PrintHere's the bracket and schedule for the NFL playoffs. I thought it'd be fun to make a little contest out of this. Winner will get this awesome (still in style) t-shirt or $10...whatever we can scrounge together. Tie-breaker will be closest to the final score (total points) of the Super Bowl without going over.
Follow my format that I entered in the first comment when entering your picks. For the Divisional game matchups your filling in who the Wild Card winners, mmmkaay? I went with the strategy where I picked each team with the better season turnover ratio to win each matchup. We'll see if that works out. (only 1 entry per person).

You're bracketing is messed up
Unless they’ve changed the rules, in every round the highest seed plays the lowest seed.
So your NFC divisional matchups can’t occur, the Packers, as the sixth seed, would play the Falcons, not the Bears

What do you mean they re-seed?
I think BillWard is right. If the Packers win as the 6th seed, they play the Falcons (1 seed and easiest schedule regardless of the outcome of wild card weekend), not the Bears (2 seed).
That is how it has always been done in the 8 division/2 conference NFL playoffs. Was there a rule change this year (like I know there are new OT rules this year in the playoffs)?
Yea thats what I meant, I didn't look at Kevin's bracket closely enough.
Bill is right, “re-seed” was a bad word and the bracket is misleading. Lowest seed goes to ATL and NE.
shit balls...ok, maybe i just re-post this w/ a fresh set of comments...
Trying to think of a good/easy format for ppl to post their picks. Any suggestions?

But the people filling it out will have to know the rules of the playoff seeding. Also it’s not a .jpg (if that’s what you were looking for.
yea, need an easy way to articulate a format ppl can comment their picks easily….so easy even a Cincy boy could do it.

maybe i just say
Pick the two wild card team winners
List your two Conference championship matchups (with winners)
Pick the Super Bowl winner (with points).
That seems easy enough w/ room for a lot of differences.
