10. I'll take another stab at it.
Did not do so well last week. Should have been 2-2 but things are what they are.

I'm taking the Ravens with the points. Wouldn't be surprised if they win outright.

Falcons at home in the dome with Matty Ice. Win and cover.

Ten points is a lot but I think the Seahawks used up all their magic last week. Bears win and cover.

Jets won the first meeting, got smoked in the second. This one is closer. Pats win but Jets cover.

15. I assume you're picking the 8-9 team to cover
even that is a stretch.

25. Wow
Lions_fan is 6-2. Congrats.

I noticed you counted diabetic-man's results. He didn't play week 1 so unless you want me to, I won't add him to the standings. I will also eliminate others that didn't play this week (not sure who that is yet) unless you want me to keep them there.

27. Let's keep it as planned...
eliminate those that miss.

Note to diabeticman: When we started we asked that every one play every week in order to be counted in the final results. We're happy to have you participate this week and for the remainder of the playoffs, but your overall won-loss record won't be tallied with the others. Sorry you missed last week.

28. All 3-1 picked a different loser.
Had Seattle gone for two at the end of the game I would have at least gotten a push. Wonder how much money was lost on that decision?

30. Fun weekend of football, even with the Pats loss.
Love the matchups for next week. And I'm stunned that this is the first time since Dec. of 1941 that the Packers and Bears have met in the playoffs. With both team's long history that's amazing.

31. I had been looking forward to that Steelers / Ravens game
it didn't disappoint.

Packers/Bears: they played in the same conference/division since 1933 -- I guess there could be only one playoff contender until 1978 when the wildcard was introduced. Still an amazing stat considering how storied these franchises are.
