        Can't catch Manoa. Gotta protect my 2nd place. Only at the very bitter end will you find me choosing to "play not to lose" as opposed to choosing to "play to win." OP, if you knew me, you would consider it a moral victory to get me to cave like that.

        NYGiants at Washington Redskins
        Seattle Seahawks at TampaBay Buccaneers
        St.Louis Rams at Minnesota Vikings
        Carolina Panthers at NewOrleans Saints
        Oakland Raiders at NYJets
        Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys
        Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
        Cleveland Browns at Houston Texans
        NewEngland Patriots at Tennessee Titans
        Jacksonville Jaguars at KansasCity Chiefs
        Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts
        SanFrancisco 49ers at Denver Broncos
        Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens
        Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia Eagles
        Arizona Cardinals at SanDiego Chargers
        GreenBay Packers at Chicago Bears
        23-17

        I'm takin the UNDER against OP.

        In my defense, I can only say that I chose the same teams as OP before I signed online, but I would have changed a close pick to match his, if I had needed to.

          This has been "good fun" competition. I'm surprised that I've lurked around near the top this long.

          I'm not one to put in entries for the contests from our local dailies with trip to Vegas at stake. This kind of friendly competition is more my speed.

          I also thank Scrivener for all the time and effort he's put in to provide us with all of this amusement.

            HawaiiThreads NFL Pick'em! Here are the results for Week 17!


            Hoooooooly cow! What a strange week it was, and I was sure I was going to come out of it with the most wins, because I KNEW, JUST KNEW that Green Bay was going to beat Chicago!

            However. That was just one game.

            So. Manoa and NachoDaddy tied with 10 correct picks each. In the tie-breaker, they both picked Chicago to beat the Packers: Manoa by 10, NachoDaddy by 7. This means that NachoDaddy is the winner of Week 17, giving him his second weekly win, making TimKona the winner of the weekly game!

            Manoa wins the cumulative game, as we all reluctantly resigned ourselves to acknowledging some time ago!

            Here are the Week 17 results:
            10 nachodaddy --> winner by tie-break
            10 manoa
            9 scrivener
            9 PoipuChick
            8 timkona
            8 oceanpacific
            8 surfingfarmboy
            8 random picks
            8 PacBasin
            7 palama kid
            4 mike lowery
            1 lavagal

            and the cumulative final scores:

            159 manoa
            149 timkona
            149 oceanpacific
            141 scrivener
            140 nachodaddy
            133 palama kid
            129 surfingfarmboy
            94 random picks
            86 mike lowery
            78 marco
            58 nfl4evah
            45 pzarquon
            45 PoipuChick
            21 extrascoop
            10 lavagal
            10 susie misajon
            9 blueyecicle
            8 SilverSurfer73
            8 PacBasin

            You can see complete Week 17 stats here, and complete cumulative stats here!

            So a HUGE congratulations to both TimKona, who won 3 weeks in the weekly game and to manoa, who torched us in the cumulative game, just before burning his bridges on HT. There's something to think about there, but perhaps another time.

            Thanks to everyone who played -- this was definitely one of the more interesting NFL seasons for me, partially thanks to this crazy game. As moderator, I know I fumbled the ball a few times, but in the end, I'd like to think we all enjoyed the season.

            I'm going to look for a playoff bracket right now, so those of you interested in a for-fun post-season pick'em (pick all your winners before the wild-card round), stick around!

              [note: I could have simplified this a great deal, but I went for throughness over simplicity. If any of it is confusing, please ask!]

              Wow.

              I was right. There is a sort of rebracketing after the wildcard round of the playoffs. You see, the #1 seed in each conference (San Diego and Chicago) is assured of playing the LOWEST SEEDED survivor of the wild-card round.

              So. In order to submit your picks for the ENTIRE playoffs, you're going to have to pay attention. I'm going to take this one conference at a time, starting with the obviously superior AFC.

              In the AFC, the seeding looks like this:
              1 San Diego
              2 Baltimore
              3 Indianapolis
              4 New England
              5 New York
              6 Kansas City

              AFC Playoffs!
              WILD-CARD ROUND (weekend of January 6-7)
              #5 New York at #4 New England
              #6 Kansas City at #3 Indianapolis

              Pick your winners, then follow these instructions.

              If you pick Indianapolis to beat Kansas City:
              #3 Indianapolis at
              #2 Baltimore

              Winner of New York / New England at
              #1 San Diego

              Then for the conference championship, you obviously pick from the winners of these two games.


              If you pick Kansas City to beat Indianapolis:
              #6 Kansas City at
              #1 San Diego

              Winner of New York / New England at
              #2 Baltimore

              Then for the conference championship, you obviously pick from the winners of these two games.



              In the NFC, the seedings look like:
              1 Chicago
              2 New Orleans
              3 Philadelphia
              4 Seattle
              5 Dallas
              6 New York

              NFC Playoffs!
              WILD-CARD ROUND (weekend of January 6-7)
              #5 Dallas at #4 Seattle
              #6 New York at #3 Philadelphia

              Pick your winners, then follow these instructions.

              If you pick Philadelphia to beat New York:
              #3 Philadelphia at
              #2 New Orleans

              Winner of Dallas / Seattle at
              #1 Chicago

              Then for the conference championship, you obviously pick from the winners of these two games.


              If you pick New York to beat Philadelphia:
              #6 New York at
              #1 Chicago

              Winner of Dallas / Seattle at
              #2 New Orleans

              Then for the conference championship, you obviously pick from the winners of these two games.



              So...figure all that out, then list your picks like this:

              AFC Wild Card Winners
              team 1
              team 2

              AFC Divisional Winners
              team 1
              team 2

              AFC Conference Winner
              team 1

              NFC Wild Card Winners
              team 1
              team 2

              NFC Divisional Winners
              team 1
              team 2

              NFC Conference Winner
              Team 1

              SuperBowl XLI Winner
              Team 1


              Please do not post your selections! Our volunteer, neutral third-party pick-collector is malia. Click the link, then send her a private message with your picks. I'll do the same, then post my picks after the deadline, but before she sends me everyone's brackets for tallying. Does this make sense?

              Scoring: 1 point for each correct pick in the wildcard games, 2 for each correct pick in the divisional games, 4 for each correct pick in the conference games, and 8 for a correct pick in the SuperBowl.

              Make your picks (for the entire playoffs) and sent them to malia before kickoff Saturday!



              here's a decent explanation of the whole thing, with a graphic representation of the bracket:

                Just a reminder that kickoff for the early game tomorrow (Jets/Patriots) is 7:00 in the morning, so if you're participating in the playoff pick'em, please get your picks in to malia before then.

                      Unfinished business: The NFL Playoffs Pick'em.

                      Ocean Pacific and Marco also stepped to the line and bravely offered their predictions. Here, then, is how things look four days before SuperBowl Sunday.

                      Me:
                      AFC Wild Card Winners
                      1 point: New England
                      1 point: Indianapolis

                      AFC Divisional Winners
                      2 points: Indianapolis

                      NFC Wild Card Winners
                      Dallas
                      Philadelphia

                      NFC Divisional Winners
                      Philadelphia
                      Dallas

                      SuperBowl XLI Winner
                      San Diego

                      Total for Scrivener: 4 points, and I'm DONE.

                      Conclusion:
                      None of us picked either of the SuperBowl combatants! What a bunch of LOSERS! However, Marco clearly picked better than OceanPacific or me, and OceanPacific and I clearly picked better than anyone ELSE on HT.

                      That was fun. Let's do it again next year!

                      Thanks to malia for being our impartial collector of ballots, too!

                        Oops. Make that 8 points for Marco. Yes, I am a math teacher.

                          I was wondering if someone could disclose what prize Manoa & Timkona won. Not that it matters, just being nosey.

                            The prize was being offered by manoasurfer123, and he wasn't around to finish the game. So I don't know if anyone got anything other than bragging rights, which go a long way around here, at least for a day or two!

                            Shall we do this again this season? What do you think?
