I just realized I may have the seeding wrong in my Divisional matchups so I may have to revise.

Assuming I've worked out the matchups correctly: (one can only win these by making crazy predictions)


Wild Card Matchups (1pt):
Packers
'Hawks (it's just silly enough it could happen. And I hate Brees)
Colts
Ravens

Divisionals (2pts):
Steelers over Colts, barely
Pats over Ravens
Bears over Seattle
Atlanta over Green Bay

Conference (4pts):
Bears over Atlanta
Pats over Pittsburgh

Super Bowl XLV (8pts):
Pats in a blowout :(

*I may also have to revise, as I used shiznits matchups in a couple cases assuming he had them right...

Here's some help with the matchups:

If the Colts win: Colts @ Steelers, winner of Ravens/Chiefs @ Patriots
If the Jets win: Jets @ Patriots, winner of Ravens/Chiefs @ Steelers

If the Eagles win: Eagles @ Bears, winner of Saints/Seahawks @ Falcons
If the Packers win: Packers @ Falcons, winner of Saints/Seahawks @ Bears

And for the picks, I may as well ride the team with three horrid road games all the way:

Wildcard
Saints
Eagles
Colts
Ravens

Divisional
Falcons (over Saints)
Eagles (over Bears)
Steelers (over Colts)
Ravens (over Patriots)

Conference
Falcons (over Eagles)
Ravens (over Steelers)

Super Bowl XLV
Ravens (over Falcons)

We ought to get some scores on that final game prediction, since a lot of people are picking the Pats vs. "X".

If we need a tie breaker, then we can drum something up.  The fact that everyone loves the Pats so far is the kiss of death, though.

They didn't pick the Jets though.  Jesus, what a pair of games those were.  I got to watch a bar full of New Orleans fans' dreams die tonight.

Not many other people did either.  awesome, for real

Heh, I'm out. The Saints were my pick, which was probably ill-advised but oh well. I still think the Ravens are going to the Super Bowl though.

I hope you are right- that would probably be enough to win my 'big money' fantasy league for me (like $2500, so it would be nice).

Here is the tally.  Everyone picked Ravens in WC and all but one picked Steelers (K9) in Divisionals.  Three (bunk, gallo, naum) called the Seahawks and those three are half of those left alive.

9 pts: naum, Bungee
7 pts: Bunk
6 pts: 01101010
5 pts: Azuredream
4 pts: El Gallo

Everyone else may have comparable points, but they have no more dogs alive (bad Vick pun, sorry.)

El Gallo is alone with a Rex Ryan SB appearance so that is his only hope.

naum, 01101010 and Bungee have the Packers going to the SB.  

If Steelers AND Packers meet in Dallas, Bungee has won, regardless of the victor.

** I may have screwed this up, so feel free to request a recount.  Some people had games that didn't happen. You get points if your pick advanced.  Opponents aren't important.

If I add it up right, I win on a Bears over the Jets Superbowl, since no one would then get the 8 points. Jets over Bears, I think would give El Gallo the massive comeback.
