NFL PL Wk 17 of 18, Playoff Week 2 of 4. Deadline Sat. 1-14 at 21:35 17:25 - Jan 9 with 684 viewsWessiehomesPete

TINJAKE has a perfect 4-0 and climbs level on points with MFB_CUFC with only 2 weeks remaining in the regular season--that crowns our 2016/17 NFL PL Champion... mfb_cufc still holds the pick percentage tie-breaker. With only 6 games remaining, it is highly unlikely that will change...

*Meanwhile after Week 1 of 4 in the Superb Owl comp, Tinkake takes the early lead. Points are not as critical in the first three weeks as most points will be available for the Super Bowl (winner, point spread, over-under, most rushing yards, most passing yards, and the actual final score.. All of these are legitimate Las Vegas bets (or your local Ladbrokes or BetFred, depending on what wagers they offer) in case you also want to put your money where your mouth is...

*If only BROMLEYU hadn't missed a week he'd easily be in 3rd right now... The most puzzling development is that durham_exile dropped out after missing a week. His pick percentage was outstanding. And RSCOSWORTH, who is an NFL follower but also decided that after missing a week that was enough... Nearly every PL season I finished with the wooden spoon or near that. That would have been ridiculous if I'd packed it in... Kudos to THRILLSEEKER for keeping' on. That's heart of a past Champion. Much respect for putting up the good fight. Maybe he'll ultimately win the Playoffs..

*Here is what makes the Division Playoffs, as the quarterfinals are called, so compelling. Every home team from the Wild Card round now takes to the road and is truly battle-tested. And their wins were not close. The Raiders scored a late one to make that result look "respectable." (Not)

Wild Card Week Playoffs, Results:

Worth 2 points each:
Detroit 6 at SEATTLE 26
Miami 12 at PITTSBURGH 30

Worth 3 points each:
Oakland 14 at HOUSTON 27
N.Y. Giants 13 at GREEN BAY 38

The table: tie-breaker is pick percentage and then first to post

1. MFB_CUFC ... (2-2) ................... 87-53 ... (+4) .... (119 points)
2. tinjake ... (4-0) ........................ 82-58 ... (+10) ... (119)
3. Wessiehomespete ... (3-1) ........... 76-64 ... (+7) .... (105)
4. BromleyU ... (3-1) ..................... 71-60 ... (+7) .... (101)
5. Thrillseeker ... (2-2) .................. 73-60 ... (+7) ..... (97)
6. RSCOSWORTH ... (0-0) ................ 57-52 ... (+0) ..... (76)
7. durham_exile.... (0-0) ................ 51-39 ... (+0) ..... (65)

.....

The Super Bowl Playoffs Table (first of four PL Playoff weeks--same tie-breakers apply):
1. TINJAKE ... (4-0) ...................... 4-0 ... (+10) ... (10 points)
2. BromleyU ... (3-1) ..................... 3-1 ... (+7) ..... (7)
3. Wessiehomespete ... (3-1) ........... 3-1 ... (+7) ..... (7)
4. Thrillseeker ... (2-2) .................. 2-2 ... (+4) ..... (4)
5. mfb_cufc ... (2-2) ..................... 2-2 ... (+4) ..... (4)


PLAYOFFS Week 2 of 4 .. and Regular Season PL Week 17 of 18: (records updated to reflect wins following the 1st playoff week).. Seattle has one draw)

Worth 2 points:
HOUSTON TEXANS (10-7) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (14-2) -- (Sat. 20:15 US-ET/01:15 GMT)
GREEN BAY PACKERS (11-6) at DALLAS COWBOYS (13-3) -- (Sun. 16:40/21:40)

Worth 3 points:
PITTSBURGH STEELERS (12-5) at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (12-4) -- (Sun. 13:05/18:05)
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (11-5-1) at ATLANTA FALCONS (11-5) -- (Sat. 16:35/21:35)

...

Note to MFB_CUFC and TINJAKE: Only TWO of Four picks may be identical. The rest of us three may post any way they like.

Good luck all

*Fixtures posted here and the OMB (late edit) at 14:19 ET/19:19 GMT (time code)
*later edits are only about typos and clarifications.

Reminder: MFB_CUFC and TINJAKE, only 2 picks of 4 may be the same.

*AM I GONNA pick the Packers to beat the Cowgirls? Hell Yea! .. Aaron Rodgers has been absolutely incredible for about the past two months. I would take Rodgers over a rookie quarterback, Dak Prescott, any day of the week. I mean, The Pack and Rodgers v a Dallas rook? No, I have actual money for GB to cover the point spread, but I think the cheeseheads will win outright. Dallas a 4 point favourite in the "books".. meaning you only win money if the Packers lose by 3 or less or win outright. I took that "-4" ..

I stand by my prediction, Green Bay Packers v New England Patriots for the title.

TINJAKE posted on the OMB.

Divisional Playoffs

Patriots to beat Texans
Packers to beat Cowboys
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Chiefs to beat Steelers
Falcons to beat Seahawks


...

MFB_CUFC,.. 2 must be different picks... If three are the same then the 3rd will be null and void (a 3-pointer)...

The rest of us can predict any way we want. Every point is for the PL and the NFL Playoffs PL..

mfb wont be doing two different picks, because he wont be predicting anything. What a joke bringing this new rule in. I didn't know anything about this last week until I posted my predictions on Friday. So I was forced to predict two losers. Then today I was working 14.00 to 21.30, and come home to find Tinjake had already posted.
Congratulations, Tinjake on winning the first to post PL.

What???

You have rules where PLers cannot duplicate each other during the playoffs. This has been a rule of mine FOREVER! Last week TINJAKE posted first fair and square and you waited a number of days to post.

What do you want? A six point lead and copy all of TINJAKE's predictions so you automatically win the title??

Your Raiders pick wasn't stupid in any way shape or form. I predicted Raiders as did BromleyU and Thrillseeker. So happenes that Tinjake opted for Houston.

In your own PL which i HANDED TO YOU after running it for 4 years, you maintain the first to post tie-breaker. Presently you have the valuable pick-percentage tie-breaker.

Sour grapes, good grief.

Feel free to delete me from your PL. I never expected this kind of drama from you.

Wow.

mfb: "What a joke bringing this new rule in"

...

I didn't hear you complaining when it became a Pick-9, six 1-pointers and three 2-pointers.

I didn't hear you complaining when I decided to have the season end 3 weeks later as the three weeks before the Super Bowl were integrated.

You didn't hear me complain when I gave you a PL week and you caused confusion with two mixed-up fixtures and that led to RSCOSWORTH departing because you put me on the spot to, um, defend you.

That's the last thing I want to say. You have an inbox message.

That is very generous of you tinjake, but you have done nothing wrong, so your predictions stand. As you say it is just a bit of fun, so now I have calmed down, I will respect the competition, by posting my predictions.

Thank you MFB!

I actually think you have a potential 4-0...

Pundits in the states are all over Aaron Rodgers winning in Dallas. That's a sucker bet. We already know what happened with the Raiders rookie. But having said that, the Cowboys are looking invincible. Rook QB Dak Prescott seems to be the proverbial lightning in a bottle.

Steelers, LOL, when was the last time the Chiefs won a Super Bowl? Oh right. 1969 .. meanwhile the Steelers keep adding to their trophy case.

Seahawks are on a roll.

Patriots? Just give em their plane tickets to the Super Bowl ;)

I stand by my prediction of Packers v Patriots in the Superb Owl. Ahh, but those Steelers. And those Seahawks..

Our 5 finalists, keep in mind, lots of points--but nothing different from past years in the title game--the first 3 weeks are merely to get you points.

Super Bowl will be:

3 points, winner
3 points, point spread (Vegas line)
2 points, over-under (Vegas)
2 points, most passing yards
2 points, most rushing yards
5 points, nearest to final result. (that means how many points away is your winner, and how many points away is your loser) ... lowest total number gets 5 points.

Good grief, if it comes to that, and I don't think it will... first to post tiebreaker.

Not a big deal, Thrillseeker.

These first 3 playoff weeks are about jostling for position. Most points will be available Super Bowl Sunday in February.

Late in the 2nd quarter it's Seattle 10 at Atlanta 12.
