Welcome to the playoff edition of the fourteenth season of the NFL “Pick the Winners” game here at the Sports board! :wave For those who have played this game before, you know how the drill goes. If you are new to the game, it’s pretty simple. During each week of the season, there will be a thread posted with that week’s slate of games. It is your job to pick the winners of each match-up and place a point value on it.

At the conclusion of each week, we will add up the total points and crown a “Pick the Winners” champion. Over the course of the season, we will keep a list of the weekly champions and a running point total for each participant. At the end of the season, the person(s) with the highest point total and/or best record and/or closest to the actual score of the Super Bowl will be crowned the playoff winner. Sounds pretty simple, right? So, join in! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

Remember, you must have your picks posted by the deadline listed, so make sure to double-check to make sure your picks are correct before then. Also, once the deadline listed passes, your picks are locked in.

The rules are basically the same as the regular season, except there fewer games to work with. So there will be a slight change to the rules just for the playoffs:

There are 11 games in the playoffs.

4 Wild Card
4 Divisional Playoff
2 Conference Championship
1 Superbowl

11 total games, so everyone will get the numbers 1-11 to use.

As normal, In round 1, you pick the four winners, and give each of them a number as to the likelihood of that team's victory. for example:

Team A beats Team B (6)
Team C beats team D (10)
Team E beats Team F (2)
Team G Beats Team H (9)

Say you get the first three right, but miss the last one. You get 18 points. Now in round two, you pick again, but you have already used 6, 10, 2, and 9, so you can't assign those values anymore. And we'll keep a running tab on the values you've already assigned.

Team I beats Team A (11)
Team J beats Team C (4)
Team E beats Team K (8)
Team L beats Team H (7)

This time, you get the last two, but miss the first two. So now you have 33 points. And only the values 1, 3, and 5 left for the two semi finals and the Superbowl.

Do you follow?

The Patriots defense is very disappointing today. I stopped watching the game. They're letting Forsett run all over em for for some strange reason. Think I can count on the Seahawks winning today though the way this season has gone who knows?

[The Survivor]

What a game all the way to the end. Glad my Patriots won though. Another 4th straight AFC championship game. Hope they win next week against Colts or Broncos.

ETA:: Good dominating performance by the Seahawks over the Panthers.

Omg that game was insane. I almost had a heart attack.

[The Survivor]

I know I was screaming throughout the game when it looked it wasn't gonna go the Ravens way. This game was a classic.

I am really looking forward to Packers/Cowboys game tomorrow.

Me too crazy , the flea flicker from Edelman to Amandola was F'n crazy . I really thought Carolina was hanging in there til middle of third Q .

Harbaugh bitched about Patriots calling audibles on eligible ineligible receivers .. Thus why he got the Unsportsmanlike conduct for coming on the field ..

17 pts so far

I screamed so loud when Edelman threw that td pass to Amendola. Never thought they would do something like that.
