VGF NFL Pick Em Post Season Tournament (Top 4)

Eagle Eye · 12-30-2008, 11:08 AM

Contestants:

1. Auron: 162-94 (.633) -
2. Brandon: 159-97 (.621) v
3. SG: 156-100 (.609) -
4. Marchie: 153-103 (.598) v

Rules:
Usually we pit two members against each other to pick a set of games, and whoever has the best record advances. This time, we're going to change it up a little.

Each contestant will need to pick the winner of each game, they will then need to pick what they believe the total amount of points scored for the WHOLE WEEKEND will be.
Instead of the usual W-L, you will be graded on a point system, if you guess a game correctly, you receive 1 pt, and whoever is closest to the total amount of points without going over, will receive an additional 2 points.

Whoever has the most points at the end of the Conference Championships is our winner, should we have a tie, the Superbowl will decide the winner.

So are you ready? Let's get started.

SATURDAY JAN. 3
#5 Atlanta Falcons (11-5) @ #4 Arizona Cardinals (9-7) [4:30 ET, NBC]
#5 Indianapolis Colts (12-4) @ #4 San Diego Chargers (8-8) [8:00 ET, NBC]

SUNDAY JAN. 4
#6 Baltimore Ravens (11-5) @ #3 Miami Dolphins (11-5) [1:00 ET, CBS]
#6 Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1) @ #3 Minnesota Vikings (10-6) [4:30 ET, FOX]

Atlanta Falcons - While I feel the Arizona Cardinals may be the most underrated team coming into these playoffs, the Falcons are more complete on offense. Ryan can throw, and they can also run the ball. If Fitz & Warner connect early though, could be hard for ATL to come back.
Indianapolis Colts - Chargers are just too inconsistent for me to pick them this week. If they ride the streak they've been on, however, I could very well be wrong about this pick.
Baltimore Ravens - Ravens beat them earlier this year, and this team knows how to shut down the run. Without that going for the Fins, they have to rely on the arm of Chad Pennington, which is never a good thing.
Philadelphia Eagles - Though this team is inconsistent, I think the win over Dallas was too decisive to not give them the victory this week. And Philly has been shutting down the run well, without that the Vikes will have to depend on the arm of Tavaris Jackson, which again, is never a good thing.

Yes, I did just pick all 4 wildcard teams.

And Total Score: 150

Falcons - This is going to be a high scroing game, but I think Turner and the Falcons get it done.
Colts - Nice run CHargers, but this is it.
Dolphins - yay for stories of the year
Eagles - Momentum

Total Score: 175
