ACW wrote: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%)

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!
