Reismark - Lombardi Football at Poly

[Jonny]

At least you got half the title... you're lucky I forgot to pick week 16.


Seriously, thanks for running this yet again. But September's only 7 months away...

[Berzerker]

thx Reis

Another reason I hate the Mannings... Eli just cost me a solo victory in this pool. As is, I have to share it with Jonny. (If the Patriots had won, I would have hit my Super Bowl bonus, while Jonny lost his in the wild-card round by picking the wrong #5 seed.)

As promised, the lines for the Super Bowl are now up.

[reismark]

As an FYI, lines for the Super Bowl will go up tonight.

[SlowwHand]

So if I had done it correctly, I could have officially crapped out. Darn the bad luck.

Standings update and lines for the conference championships are up at Sportsline.

Sorry, Sloww, no dice. Everything needs to be at the Sportsline site in order to count, you know how it's been done in the past.

In any event, updated standings and lines for the coming weekend's games are up at Sportsline.

congrats Ramsey and Reismark on winning the season point total, but if we're getting 10 pts for a play off game it kinda makes the season pointless. I can get my clock cleaned by 20 pts during the season and make it up with 2 picks?

Well, usually it's much harder to get the bonus because you have to make the pick before the end of the first month of the season. My absence/stupidity this year makes it much easier and that's why it's only worth half what it's usually worth.

Plus you're forgetting that games during the playoffs are worth more points and increase exponentially by round, and you lose points for wrong picks in the playoffs. That makes a bonus much more worthwhile.

+2 win/-1 loss for the wild-card round
+4 win/-2 loss for the divisional playoff round
+8 win/-4 loss for the conference championships
+12 win/-6 loss for the Super Bowl AND +6 right/-3 wrong for the Super Bowl Over/Under

Please submit your choice of who will win the Super Bowl from among the 12 playoff teams with your wild-card round selections. 10 points (half the usual 20) will be given for a correct pick.

I thought we did that early in the season? Is that 10 for every game including the SB (and with a tie breaker?)

Rotten Ramsey did. Caught the scoundrel anyway.

Hey, I resemble that comment!

I had to pull a good final week out after two weeks of super suckage to get back to the tie....

[Ming]

Nice to see you back reismark... I've been trying to keep people updated on a regular basis

I won the last week on the tie breaker with 11 wins.

Well, despite my silence and my inability to get my s*** together in September, we will be continuing on as usual for the playoffs. Please keep in mind that all playoff picks should continue to be made on the message board at the pool site on Sportsline and not here.

As far as the Super Bowl bonus is concerned, we are still going to do one; just modified a bit from the way we usually do it. Please submit your choice of who will win the Super Bowl from among the 12 playoff teams with your wild-card round selections. 10 points (half the usual 20) will be given for a correct pick.

The lines are now available at the board on Sportsline - go make your picks!
