T.D. Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Indianapolis Baltimore Philly Atlanta This is a very tough wild card week. All four road teams are favored, and the point spreads I saw are slender (two ones and two threes). I'll hold my nose and stick with the favorites, though picking four road teams looks rather dubious. Plenty of potential traps, too: going with Dungy after a bye week, going with two rookie QBs (Ryan, Flacco) on the road, and SD looks kinda dangerous (for one week only; if they win, they'll get killed in the divisional round)... Compensating factors are that the Eagles look solid, P. Manning is en fuego, Baltimore should beat up on Pennington, and Arizona stinks. Quote

Chalupa Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 I'm picking all the road teams to win. Vikings in danger of not selling out playoff game..... http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_updat...d_shoulder.html Quote
Chalupa Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Friday, January 2, 2009 Vikings get final blackout extension Associated Press EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The NFL has given the Minnesota Vikings one last chance to sell out the Metrodome for Sunday's playoff game against Philadelphia. The Vikings have until 4:30 p.m. EST on Saturday to sell the remaining 3,100 tickets to avoid a television blackout in local markets. The task isn't as daunting as it appeared earlier in the week. The Vikings were granted their first extension on Thursday and still had a whopping 8,000 tickets to unload to avoid the first blackout since 1997. But the team made big strides, selling nearly 5,000 tickets as of Friday afternoon. The remaining tickets are priced $80, $120 and $160 a piece. It's the first time the Vikings have been in the playoffs since the 2004 season. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals have sold enough tickets to Saturday's game against the Atlanta Falcons for it to be televised in the Phoenix area. The NFL gave the team two 24-hour extensions, the last expiring Friday afternoon. About 2,400 tickets remained Friday morning. Tickets returned from the visiting team allotment and club seats remain available for purchase. Neither counts against the blackout rules. Quote

But it'd be more work to administer...Seems like we barely scraped together a playoff pool as it is. Quote

But it'd be more work to administer...Seems like we barely scraped together a playoff pool as it is. I'll score it whatever way people prefer. We have seven people participating in the pool. If we get a majority of four or more to support the new scoring system, I'll do it that way. Unless we hear from anyone else, it looks like we have only two votes so far for this scoring system.
