Hey, something to think about - how do we want to work the playoffs?
I say we still pick straight and against the spread with a POTW.
No Upset special because you might not pick a dog with only 4 games.
You still get 25 credits to work with, but can't put more than 15 on any one game in the first two rounds.
Conference Championships and Super Bowl you get 25 credits with no limit.
You don't have to use all your money credits in the playoffs if you don't want to, since there's so few games. In real life if you didn't like the spreads on the 2 Conference Championship games, you wouldn' be forced to plunk down a ton of cash.
Super Bowl is automatically the POTW and worth 5 points vs. the Spread.
Now for the picks...
Straight:
NE
BUF
TB
CIN
PIT
CLE
GB
HOU
CHI
WAS
MIN
SEA
SD
ARZ
NYJ
TEN
Vs. Spread:
NE -14 POTW
BUF +7.5
TB +2.5
CIN -2.5
PIT -3.5
SF +10.5
GB -3.5
HOU -6
CHI +2 Upset Special
WAS -9
MIN -3
SEA +1
SD -8
STL +6
KC +6
TEN -6.5
Money:
NE x 10
SD x 5
TEN x 5
CIN x 5

Better than 7-9 picking normally.
And what happened to Whiskey? Did he think this was like Fantasy Football and Week 17 didn't count?

Haha yeah I guess.
Nah, he was actually on vacation from like Thursday through Sunday night I believe it was. My guess is that's why he didn't make his picks.
Award for perfect attendance to me for (I believe) managing to pick something for every game this season!

Tuesday through Sunday, sorry for not making my picks. you had this one all wrapped up Derok, you showed your picking skills are more refined than mine, that's for sure. I thought this was fun though!
Are we doing a playoff version??

Are we going to start our point totals over for the playoffs, or continue on?
My vote would be to start anew to more accurately gauge the playoffs only.

We can start anew. After everything is said an done, I can tally everything together just so we can all have our "total" stats. I actually started doing this on my own from Week 1, so I have a full season's worth of picks. Straight and Vs. Spread are decent for me. My money picks are horrible. Down over 5K.

Sounds good to me. Either way, it's a pretty sweet game/contest you developed. I'm excited to keep doing it in the future... Anyway we could modify this to the NBA, without having to pick every single game every day??? Thoughts?
