Think next year I might tweak the scoring, so correct picks in each round are worth...
Wildcard: 1
Divisional: 2
Championship: 4
Superbowl: 8

If nothing else, will keep it interesting until the end.

If I have time I might even go back and apply that system to these scores...
Exactly!....you gotta be able to win when it counts..........
Or if you're losing, change the rules... :lol:

Its an interesting methodology but my feeling is that each round should be worth the same total of points so the Wildcard and Divisional score the same.

Very true - the obnoxious little scrotum will lose, and Peyton Manning will limp blissfully into retirement, that he declares during the post match ceremony, standing alongside John Elway who will meekly add....copycat!

Denver to win an ugly close game.

Watched the 1st half. Thought the standard of play was really poor, especially the Panthers. However what sort of contact sport hands out 15 yard penalties for 'taunting' :roll:

So, with LIT believing that Cam Snooty-ton would see his team home, being incorrect, does that mean a US 1/2 in the NFL this year?

Just a PS, but Cam Snooty-ton did get his Hollywood finale - he followed Tom Brady of the Patri-cheats into the also ran enclosure, leaving the proper ending to General manning, who showed real class in his post and pre-game comments regarding his retirement.

I loved the quote on media day on ESPN; "Win or lose, there are 50 people on each side of the field that deserve to enjoy their day and not have the media make the headline about one person."

As the stats showed - I had the highest % prediction success rate this play-off season. It makes a nice change.

"Snooty-ton" though? If you're going to criticise other people for a lack of class then you need to command the higher ground. Also when Cam and Payton were doing a pre-match press conference together, both of them batted away the story being made just about them (the media narrative) and showed respect to the other.

We don't get your media here (thankfully) so its more about the game. However, the perception and hostility towards Cam Newton has become a story in itself even here because he enjoys himself on the field (like a wide receiver). Yet we have all seen some ugly shapes being thrown even from defensive players after a block or sack. Its a part of the game. So what is it about Cam Newton? Because it feels like an American thing.

FEE 3

Super-duper-jumbo-updated Scoring Method
