RotB 2011 Playoff Pick'em: Divisional Round

by Hawkwind on Jan 9, 2012 8:51 PM MST

Wild Card Weekend was deemed by many to be "dull" and the four games on the schedule were likely to be lackluster. For the first time in 22 years, yours truly said "to hell with the playoffs" and didn't watch a single game so I really can't comment on them aside from scratch my head about this Tebow character. Perhaps I ought to catch a game next weekend!

Both az78true and don f earned 39 Pick'em Points for their Houston picks of 27-17 and 24-14 respectively, best for this game. No one picked Detroit to win and many were close to predicting the score, but martinsan91 was closest with a 41-28 prediction and 46 Pick'em Points. People began to see their scores suffer as many had figured the Falcons were good for more than two lousy points; 35 Pick'em Points were the best garnered by hadrarius and JoeCB1991 for their scores of 24-17 and 21-14 respectively. Only one soul had faith in the Broncos and so Thomaldo was well ahead of the rest with his 27 Pick'em Points from his 16-13 prediction.

If your username is in the table found after the jump, you're in the running for the Playoff Pick'em crown. Remember that you need to pick a winner and predict a final score (not total points). Picks need to be in before the Saints/49ers kick-off on Saturday to be valid. Like last week, you're welcome to adjust the final score of a particular game as much as you like before the kick-off of that game. If you miss a game or week, you're out of the running. With another four games this week there should be plenty of opportunities to make up ground or lose it. Good luck!

That's kinda ballsy taking out the defending Champs. It's the playoffs where anything can happen so we'll see.
