NFL Playoff Pool

The NFL playoffs are here! Home teams are in caps. All picks are against the spread. Because of the limited number of games the playoffs offer, I've added point totals. A "total," or "over-under," is the number of points oddsmakers estimate both teams should combine to score. If the total is, say, 50, and you believe both teams will combine for more points, then choose "Over." If you believe the teams will combine for less than 50, then choose "Under." The "totals" listed below, like the spreads, aren't negotiable. It's pretty simple: pick the four teams that will cover, and pick an "Over" or an "Under" for each contest. Here are my picks:

Redskins +2.5 over BUCS. Under 37.
PATRIOTS -8 over Jaguars. Over 37.
Panthers +2.5 over GIANTS. Under 43.5.
BENGALS +3 over Steelers. Under 46.

Make your selections in the comments section. May the force of Jimmy the Greek be with you.

No, William. The over-unders are fixed. You don't get to make them up. So, on the Bucs-Redskins game, the over-under is 37. You decide whether the Bucs and Redskins will combine to score "over" that number or "under" that number.

Looking at your existing over-under picks, it looks like you'll be taking the under for Bucs-Redskins and Steelers-Bengals. So, all you have to do is post whether the Pats-Jags will score "over" or "under" 37, and whether the Panthers-Giants will score "over" or "under" 43.5.

Wm. Clement: If you don't make clear whether you think Pats-Jags and Giants-Panthers will go "over" or "under," I'll assume that you wanted the "over" in both games as you in a way indicated that in your initial post. Is that what you want for these two games?
