NFL PL Endgame, and Playoff Week 3 of 4. Deadline Sun. 1-22 at 20:00 16:26 - Jan 16 with 511 viewsWessiehomesPete

TINJAKE and MFB_CUFC toe to toe. First to post has pretty much no bearing. To predict both New England and Atlanta would be fool's gold. Championship games are littered with away winners. But you never know.. There is no reason to believe that the Steelers and Packers won't go into the hornet's nest and come out winners... This is the final week that determines the NFL PL Champ, and the 3rd of 4 weeks in the Playoffs.

TINJAKE has posted first so MFB must post one game (or both, if he decides to) different. Tinjake is in the position to do a rare double, but far too many points for the Super Bowl to make that a certainly. If MFB predicts both correct then he is 2016/17 Champ. It's that simple. All the "Vegas" picks for the Super Bowl will be posted in 1 week.

As the ancient ESPN pundit Chris "Boomer" Berman is known to say (regardless of the point spreads and who is favourite).. "That's why they play the games"

In hindsight, is anyone that surprised that the Packers and Steelers won on the road? These are teams with massive pedigrees of winning championships.

I'm proud to say I picked both to win and they did.

Results:

Worth 2 points:
Houston 16 at NEW ENGLAND 34
GREEN BAY 34 at Dallas 31

Worth 3 points:
PITTSBURGH 18 at Kansas City 16
Seattle 20 at ATLANTA 36

Next-to-final week of the regular PL ..and week 3 of 4 playoffs..

The Super Bowl Playoffs Table (2 of 4 PL Playoff weeks--same tie-breakers apply):
1. TINJAKE ... (3-1) ...................... 7-1..... (+7) ... (17 points)
2. Wessiehomespete ... (3-1) ........... 6-2 ... (+7) .... (14)
3. BromleyU ... (2-2) ..................... 5-3 ... (+4) .... (11)
4. mfb_cufc ... (2-2) ..................... 4-4 ... (+5) ..... (9)
5. Thrillseeker ... (2-2) .................. 4-4 ... (+5) ..... (9)


Reminder: First to post tie-breaker.. One prediction by MFB must be different from Tinjake.

The Superb Owl Playoffs, this is only week 3 of 4... The Super Bowl will have many points.

Worth 4 points each: (NFL PL Champ crowned next Sunday)

NFC Championship:
GREEN BAY PACKERS at ATLANTA FALCONS (15:05 Eastern time/20:05 England)

AFC Championship:
PITTSBURGH STEELERS at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (18:40/23:40)

** The short story is: Don't sell past champions short (Packers and Steelers) .. The great legendary teams don't care if they play "away".. Anyone who thinks there is no way it will be a Steelers v Packers Super Bowl.. You may be hugely wrong

Good luck all

PACKERS
PATRIOTS

MFB, you have to post one (or both) different. (If both are different then that may actually help you in the playoffs, week 4, the Super Bowl)

While this is the final regular PL week (18), it is only week 3 of 4 in the Playoffs.

You decide which one Tinjake has wrong and you'll win another NFL PL Title.

Pretty clear cut.

Worth 4 points each: (NFL PL Champ crowned today...And Playoffs Week 3 of 4)

NFC Championship:
GREEN BAY PACKERS at ATLANTA FALCONS (15:05 Eastern time/20:05 England)--ATLANTA

AFC Championship:
PITTSBURGH STEELERS at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (18:40/23:40)--NEW ENGLAND

...

I've thought about it in detail, listened to the pundits, read the sport pages. I was "this close" to picking Green Bay, but QB Matt Ryan of the Falcons is having one of those super great seasons. And neither the Pack or the Falcons have a good defense against the pass.

A Steelers v Packers Super Bowl would not surprise me. But I can't disagree with MFB's Pick-2.

As it turns out, the early game will determine the 2016/17 NFL PL Champion. MFB counting on Atlanta, and Tinjake picking Green Bay. (Both predicted New England)

...

Playoff week 4 of 4 (the Superb Owl) will be posted in a week once we know how the Vegas odds have settled... Such as point spread and over-under, plus passing yards and rushing yards, and exact score..
