Hognostication Playoffs 2015 - Wild Card Round

Post by Deadskins »

Welcome to the Hognostication playoffs for the 2014-2015 NFL season. First, let me say congratulations to ACW. Great year! You were at the top or very near the entire season. Here are the final scores, for the record:

Code: Select all

1 ACW                  163
2 Deadskins          162
3 Countertrey        161
4 SkinsJock           160
5 Markshark 84      157
6 tribeofjudah        154
7 DavidLyne           147
8 DarthMonk          145
9 Hi Im CKRgiii       144
10 gushogs            136
11 Irn Bru              114
12 Justice Hog        107

Here's how the Hognostication Playoffs work:

Once again, we are going to have a tournament of these 12 players. The top four seeds get a bye. This week, 12 will play at 5, 11 @ 6, 10 @ 7, and 9 @ 8. Every subsequent week, the contestants will be reseeded based on the previous week's results. Home field advantage is given by making the visiting team pick first. There will be two deadlines for getting picks in, one for the visitors and one for the home team. This week the visitors' deadline is 12:00 NOON, EST on Friday. Normally, it would be earlier, but I'm getting a late start. You are picking the winner of each game, and a point total for the entire weekend. Once a visitor has made his picks, he can change his picks as often as he'd like, up until the home team has made their picks. The home team can not make their picks until the visiting team has done so, or the visiting team's deadline has passed. Once the home team has picked, the visiting team's picks are locked, EVEN IF THE VISITORS' DEADLINE HAS NOT PASSED. The home team's picks don't lock until five minutes before the first game of the weekend (the home team's deadline). The home team's total score prediction can not be an even number difference from the visiting team's total. (Visitors say 121, home team can't say 123. This way, no ties) Whole numbers only.

Here are the game to be Hognosticated this weekend:

SATURDAY, JANUARY 3RD

ARI (11-5) @ CAR (7-8-1) 4:35PM ET
BAL (10-6) @ PIT (11-5) 8:15PM ET

SUNDAY, JANUARY 4TH

CIN (10-5-1) @ IND (11-5) 1:05PM ET
DET (11-5) @ DAL (12-4) 4:40PM ET

Good luck to everyone, and happy Hognosticating!

So if the home team REALLY wanted to be a douche, he could make his picks right after the visiting team, then keep changing them until right before the first game? :lol:

Yep, though I don't know if that qualifies as being a douche.

Even though I get a bye, just for fun, here are my picks in descending order of confidence.
IND (CIN has a puncher's chance, but that's about it)
CAR (if only ARI had Palmer)
DAL (DET has a chance, but I don't think they'll win)
PIT (this one's REALLY tough, especially if Bell's out, or even if he's less than 100%)

I wish you had not just told my opponent whom to pick!

Might as well give him a point total too!

BTW, if it comes down to the tiebreaker, is it closest to the total w/o going over (ala Price is Right), or just closest?

Going over is a non-issue. Simply the closest.

It appears Hi Im CKRgiii has not posted by his deadline. Here are my winning picks/points:

ARZ, RAV, BEN, DET will all win by the score of 2-0 whence my predicted point total is 8.

PS - I'm starting to think Tucker of the Ravens might kick a FG but I have until 5 minutes before kickoff to change my mind so, no worries. Any side bets on my predictions??

The closest. The rules make it so that the tie-breaker cannot result in another tie (not an even difference in point totals).

Picks are in but I'm realistically thinking home teams and something like 182 points.

Wish we were playing.

Huh??

I wish we (the Redskins) were playing this week.

I think the Deadman PMed everyone. Besides, this is the forum for Hognostications, not Hogwash, and these playoffs have been going on for years.
