2022 N.F.L. Playoffs Pick the Winners Wildcard weekend thread (deadline Saturday, January 15th at 4:30 P.M. EST)
Welcome to the playoff edition of the 17th 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 13 games in the playoffs Super Bowl LV AFC Champion vs. NFC Champion in Tampa, 6:30 p.m. ET (CBS) Sunday Febuary 7 plese note this season two more teams added to the playoffs 4 Wild Card 4 Divisional Playoff 2 Conference Championship 1 Superbowl 13 total games, so everyone will get the numbers 1-13 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? Wildcard Weekend: Here is the complete wild card weekend schedule: Saturday, January 15th Las Vegas @ Cincinnati 4:30 P.M. EST New England @ Buffalo 8:15 P.M. EST Sunday, January 16th Philadelphia @ Tampa Bay 1:00 A.M. EST San Francisco @ Dallas 1:30 P.M. EST Pittsburgh @ Kansas City 8:15 P.M. EST Monday, January 17th Arizona @ L.A. Rams 8:15 P.M.

Oops. Yeah. On Google, since I'm out west it gives the times in the Pacific Time Zone when I search for sports scheduled on there, but I'll fix it.

I needed to check to see how many N.F.L. games that there will be this year. There's going to be 11 I see. I did fix the early Sunday game. That game is scheduled for 10:00 A.M. Pacific Time not 10:00 P.M. in any of the North American Time Zones.
Kansas City 11 Tampa Bay 10 Cincinnati 7 Buffalo 6 Dallas 5 Arizona 4 __________________

Oh? Why not? I prefer playoff games at least to begin at Noon Pacific Time or later honestly. Of course with recording devices nowadays it's easy to go back to a game later to watch if some miss it.
