Playoff NFL Pick Against the Spread Competition 

Post#1 » by bwgood77 » Sat Jan 7, 2017 5:07 am

Make your picks here in a post by bolding, underlining or naming the team who you think covers the spread. All home teams favored, so in case you haven't bet against spread before the home team has to win by more than they are favored, so if Oakland loses by 3, Detroit loses by 7, and Miami loses by 10, they all are winning picks.

We will do 1 pt per correct pick in WC round, 2 pts per correct pick in divisional round, 3 pts per correct pick in conf champ weekend, and 4 pts for correct Super Bowl pick.

Oakland at Houston -4
Detroit at Seattle -8
Miami at Pittsburgh - 10.5
New York and Green Bay -5

Make sure to get your picks in before 4:30PM ET Saturday. If you miss the first game or two, it's not too late since this week's games are worth fewer points than the rest of the weeks, so you won't get behind by much, and can make up ground fast in the following weeks. So don't hesitate to make them if you get in late, but picks must be in prior to kickoff.

I admire your courage. I do a small one of these manually for family and friends on another board. It's only a total of 18...

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Last year we did the regular season competition manually and just moved it to espn this year, so tabulating results of all the participants with 13-16 games every week became quite the weekly task.
