Lombardi Handicappers' League: Week 18 (Wild-Card) Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Gentlemen: The individual portion of the competition now shifts from CBS to here, as CBS does not run picks during the playoffs (while we, of course, do). So I hope everyone's in the mood to have all of their playoff picks seen, because I sure as hell am not letting you guys clog up my PM box with them.

First things first: The standings as they are now on CBS are incorrect. CBS did not add the score for the three individuals who correctly picked Monday night's San Francisco/St. Louis game (namely myself, Drake, and Ming). The correct individual standings are as follows:

zoom 155 SA 133
reismarkTK 133
Laser 131
RAH-SKP 121
[BBB]brtndr4u 121
Berzerker 119
J-rabbit 119
ColdWizard (SKP) 117
Chris Poulos 116
Ming SKP 116
Imran Siddiqui 115
Slow Hand 115
The Peacemaker-TFB 113
[BBB]mactbone 112
Sloth 110
Vlad Wood {SPW} 110
Guynemer TFB 109
[BBB]ixnay37 99
Drake Apolyton 93
MOBIUS [SPW] 88
MrWizardSA 73
SuperSneak SPW 71
Sam aka Fuel SA 53
John Thornton TFB 52
Orioles 25

With that being said, the team competition is officially over and the points stand thus:

Slicker Pickers: 118.00 points
Rush: 117.67 points
Black & Blues Brothers 2002: 110.67 points
Slackers: 108.00 points
Fargin' Bastiges: 91.33 points
Superwhorde: 89.67 points

In the closest team race in recent memory, Ming's Monday Night pick of the Rams proves to be the difference-maker as the Slicker Pickers edge out Rush for the team crown. (Thus explaining the moderators' recent actions - I do hope they're back soon to celebrate).

As a reminder, I'm posting the scoring system we'll be using for the playoffs, which has been on display all season on CBS on the Pool Rules page:

quote:
A scaling point system, outlined below, will be in effect for the four playoff rounds. We will also use custom spreads during the playoff rounds to make tieing impossible (meaning all spreads will be half-pointers). We will be picking the over/under in addition to a team for the Super Bowl. A number will be posted, and you will have to guess whether the final combined score of the Super Bowl will be over or under that number. You will then get or lose the listed points depending on your correctness.

WILD-CARD ROUND: 2 points for a win; -1 point for a loss
DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS: 4 pts. win; -2 pts. loss
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS: 8 pts. win; -4 pts. loss
SUPER BOWL XXXVII: 12 pts. win; -6 pts. loss; 6 pts. O/U win; -3 pts. O/U loss


And now... it's picking time.

Ah, the playoffs... it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

Indianapolis/N.Y. Jets Jets by 6 1/2
Atlanta/Green Bay Packers by 6 1/2
Cleveland/Pittsburgh Steelers by 7 1/2
N.Y. Giants/San Francisco 49ers by 3 1/2

Well... you know most of these spreads JUST won't do. Your esteemed co-leader selects thus:

Jets, Falcons, Browns, Giants

Can I keep my hot streak of the past few weeks up? BE THERE!



PICK!

Sloww: Just so you know, if we picked straight-up I'd go Jets, Packers, Steelers, Giants. Remember, Green Bay nearly lost to Atlanta opening week at home and that was WITH Driver, and the Browns/Steelers spread is just too big not only for a playoff game but a rivalry one at that (I think the Steelers win by exactly a touchdown and no more.)

Go Slicker Pickers... I'm glad I was able to help in the end, because I've been the weak link on our team all year. GO TEAM!

And Rush thought they had it all locked up...

Picks to come later.

Yes, we were lucky. Ming and I never missed a week, and ColdWizard only missed once. The championship was determined more on just showing up, instead of who actually picked the best. But a win is still a WIN.

Moral victories are only won by losers.

Feel free to crow about your moral victory

When I tried to troll earlier about missed weeks, I was told to reread the rules. I suggest you do the same

Rah, obviously if we had only one missed week, we'd have the victory because we'd have at least 1 win .

Fine, we'll just take the real victory and say we were cheated like Penn State did in 94 .

But you did miss the week so YOU LOSE.
Ifa woulda coulda shoulda. Our picks for one week may have been better than your picks for two weeks. You never know, and we never will, but guess what. I don't need to know because WE WON.

I live in Chicago, I'm used to hearing people say they were cheated. BUT IT DOESN"T CHANGE ANYTHING.
