What happens in the event of a tie? Do we split the shirt in two?

Thanks for the quick results Frank. Looks like a ton of people got all four.

I like Seattle; that's a really good football team.

I'm definitely rooting for Seattle the rest of the way. I'm a Bears fan, and hate the Packers, so that's easy... Aside from that, when I was younger, I played baseball with a kid named Chris Maragos who ended up walking on at Wisconsin and made the football team, and then signed as an undrafted free agent in 2010 with the 49ers - and now is with the Seahawks.

I wish I would have seen this before the games started!

Just for fun, I'll pick the winners for this week:

New England Patriots
Denver
Green Bay Packers
Seattle Seahawks

Some storylines that I think we'll all be hearing:

Oh no! We made a mistake with Kaepernick! (After he is intercepted multiple times, and faces pressure he isn't used to.)

Atlanta can't win a playoff game.

Tie Breaker explained
 

There's is a tie breaker over/under contest for the Super Bowl. Closest guess to the total points in the Super Bowl wins the whole shirt. :)

Duplicate guesses in this round will not be allowed.:mad:

Only those with a chance of winning, who will be identified in advance, will be entered in the over/under event. ;)

If this doesn't break the tie (one entrant 2 points over and one entrant 2 points under), I guess we'll have to split the shirt. Over gets the left side and Under gets the right side. :D

Oh well, 3 out of 4 - I should lose a point for not realizing that the Bengals haven't won a road playoff game since.....ever.

That should work. It's better then my solution of a three day battle royale.:)

only two right

Talkin smack: Kaepernick goes down, Alex Smith steps in and goes 13 for 16 but the Niners fall short... Smith traded to Jets for a 2nd round pick but the Jets still go 6-10 in 2013-14...Peterson rushes for 2173 yards...Obama cuts everyone's tax bill.. and then I woke up and saw I went 1-3 betting the 'dogs on Net 54...what do I know...:eek:

Sorry you missed out Jeff. You're a very good player.:)

Only 3 Houston picks so far.

Only 4 Baltimore picks so far.

Nobody has had the guts to pick the Baltimore-Houston daily double though.

With twelve more yet to check in, let's see if someone wants to differentiate themselves from the pack. It could make a difference.

Next weeks game on Sunday
Post before 2 PM ET Sunday afternoon.
The Games are worth 3 points each.

San Francisco at Atlanta 3 PM EST
Baltimore at New England (late game I'm guessing)

Remember if your team doesn't win, the other team will.

Two of my four teams blew leads with under a minute to go and with the opposing team deep in their own territory. How can you predict that? For next week I'll take:

San Francisco
New England

Not that it matters at this point, but I will take:

49ers
Patriots

championship week
 

49ers

thanks for running this tournament.

Ill have to say Atlanta and Baltimore for the points.

Only because I neglected to spend any money wagering this year so far, should I jinx myself. Tim

San Francisco
New England

I'm going with Atlanta & Baltimore this week

Well, I'm far enough back, that I'd need a miracle at this point anyways. So I'm going with what I believe were my picks from last year.
