Yeah, now to the weird part of the game where you try to pick the Super Bowl loser.

the Chief

Titans 57

Trevor

Fwiw, I saw this post and emailed Drexl trying to help him out. He responded fairly quickly to me, maybe thinking I was you Ken, with a pick of Green Bay and 42. I just saw his email now, but he responded Saturday afternoon. I know rules are rules and he’s out, but figured I’d publicly acknowledge his attempt at least.

PeMo

Tennessee 51

lwhy?

San Francisco 60

Quack

Green Bay 52

Tennessee @ 50

Paging sleepyhead55 to thread 649483....

Added to OP:

• Once we get past the Conference Finals, I will go ahead and post each players' respective Super Bowl picks. (Each player will have no more than one eligible team.)
• If more than one player has the same team, please PM your total points pick to me. This denies anyone an unfair advantage. If you are the only player to have one of the teams, you do NOT need to submit a guess for total points.
• There is a chance that your Super Bowl tiebreaker will be the same as that chosen by another player. So when you submit your number, please also indicate whether you wish me to ADD or SUBTRACT points from your guess to make your pick unique. If you do not, I will flip a coin. In either case, I will move your pick in one direction just far enough to make it unique.
• Once all of the guesses for a particular team have been made, I will publish them openly to this thread. Once that happens you will NOT be able to change yours.

Changes made to posts above this will be ignored. If you wish to change your selection, you must add a new post to this thread.

Jericho

FYI, you didn't update my pick to KC

kenbuzz

Because you posted it at the exact same time I posted and I didn't see it.

I'll update, it was before the deadline... everyone else, the pool is closed.

So, the next game will either make my job a LOT easier, or a LOT more difficult. Lol.

If the Packers win, the pool will be on autopilot, Jericho (Packers) vs Quack (Chiefs) in the Super Bowl. Sit back, relax, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

If the Niners win, we will have five players who will all have the Chiefs, which means it will all come down to whomever can guess closest to the total points. I will ask rabbit77, Cardsfan111, Dr Evil, Decker, and lwhy? to send their tiebreaker pick via PM. Also, as described above, your pick will need to include either ADD/UP/MORE or SUBTRACT/DOWN/LESS, to let me know what to do if your pick is identical to an already-made pick.

But I'm ahead of myself. Tune in to FOX and enjoy the game!

Had to throw the Hail Mary after the Ravens choking one week too early screwed everything up.

Okay, we have five players still alive, and all of them have the same pick (Kansas City), so the pool will come down to tiebreaker.

Everyone, please PM me your tiebreak pick. I'll keep them in confidence until I have all five of them, at which point they will be revealed and everyone will be locked in - no changes will be permitted once they are published.

Now, since it's possible that you may submit a value that someone before you has already submitted, I may need to adjust your pick upward or downward to ensure that it is unique. When you submit your value, please also indicate whether I should adjust your value UP or DOWN if necessary. You don't have to do this, but if there's a duplicate pick and you don't let me know, I'll flip a coin to pick a direction.

As always, if the final score of the Super Bowl splits the difference between two of your picks, the earlier pick wins. So even though it's a minor edge, getting your picks in to me sooner rather than later is in your interest.

Good luck!

The pool is now OPEN for Super Bowl tiebreaker picks (via PM).
