NFL Playoff Pool

Welcome to the conference championships! Since only four teams remain, the rules of the pool will again change slightly. You will again have to pick the team to beat the spread and the over/under. Here's where it gets tricky: rank your picks one through four, giving the pick you are most confident in a one and the pick you are least confident in a four. Losses will still count as just a loss, but the number of points you earn will depend upon which of your picks came through--so try not to lose your number one or two game. Ones get four points, twos get three, threes get two, and fours get one. Home teams are in caps. All spread against the line. Feck is champion. Here are my picks:

1. Patriots -3 over STEELERS
2. Eagles/Falcons OVER 38
3. EAGLES -5 over Falcons
4. Patriots/Steelers OVER 35

Make your picks in the comments section below, and don't forget to rank your games one through four as that will play a huge factor in who wins. Good luck.

I'm not picking until I can see what Feck thinks.

OK, I keed, I keed:

1. Eagles/Falcons OVER 38
2. Patriots over Steelers
3. Patriots/Steelers OVER 35
4. Falcons over Eagles

Now someone else can win by reversing all my choices.

Posted by: Christopher J. Doyle on January 21, 2005 12:45 PM

OH UMMM...PLEASE DISREGARD THAT LAST COMMENT...SORRY...LOL.

Posted by: Christopher J. Doyle on January 21, 2005 12:46 PM

Please me take it easy. Besides I wasn't funny.

On second thought, that comment by Chris Doyle was funny. I have changed my mind. I was posing as Chris Doyle, but this is my real name. Further, I am not funny, but rather, pathetic. I'll go back to my hole now. Sorry.

Christopher: We're *all* gonna die.

Posted by: short on January 21, 2005 01:06 PM

Not Jackass. He will live forever because he's so funny. Oh so funny! Ha ha ha, he he he. Oh so funny...so so funny. Posing as someone else is oh so funny!

Posted by: Christopher J. Doyle on January 21, 2005 01:15 PM

Ok let me clarify the comment then:

All of you picking against the Steelers are going down.

"Down down down, Red Knight's going down...Red Knight Rules! Blue Knight sucks the big one!"

...anyone, anyone know this quote?

Posted by: Christopher J. Doyle on January 21, 2005 01:21 PM

Yes me....it's from the Cable Guy. But I already new that.

Posted by: Doyle Christopher on January 21, 2005 01:49 PM

Clever. But I believe you meant "knew" in this case. Not "new"? Christopher Doyle rarely makes grammatical errors, so that probably wasn't him commenting. And yes, the Cable Guy is correct. What kind of cookie would you like?

Posted by: Christopher J. Doyle on January 21, 2005 02:35 PM

Pats OVER
Falcons UNDER

Posted by: Sean F on January 21, 2005 02:41 PM

Sean F, you've got to rank your picks for the point system we have in place for this week.

Posted by: Dan Flynn on January 21, 2005 02:50 PM

It was I that strategically placed a grammatical error, knowing full well I would correct it! And and always...I always talk about myself in the 3rd person. So please give myself a chocolate chip cookie.

Posted by: Doyle Christopher on January 21, 2005 03:04 PM

Now you're talking. Let's end this hostile climate. I have yet to accomplish anything today.

Wow, I think Homer took the "reverse my picks" thing seriously! There should be an investigation if neither of us wins.

Posted by: Nightfly on January 21, 2005 05:23 PM

I didn't consider any previous picks when making my selections.

Posted by: Homer J. Fong on January 21, 2005 05:53 PM

Upon looking at the comments section I was pleasantly surprised to see 24+ comments on this post, "thinking there must be a bunch of people picking games this weekend," unfortunately it was just Chris J. Doyle's schizophrenic behavior. However, what can you expect from a Steelers fan.
The Pats will expose Ben Rothlisberger as a fraud, more accurately the not ready for prime time player that he is. Chris wake up!
Pats 23-10.
