[Archives] The Playoff Field is Set: Wildcard Round

The Playoffs are finally here.And I’m happy to say that we’ve got a nice, healthy field of competition.

I’m definitely looking forward to it.

So here’s how things are going to work.

There will be an update Saturday Night after the games, Sunday Night after the games,& then the Winner will be announced after the Monday Night affair for this round.

Yes, there is a Monday Night Playoff game.

As you will notice below, the spreadsheet will show everyone’s picks (as usual) but the Points column is going to be the accumulated points of the games you got right.  The Tiebreaker column is the total points scored in the Arizona/Los Angeles game.

Once the action starts, this will make more sense.

Speaking of action, there’s plenty to start us off.

We have an even 20 players shooting at a pot of $400.  That’s easily the best pot we’ve had this season.

Pot’s right.

Here’s the field below:

 

FOR THE WEEK

  • the pot is $400
  • there are 20 players
  • interestingly, every team was picked this week
  • the underdog pick of Wildcard Weekend is Philadelphia, the big time Road Dog, by Tywanna BThat’s a bold pick.  Good Luck Tywanna!
  • conversely, the favorite of the Wildcard Round is Tampa Bay.  Fully 95% of the field has taken them to Win
  • Keep in mind the format for the Divisional Round will stay the same.  The stakes for the pool will stay the same throughout The Playoffs.  Higher stakes…Higher stakes!  Makes sense, right?

Enough talk, let’s watch some football.

Good Luck to all the players!
