I am masquerading as Suliso!

Anywho - good idea to come up with this new point scheme for the playoffs.

In the US, the channel changes based on the game. Saints game finished and the news show 60 Minutes was on after it. I watched it, due to my ever advancing age, and imagine my surprise when I put on the Steelers game 14 minutes into it!

I am in another pool that doesn't use confidence.

All but 1 person picked Seattle. Similarly all but 1 picked Pittsburgh. So they use points in the last game to determine it. Cleveland (by itself) scored more than the number they each picked!

Also - I am not qualified to be a moderator. No way I can pen a post as articulate as Ponchi!

Oh, yeah, try to fix it NOW! :D :twisted:
Nah, I did change my pick's value around Friday, after the entire Covid-and-no-coach-available news. And we all picked them, and the Browns played a very good game, but you take away that initial mess in the first play and the Steelers would have won.
And I had Seattle at a lowly 15. Plus I got cure with TEN.
It has been my curse in this contest every year: one lousy week in which I go brain dead and like all my picks lose. And for some reason, this is one contest I would like to win.
I guess I will be picking the underdog in the SB. We are all within range with the 90 points loot there. It can mean a 180 points shift (those that win get 90, those that lose are minus 90).

Well, considering how much Cleveland fans have suffered...

After a fairly wild (nah, we didn't quite make it to Super Wild) week, shtexas is our new leader. He had the weekly high with 55, 40 more than former leader (but still site leader!) ponchi101. Three contestants scored negative points for the week.

P.S. Thank you all for making the transition to TAT2!

This was same thing I thought..one playoff win and they are already insufferable? I'm in Patriots "country"... the last 2 decades have been insufferable! Although I prefer it to before when they were terrible and back then often that would be the only game I'd get to see in some time slots.

It is 2021 but this is the 2020-21 NFL season. So to keep in par with the year, the world has gone through all this... and the Browns routed the Steelers in a playoff game.
Even if you are not a Browns fan (and I am obviously not one) this is good news. The people there can use a break.
Now let's start hoping they win the Super Bowl. It would be such a change.

I'll be rooting for them, but they'll be lucky to be within two touchdowns this Sunday.

If they score first, and Chubb and Hunt can run the ball so that the Chiefs cannot score at will, maybe... Nah, you are right. Who am I kidding?

This contest could basically end today.
We all have KC, which was one of the two unanimous choices. But Shtexas has TB, and I have NO. Whoever gets that one correct, and still assuming KC wins, will get 150 points, as he would collect the bonus 30. And if it is Sh, he basically wraps the contest because that would mean 56 points of difference PLUS what he already has.
It will boil to almost one single game.

Going into the final three games, things are looking pretty bleak for those of us not named shtexas. There's still a chance, but it will be tough after shtexas got a perfect score along with the 30 bonus points for the Divisional week. New England Nitemare has taken over second place after also posting a perfect score for the week, though he still sits 57 points behind shtexas.
