The U'sual NFL PL Week 17 of 17, deadline: Sunday at 18:00, MFB's Pick-8 15:50 - Dec 22 with 935 viewsBarsidepete

The table: (tie-breaker, pick percentage, then first to post)

MFB_CUFC ....... (6-2)...... 81-47
RSCOSWORTH... (6-2)...... 78-50
Sarboy.............. (4-4)...... 76-44
Leadbelly........... (6-2)...... 75-53
thrillseeker........ (7-1)...... 75-53
durham_exile..... (4-4)...... 74-54
gerry_us ............ (5-3)...... 74-54
Barsidepete........ (2-6)...... 47-75

As it stands, Superb Owl seedings (2-leg quarterfinals, higher seed has automatic tie-breaker, first to post will not apply in the playoffs -- only 2 of 4 picks may be the same as your opponent, weeks "18 and 19," two lowest seeded division winners v two wild cards in both the AFC and NFC ("week 18," playoffs week 1), then top two seeds in each conference versus the winners from Playoff Week 1 ("week 19," playoffs week 2), to determine the AFC and NFC championship game before the Super Bowl in Arizona)

1. MFB v 8. Barside
2. RSCOSWORTH v 7. Gerry
3. Sarboy v 6. Durham
4. Leadbelly v 5. Thrillseeker

Results:

Baltimore 13 at HOUSTON 25
DETROIT 20 at Chicago 14
ATLANTA 30 at New Orleans 14
Kansas City 12 at PITTSBURGH 20
NEW ENGLAND 17 at NY Jets 16
Indianapolis 7 at DALLAS 42
SEATTLE 35 at Arizona 6
Denver 28 at CINCINNATI 37

...

MFB_CUFC's final week pick-8 .. playoff seedings at stake.

CAROLINA PANTHERS at ATLANTA FALCONS -- Panthers/Falcons winner wins NFC South. Saints eliminated from contention, defeated by Atlanta.
CLEVELAND BROWNS at BALTIMORE RAVENS -- Ravens still with a playoff shot.
DETROIT LIONS at GREEN BAY PACKERS -- both 11-4. Winner is NFC North champ.
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS -- both remain in contention for a wild card.
CHICAGO BEARS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS -- regional derby but no playoff implications.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at NEW YORK GIANTS -- Eagles clinging to dear life for a post-season place.
CINCINNATI BENGALS at PITTSBURGH STEELERS -- Winner is the AFC North champ.
ARIZONA CARDINALS at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS -- Arizona (11-4), already in the playoffs, still have a punter's chance at the NFC West ... Super Bowl champion holders SEATTLE also 11-4 but with the tie-breaker, home v St Louis Rams this final regular season weekend, so Seahawks have to lose and Cardinals win for Cards to take the division.

Plenty more updates to follow during this pivotal week.

MFB may select -- well, because our rules are not medieval and rewritten during the term -- merely 2 different at minimum than James (RSCO) ... but would be cool, MFB, if you select 3 different. Let's have a true final. Just saying

Otherwise post only two not-the-same and you are the Champ. You earned it over a grueling 17 week season, but you may also not want to face me as the top playoff seed. I'm a past playoff champ as well

Generally this PL is self-explanatory, so I don't feel compelled always to highlight the obvious. I mean, just look at the table, look, Gerry managed a 7-1. Well done. But it's about the seedings and you can grab all the attention you like by defeating your opponent in the two-leg quarterfinals.

But seriously, your form has definitely improved and I believe you may be the best picker lately of us all

It is permissible for RSCOSWORTH to change/edit any predictions, but with MFB_CUFC with a three point gap, that would negate the first-to-post tie-breaker for RS, and as a result MFB would capture the first-to-post, although he posted second.

Two predictions different from RSCO as it stands. So RS would need an edit to reflect 4 different outcomes and finish one point higher than Mick.

I did the math and predicting 5 different would not add a statistical advantage.

So unless RSCOSWORTH edits his post it is all about Mick and Sarboy.

Sarboy needs to predict 5 different from MFB and get those nails-on. He would win the title based on best pick precetage.

Lookout for final playoff seedings on Sunday

Merry Christmas, all! Couldn't have this PL without you ...

5 need to be different from Mfb, Sar. (to make up the 5 pts, best pick percentage would do that... Otherwise our champ is crowned.

*still playoff seedings to play for, though. Best to avoid me in the playoff quarters

RSCOSWORTH has edited his predictions, now with 4 different than MFB.

That means Mfb, although he picked 2nd --meaning after RS -- Mick has secured for the time being the first to post tie-breaker as a result of the edit. So RS needs 4 more correct than Mfb to win the League.

MFB is welcome to edit his just to take the piss -- but then James will again have the first to post if you edit, Mick

Got it. Thanks MFB,.. definitely assumed you'd use your edit "wild card" (as you also, frankly, permit in your own league) after RSCOSWORTH made his revisions. But having said that, well, what can I say? cheers for making week 17 a compelling must-see. MOTD.

NO MORE EDITS PERMITTED from either RSCO or MFB. ANY newly altered pick will not count a point.

With MFB's edit, RSCO again has the first-to-post tiebreaker, but needs 3 more points than Mick to nick the title, otherwise it will be 2nd or 3rd seed in the playoffs for James.

Good luck all

Ah, nice one. So we have the top three all in it on the final week of the regular season.

Today's games on tv:

San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs **Sky Sports 2 (18:00)
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons **Sky Sports 2 (21:25)
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers **Channel 4, UK (01:30)

Reminder that deadline for the wild card round of the NFL playoffs next weekend will be Saturday rather than Sunday. Two games on Saturday and two on Sunday.

That will be the first leg of The U'sual PL's quarterfinals. As soon as match-ups are known they will be posted. Higher seed has automatic tie-breaker. No first-to-post tie-breaker. 2 of 4 must be different than your opponent.

Will post my week 17's shortly.

You need one of those Vegas pick-3 parlays. Meaning the three you disagree on (you have the first to post). Nothing less will do. Sarboy has to get all 5 different correct (best pick percentage)

Anyone within a shout of the title or maybe it's more about the playoff seedings:

CLEVELAND BROWNS 10 at BALTIMORE RAVENS 3 (late 3rd quarter)
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS 7 at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 19 (late 3rd)
CHICAGO BEARS 6 at MINNESOTA VIKINGS 10 (early 4th)
