PrintOK, let's try this again. Here's the bracket and schedule for the 2010 NFL playoffs.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.
It's pretty simple. Let's take the NFC. The lowest seed you have advancing in the 2 Wildcard games will play the Falcons. So, if I like the Seahwaks (4) and Packers (6) to advance...then the Packers play the Falcons and Seahawks the Bears. Pick the 2 winners of that game and they play each other to go to the Super Bowl, mmmkaay? Just follow (copy/paste) another person's entry and update your picks accordingly.
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).

Thats quite a formula you put together for your picks Kevin...
I knew that TI-83 calculator you got at Loyola would pay off some day. And 35 pts, with those two high octane offenses?
well, i don't want to go over...
And Matty Ice will melt in bright lights.

There's a typo in here
You’ve got two NFC finals match ups and no AFC final matchup

This isn't possible either.
The Falcons (1 seed) and Packers (6 seed) would have to meet in the divisional round, not the conference championship. You gotta check your own rules, Kevin…
Super Bowl Winner: Patriots
Super Bowl: Packers vs. Patriots (71 pts)
NFC Finals: Packers vs. Atlanta
NFC Divisional: Chicago vs. Packers
NFC Divisional: Atlanta vs. Seattle (Yea I said! The Seahawks are going to win.)
AFC Final: Patriots vs. Steelers
AFC Divisional: Steelers vs. Colts
AFC Divisional: Patriots vs. Chiefs (too many people picking the Ravens, gotta separate…)
Arrowhead Stadium is a tough place to play
But I just can’t see Kansas City beating the ravens. It will be a low scoring game, but unless the ravens self-destruct, they should be able to neutralize all of KC’s strengths.

I'm factoring in Arrowhead and the Chiefs coordinators and running game...
Also I want to be a little different. I think this game will be a lot like the Ravens-Texans game on MNF a couple of weeks ago.
You have got a look at the position coaches
The ravens have Jim Zorn as quarterback coach-game over!

I guess they gave Zorn all of Ogden’s winter gear?

This isn't possible.
The Seahawks are the 4 seed. The Packers are the 6 seed. If the Packers win, they play the Falcons, not the Bears, and thus couldn’t re-meet the Falcons in the conference championship.
Super Bowl Winner: Patriots
Super Bowl: Packers vs. Patriots (71 pts)
NFC Finals: Packers vs. Chicago
NFC Divisional: Chicago vs. Seattle
NFC Divisional: Atlanta vs. Packers
AFC Final: Patriots vs. Steelers
AFC Divisional: Steelers vs. Colts
AFC Divisional: Patriots vs. Chiefs (too many people picking the Ravens, gotta separate…)
My picks
Super Bowl Winner: Patriots (27-24, though that’s not needed)
Super Bowl: Atlanta vs. Patriots (51 pts)
NFC Finals: Saints vs. Atlanta <- should be a killer game
NFC Divisional: Chicago vs Saints
NFC Divisional: Atlanta vs Packers <- Better drama would be for Philly to beat the Packers, though… that would have set up a potential Atlanta-Philly NFC Championship game. Can you imagine the return of Michael Vick to Atlanta for the NFC slot in the Superbowl?
AFC Final: Patriots vs. Steelers <- Drama aplenty here.
AFC Divisional: Steelers vs. Colts <- While I think Peyton almost singlehandly knocks out the Jets, I don’t see it going beyond that
AFC Divisional: Patriots vs. Chiefs <- The Chiefs special teams are what put them over the edge this weekend.
Sorry thing is that way too many people seem to agree with my AFC matchup…. buddy at work had to specifically change to pick the Jets over the Colts because he couldn’t be the same as me.

Well, I'm out
0 for 2 in the first two games means I have no chance.

Super Bowl: Ravens/ Falcons ( Ravens Win: 50 total points)
This isn't possible.
If the Jets and Ravens win in the wild card, then the Ravens would play the Steelers (and Jets vs the Pats) in the divisional round, and could not play them in the championship game. Check the seeding rules again…
Shane's Brass Balls picks
Super Bowl Winner: Kansas City (16-13 in OT)
Super Bowl: Seattle VS Kansas City (29 points)
NFC Finals: Seattle at Chicago (Seattle takes advantage of that INT game we know is coming)
NFC Divisional: Eagles@Bears (Vick goes out in 2nd quarter)

-—————
AFC Final: Jets@KC (Rex’s Defense looks confused and distracted by all the pictures of bare feet everywhere)
AFC Divisional: Jets@Pats (Jets squeak this one out)
AFC Divisional: Steelers@Chiefs (Troy gets tripped up on an INT return and fractures his clavicle, Chiefs end up winning by a thread in OT)

Dude, you need to sober up
There would be NFL paid for snipers preventing that Superbowl matchup.
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
It’s a possibility. If anyone has the gumption to think up something Brady hasn’t seen, it’s the Jets. This is an improbable matchup but it could happen if the stars and planets align. Personally, I’d like to see KC in the bowl just because I like their institutional approach to football. A Rams/KC bowl would be my ultimate I think if I couldn’t watch my skins play.
What's really sad is so far, he's perfect

NFC Wildcard Winners: Iggles, Saints
NFC Finals Matchup: Saints, Bears
AFC Wildcard Winners: Jets, Ravens
AFC Finals Matchup: Pats, Steelers
Super Bowl: Pats/Bears (Pats Win: 31 total points)
If Patriots win another ring, I might spend all February crying
My Picks
NFC Wild Card Winners: Eagles, Saints
NFC Finals Match Up: Eagles, Saints
AFC Wild Card Winners: Jets, Ravens
AFC Finals Match Up: Patriots, Steelers
Super Bowl: Patriots/Eagles (Pats Win: 65 Total Points (34-31))
I don’t understand why noone is picking iggles over pats.. If ever there was a team built to fluster “the hoodie”, I would have to believe it’s the 2010-2011 Iggles..

For starters, the Saints are the #5 seed. And no, I am fairly confident the Saints are going to find some of that playoff magic again this year. Nice try though.
Damnit, I'm not good with numbers... Can't they just have 8 teams, it would be easier? haha
The Saints are def going to lose pepperjack… Madden Curse is still looming, dun dun duuuuun
Here goes nothing.....
NFC Wildcard Winners: Packers, Saints
NFC Finals Matchup: Falcons, Packers
AFC Wildcard Winners: Jets, Ravens
NFC Finals Matchup: Pats, Steelers
Super Bowl: Pats, Packers (Pats Win: 48 total points)
You know this isn't possible right?
The Packers can’t play the Falcons in the championship game (1 seed vs 6 seed would have to happen in the divisional round. Check the instructions in the post.
Play it again, Sam!!!!!!

NFC Finals: Falcons vs Packers
NFC Divisional: Packers vs. Bears
NFC Divisional: Falcons vs. Saints
AFC Finals: Patriots vs. Colts
AFC Divisional: Patriots vs. Ravens

Everyone love the packers
I’m not so sure they will beat the Eagles(although it will kill me inside if they don’t). The Eagles always win at home in the first round. Mike Vike was the only player(before Eli Manning) to go to the Packers stadium and win. Sunday will be scary.
Skins rule
Wow, is it that difficult
NFC Wildcard Winners: Seattle, Green Bay
NFC Finals Matchup: atlanta, bears
AFC Wildcard Winners: Colts, Ravens
AFC Finals Matchup: Patriots, Colts
Super Bowl: Colts/ atlanta ( Colts Win: 54 total points)
