True that.

 

I'm thinking Baker has been solid and they are at home in sunny warm weather, the Saints can put up TD's so this one should exceed 42.5 points with some ease. It was an Under because like you said the Bucs were never in it. 

 

So my Under on Thursday Night was an Over. My Over in Tampa was an Under. I did get one correct though. The Rams and the G Men did go over 42 points. 

 

1-2 with my Totals Picks this week.

 

+5 points

It's simple, name your two favorite RB's of all time. 

 

 

... Even though it is "favorite" and not "greatest" I don't see how Barry Sanders won't be on every list but after that it is really tough. Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, OJ Simpson 🙄 and Christian McCaffrey will be on that list by the time he retires. 

Barry Sanders
Gale Sayers

 

... Btw I was in The Express, the Ernie Davis story and had he lived and played in the NFL he would be on that list.

That is why I wanted to do the poll. I want to see the final tally. 

 

And you are on top of it chisag, I asked for your favorite, not best.

Week 17 Results:

 

My local team "done me dirty" this week by covering against Washington.  Ok, so maybe it's Washington's fault and not the 49ers.

 

Washington L 0 pts 

New England W +5 pts

Arizona W +5 pts

 

Total: +10 pts

 

If Arizona bests Seattle next week, that'll give them 5 wins and I'll get bonus points.  I'm too lazy to check myself, but I'm guessing because Seattle lost today, next week is an absolute "must win" for them to get into the playoffs?

I was 2-1 this weekend.  What were the Falcons doing?  10 points.

 

Running backs?

 

Payton and Okoye.  Take that to Google all you young guys.

The NFL Playoffs Contest 2023-2024 

 

Please make sure you understand the format and the point system. Please also bookmark this post so you have it handy all Playoffs long to refer to when you have to submit your total points for the week. 

 

How it works.

 

Each player gets two Double It Please (DIP) plays to start. DIP's are totally optional. They can be used only during the first two weeks of the Playoffs. That is the Wild Card Weekend and the Divisional round weekend. You can use your DIP plays once each week during the first two weeks. Again this play is optional. 

 

Week 1 - Wildcard Weekend 

Pick either a side or an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed. 

Each winning pick is worth 20 points.

A loss is 0 points. 

A Push is worth 5 points. 

If you DIP'd a play and it hits you win 40 points. If you lose your DIP play it is -20 points, and again if you Push it is worth 5 points 

 

Week 2 - Divisional Round 

Pick a side AND an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed.

Each winning pick is worth 15 points. A loss is 0 points. A push is 5.

If you hit a DIP it is 30 points won. If you lose it's -15 points. A push is 5. 

 

* The Double It Play (always optional) at this point in the contest is now over. There is no DIP play involved during the final two weeks. 

 

Week 3 - Conference Championship Games

Pick a side AND an O/U in both games. 

A winning Pick is worth 10 points 

0 for a losing Pick.

A Push is worth 5 Points 

 

Week 4 - Super Bowl

Pick both the side and an O/U in the game. 

Each winning Pick is worth 25 points.

0 points for a losing Pick, and 5 for a Push. 

Submit a Total Points Scored in the game in the case we need a tiebreaker.

My favorite would be much different than "Best" RB.

My favorites 

John Riggins because of what he meant to my beloved Redskins back in the day.

Bo Jackson because he was electrifying

... Mike Ditka votes the Fridge and Ricky Williams. 🤣

... Yup, just a win or a loss although the house keeps the money form a tie for both sides. 🤑

That guy is probably the best overall athlete in my lifetime. As a kid, I remember reading books (what are those?) about Jim Thorpe and what an athlete he was. Bo Jackson was the first time I was able to see what he might have been like. Rumor has it he could shoot a crossbow with his feet/toes and hit his target.

 

Bo knows!

... I played a reporter. As usual with showbiz 90% of my scenes were cut from the film.
