Overall we had a very bad week. I think NE Nitemare was the only one to get 5 games right.
Indeed, the Nitemare brought his game back and that pushed him all the way to number 2, just 20 points off Wolfy, who kept the lead:

Will post picks for the weekend games tomorrow. But you all know what those games are.

So far everyone has picked SF (5 for 48 points, 3 for 36, and 1 for 25), Baltimore (4-3-2), and Detroit (3 for 36, 4 for 24, 2 for 12.)

Buffalo have a narrow 5-4 lead in the other gane. Ponchi and fastbackss both have Buffalo for 24 which is our biggest potential swing this weekend.

Expect next week to be the week where most of us are stuck making crazy picks :)

It was time to take the risk.

I thought about taking Houston, but in the end, I couldn't pull the trigger on that one!! Houston has played well, it seems to me taking the Ravens out at home will be a tall task, we will find out in a few hours.

Even Buffalo at 24 isn’t much of a risk :)

It would have been silly to take Houston while sitting in second. If I was farther behind than third I sure might have though!

After reading your analysis, I said what the h*#l, changed my pick, and decided to swing for the fences, lol! :mrgreen:

Might not make much of a difference though… if your picks all win changing KC to 48 won’t ultimately change your score :)

Down to the last game.
If the home teams sweep, it is not only that fastbackss and I get the big 24 points. It is that we also get the 30 points bonus.
So, sorry fastbackss. We won't get it because there is no way I get 4 games right. And Wolfy also has the four games, so he will remain ahead of everybody.

Will the prowess of Wolfy & NE Nitemare be enough to overcome that then? :)

Me and 3 others have the other four so it’s going to be a big swing based on this game.

Sorry Omega, swinging for the fences is at best going to you no gain :)

With Wolfy an NE Nitemare only getting the 12 point game wrong... it looks like it's still a very tight 5 person race at the top. Think it's only 37 point difference between 1st and 5th.

It got really cramped at the top, indeed.
Those of us below that now how to expect major upsets in the Conf Finals.

The three people at the top kept their places:

So now, we only have the SB to go. Since the people in 2 and 3 will need to make the opposite pick to #1 in order to win, this time please send your picks as a PM to me.
I will simply post a list of who has submitted a pick, which I will do in this topic. I WILL NOT OPEN A SB PICK TOPIC, AS IT WILL BE BASICALLY EMPTY.
You have until SB Sunday to submit.
