Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
Rules:
- you have to pick the winners of all games for this week prior to Saturday noon,
you get 1 point for each correct pick.

- you get one point for each game this week:
1) Jacksonville at Pittsburgh
2) Washington at Seattle
3) Tennessee at San Diego
4) New York Giants at Tampa Bay

Next week on Monday,
I'll post the point total/standings of those who choose to enter and -
list the next weeks games. You'll have to post your choices again next week for those games, and so on through the playoffs.

Each game next week will be worth 2 points.
The conference championships will be worth 3 points each.
The Super Bowl is worth 4 points.

Max point total is:
4 points first week (4 games @ 1 point)
8 points 2nd week (4 games @ 2 points)
6 points 3rd week (2 games @ 3 points)
4 points for Super Bowl (1 game @ 4 points)
22 Total

Confused? Good, so am I. Good luck

My picks -
Jacksonville (and I do like Pittsburgh, just not their year)
Washington (just because of their spirit and difficulties this year)
San Diego (should handle the Titans readily)
Tampa Bay (sorry Giants, next year)

Well one of us will have very few points come Monday.

Pittsburg, Agree not their year but they will get this one
Seattle, The Cowboys didn't show up is the only reason the Redskins looked good.
San Diego, We agree ;D
New York, This could go either way, but Giant are playing well even against good teams.

Jax....playing better

Skins .... gotta be a homer here

Chargers .... home team

Giants .... if they played like they did vs NE, they should win

Yikes...only picked one home team....may pay the price for that.

Giants
Jaguars
Chargers
Seahawks

Not very good at this though. Not a huge sports' fan. Sport fan, but not so much a sports' fan.

Have a relative on the Seattle Seahawks staff-- John Idzik. Sort of influenced my pick there.

taltarzac,
being a sports fan likely is a negative in this LOLOL

My boy wants in on this, he won his fantasy football league superbowl two years running and thinks he knows football inside and out (he doesn't LOLOL). anyway, no harm in expanding this to those interested, since it's for prestige and honor and not $$$$$$$$$

here's his picks:

Hey Dad,

Pittsburgh, Washington, San Diego, Giants.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
Girls???? Don't know about 07 but I put my dolls away in about the 4th grade (well, decapitated them then anyway). But I gotta admit, my heart just isn't in football this year -- I've been a dolfan since 68 ... hard to root for them ever since they hired Johnson.

College ball is the Bruins forever -- so, do I care that USC won the Rose Bowl and is probably #1 in reality. Nah, just hurts a lot.

But wait til next season (okay, 3 seasons from now -- gonna take awhile to build up the Phins).

Whatever gave you THAT idea? Just because I've always hated being called a girl (what a sissy word was my attitude when I was one). Now that I'm an adult, I figure I worked hard to get there so, yes, I still hate being called a GIRL! :dontknow:

But have no fear John -- I'll get my revenge: You can buy my drinks when TOTV gets together (and I'm not a cheap drunk!).

Unless the Steelers have a heck of a 4th quarter, it looks like Tal and Jim are the best prognosticators so far.

I think there's something wrong with my computer. I'm sure I typed in "Seattle" in my picks Friday but somehow or another the computer translated it as "Washington". Obviously I cannot be held responsible for a hardware error. 024 :barf:

Taltarzac 01-06-2008 08:45 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
I want the Bucs to win even though it looks like it will be the Giants. I did pick the Giants to win this game. Lived in the Tampa Bay area from 1996 through 2005.

Bucs are down by 10 at the 2 minute warning right now.

Home teams all the way.

Green Bay
New England (ewww -- can't believe I'm saying that)
Indy
Dallas (and I'll be rooting for anyone but Dallas!)

(This is subject to change depending on injuries, etc.)

I really should have followed football better this year -- had I even been remotely aware Jeff Garcia was the QB for TB, there is no way I would have picked them to win. Jeff's a nice guy but ...... Ah, well, there's always next year to do this properly. Who knows, maybe you guys can get my love of the game back (and Parcells may just help, too!).

are there any football pools around? I probably left myself wide open for all the pool jokes so i am expecting to hear from the funny people - but would really like to know if anyone has seen any football pools
