Wow what a nail biter watching the second half in Buffalo. 

Laying 10 points is not easy. I makes me queasy. 

 

Me watching the game......

   😆

 

 

Thank you Bills for in the end covering the 10 and awarding chisag, doc, and myself our 40 point bonus because we DIP'd you guys. 💪⚡

 

 

Chisag is a convert and LOVES the DIP now!! 😂😂

Yeah I hear you NCL and thanks.

Some of the grouping of Picks list that I post might not reflect the most recent Pick changes and/or DIP's .    

[touch]

Yes Sir ! What a fantastic first week. Welcome to the NFL Playoffs. It too was a solid kick off for the first week of this contest. ⭐

 

Please tally up your total points for the week and post it for our Standings guy NJ Big Fish as soon as you can get after it.

This weeks Point Values.

Week 1 - Wildcard Weekend

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

Things to remember for Week 2 The Divisional Round. 

 

Next week is the last week a DIP play will be available. 

 

Next week we make two Picks in every game. We will pick a side (team) and a total (an Over/Under) .

Does each side of the pick stands on its own and is worth 15 points, for 30 points per game? Or do you have to hit both the team and the O/U to earn the 15 points?
 

The latter introduces a new level of difficulty, so if that’s the game, I like it!
 

Thanks t!

The former, sorry to disappoint you DFW. 😛

 

Good Question TL.

The Answer is each of you 8 picks for the week are worth a potential 15 point win, so yes 30 Points per game is what you could win should you hit both your side (team) and total (Over/Under) Picks. 

 

Again a DIP Play is available and it's point values are +30 points for a winner, -15 points for a loser, and 5 points for a Push.

This is the last week a DIP Play is happening.

Thank you Khalil Shakir. This play pretty much secured the DIP winner for @chisag, @doctoro, and myself.

 

Wow what an effort.

[Triple Lindy]

Divisional Round Picks (very much subject to change several times)

 

Houston +9.5 Under 45.5

 

I think Baltimore wins this game, but Houston’s D keeps it closer than expected. Stroud won’t have as strong of a game on the road, on grass, outdoors.

 

San Fran -10  Under 49.5

 

Things get tighter for GB this week. Don’t expect the Niners to lay down like Dallas. The Under is a bigger concern, as the GB defense isn’t nearly as good as they looked this past week.

 

Detroit -6 DIP Under 48.5

 

I’m on the Lions’ bandwagon! Hard to gauge TB’s performance given how the Iggles have been no-shows for the past month. Baker has an off day, which keeps the total Under.

 

KC +2.5 Under 46.5

 

Mahomes is Buffalo’s kryptonite, similar to how Rodgers tormented Dallas. Buffalo wasn’t able to put away a pretty bad Pittsburg team until late. KC’s defense has been stout all year, but offense isn’t putting up pinball machine points, so give me the Under.

 

One other factor: Buffalo and TB have 1 less day of prep, which is rare during the playoffs. TB gets the worst of the deal because they have to travel.
