MattyIce : Is it just me... or are you surprised at how many people are going for the Ravens when the " experts " are saying the Steelers are going to win? 

Is anybody sure they do not want to change their picks? 

The first ever Pick 'Em playoffs start today! We're guaranteed to see some very exciting football this weekend in the NFL! As always, good luck to everyone, and lets finally get these playoffs underway.

Here are everyone's picks for the first day of playoff action:

NORTH VIZZED CONFERENCE
styrofoamboots : * no picks *
tornadocam : Cardinals, Ravens ( 26 - 24 )

jparks34 : * no picks *
patar4097 : Cardinals, Ravens

SOUTH VIZZED CONFERENCE
mrfe : Cardinals, Steelers
Kruzer : Cardinals, Steelers

pacman1755 : Panthers ( 10 - 24 ), Ravens
A user of this : Cardinals ( 28 - 18 ), Ravens

5 - 1 Cardinals, 4 - 2 Ravens

* pacman1755 is the only one who picked Panthers over Cardinals

Looks like a few people are going to be upset. However, had I had to go at it this week, I would have been 2-0.  
I will include scenarios on how to move on from here on out. I wanted to do it during the pre-season, but with the set up that we had ( which will be changed next season ) , it would have been too difficult to come up with all scenarios. 

Current scores: 
NORTH VIZZED CONFERENCE: 

styrofoamboots : 0 - 2 
Win out, and have tornadocam lose out to move on. 
tornadocam : 1 - 1 ( would win tie breaker for correctly predicting the tie - breaker game ) 
Win at least 1 game, and you move on. 

jparks34 : 0 - 2 
Win out, and have patar go 1 - 1 ( would have to correctly predict the tie - breaker, and patar would have to incorrectly guess it ) , or Win out, and have patar lose out. 
patar4097 : 1 - 1 
Win at least 1 game, and correctly guess the tie - breaker, or win out. 

SOUTH VIZZED CONFERENCE: 
mrfe : 0 - 2 
Perform better that Kruzer.
Kruzer : 0 - 2 
Perform better than mrfe. 

pacman1755 : 2 - 0 ( would win tie breaker for correctly predicting the tie - breaker game )  
Win at least 1 game, and you move on.
A user of this : 1 - 1 
Win out, and have pacman lose out. 

After the first day of playoff action, none of the games played yesterday were really that exciting, in my opinion. We the saw the Cardinals offense do less than nothing as they couldn't even manage 100 yards on offense. And the Ravens completely took over the game in the second half. Hopefully, we'll see a couple of closer games today. Here are everyone's picks for day 2 of Wild Card Weekend:

NORTH VIZZED CONFERENCE
styrofoamboots : * no picks *
tornadocam : Bengals, Cowboys ( 1 - 1 for the week )

jparks34 : * no picks *
patar4097 : Colts ( 27 - 31 ), Cowboys ( 1 - 1 for the week )

SOUTH VIZZED CONFERENCE
mrfe : Bengals, Cowboys ( 17 - 31 ) ( 0 - 2 for the week )
Kruzer : Colts, Cowboys ( 21 - 34 ) ( 0 - 2 for the week )

pacman1755 : Colts, Lions ( 2 - 0 for the week )
A user of this : Bengals, Cowboys ( 1 - 1 for the week )

Well, can't say that there were a lot of upsets for this week in the Pick Em league. As for the NFL, it went just as I would have predicted, but not necessarily how I would have liked. 

Now, here is where things get tricky, so we can have a 12th place, 11th place, etc. I have to figure out who faces who. But first, the people who get to play to move on for this week. 

This week's match ups are as follows: 
NORTH VIZZED CONFERENCE
( 4 ) patar4097 vs MattyIce ( 1 ) Pick the score of Ravens @ Patriots for your tie - breaker.
( 3 ) tornadocam vs thing1 ( 2 ) Pick the score of Colts @ Broncos for your tie - breaker.

SOUTH VIZZED CONFERENCE
( 3 ) Kruzer vs Barathemos ( 2  ) Pick the score of Cowboys @ Packers for your tie - breaker.
( 5 ) pacman1755 vs megamanmaniac ( 1 ) Pick the score of Panthers @ Seahawks for your tie - breaker.

Consolation match - ups 
( 6 ) styrofoamboots vs mrfe ( 6 ) Pick the score of Ravens @ Patriots for your tie - breaker.  Winner of this match - up gets 11th place. The loser will get 12th. 
( 5 ) jparks34 vs  A user of this ( 4 ) Pick the score of Panthers @ Seahawks for your tie - breaker.  Winner of this match - up gets 9th. The loser will get 10th.

I hate to pick all the home teams here, but I really don't see any of them losing. I don't like it, but I am having trouble trying to pick an away team. I can almost guarantee that I will NOT win all the games. Frankly, I was leaning a considerable amount towards the Colts, but for the moment, I will keep the Broncos here.

MattyIce : Are you sure about that Patriots pick? You know the history between the Patriots and the Ravens in the playoffs... XD
