point setters determined will likely be scored in that game
1. You’ll have 8 initial choices to make this week
- a team pick for each game based upon the spread (4 total)
- whether the total points scored will be "over or under" the listed total points for each game (4 total). Any pushes will be zero points for both contenders.
2. After making your eight picks, assign your confidence level to each of them from eight (your most confident pick) down to one (your least confident pick). 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 must all be assigned. Adding them up, this equates to 36 possible points for you this week.
Example: Of all eight choices you make, if you have the most confidence that the total points scored in the Steelers/Broncos will be less than 34.5 points, you'd assign your "8" to that pick. If you're right and the total score is less than 34.5 points, you'll get 8 points to your credit. If the total score is above 34.5 points, you won't get any points for that pick.
All I need from you is your 4 team picks, your 4 overs/unders, and the 8 confidence numbers you assign to each.
The Most Important Thing For All Contenders - If you have ANY questions/confusion on how this works, feel free to ask in either a post or pm. The sooner the better will give you more time for your picks.
Good luck, all.
Don't forget, the color commentary begins at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday right here on SoMD.com. Be there.
