From a strategic standpoint, Thrillo, I would have waited till Sarboy posted, because if he posts his requisite 2 different then he automatically advances to the semifinals.
Having said that, you can edit your predictions later in the week,.. but then again, so can Sar. One edit each, that's it.
The "overall table" .. That will continue straight through till the Super Bowl.
The four eliminated from the Superb Owl, it means your efforts will be noted as we move forward. Don't stop participating...
Could be an interesting contrast if the table leader ends up top while Not being the Superb Owl champion.

So Leadbelly, you reckon on all home bankers then? So how's I go for aways?
All matches look pretty close to call and one way or another we should get a result in our match-up.

When the Lions had a 14 point lead, I thought your theory of the Cowboys choking was coming true. But they battled back well in the end. Robbed by a referee's decision? You sound like a Premier League manager/coach.  | |

oh dear, same post as for Sarboy v Thrillseeker...
Pete, you are welcome to edit your post after you see RSCO's because he has the automatic "higher seed" tie-breaker, so if he picks two different from you he is on to the semis. But then, James is afforded one edit as well... *reminder, the overall table will continue with other types of picks in the semis, so who knows, the "table" may reflect something other than who wins the playoff championship:) ...
Actually, looking forward to see who edits by the 21:30 Saturday deadline, haha, meaning anyone [Post edited 6 Jan 2015 6:22]

The way we picked, I need our nearby local Ravens, up the road from Wash DC, to win, otherwise you are in the semifinals.
And I can't believe you forced my hand to pick the Cowboys. If I am correct it won't be bittersweet as a Redskins supporter to tick Dallas to win. Frankly, it will suck. Honestly? Hope you are correct, Packers win. Yikes.
edit due to a glaring typo. [Post edited 6 Jan 2015 6:10]

I wouldn't worry Pete.
I haven't a clue regarding the teams/ games and if you have ever noticed I always go for a Patriots win no matter who they play. This is because they have England in their team name so as you can see my reasons for picking teams is very scientific.
I just enjoy taking part. If people are prepared, in their own time, to operate a league I will support it by participating | | | |

Some very good match ups this weekend and if I'm right on all four I will be amazed. As long as the Pats advance I don't much care! | |

Know what you mean, Leeds. Personally, so long as Cowboys don't win (forced to predict em by MFB, ow.? Rather not get points than predicting a Dallas win. Good grief.
Good luck this weekend,mate. | |

Hey Pete, what happens if I pick the same four as Durham? I'm thinking about the "so-called overall table". |  |

That's more for informational purposes. No so-called prize for the so-called table
Rules remain. Only two may be the same. The third (or fourth) the same as your opponent is worth no points. | |

You would go through on superior seeding as two of your predictions would be ignored but you would match Durham's for the other two. Worst you would finish would be 5-5.
Another case for some sort of tie-breaker methinks. | | | |

We're still on this?
So not only would a PLer have had the first to post tie-breaker, that would also have limited their opponent to a maximum of two outcomes the same.
Whatever it is worth, 3 of 4 higher seeds are faring better after the first leg. And you and Leadbelly stand at 3-3, still all to play for -- so there is something to be said for the higher seed.*meaning the last 4 weeks were de facto playoff weeks, were they not?
It was stated for weeks that the seedings would be the tie-breaker. I didn't hear anyone complaining.
In fact, I'm not sure why RSCO wants to tweak the rules on the fly. All he needs to do is post two different than Durham and he is on to the semifinals -- although, Durham is welcome to do a last minute edit.
Same for Sarboy v Thrillseeker.
**Gerry, why don't you just keep predicting and perhaps finish top of the "so-called overall table?" Create a talking point. -- you need to go 3 of 4 versus Leeds because 2-2 is not enough (5-5 pk tie-breker win). Anyone is welcome to edit by no later than 21:29 time code post. That is strategy, sod first to post breaker.
I relaunched the NFL PL after a one year absence and was happy with streamlined format. We can always fine tune the league for September 2015.
Perhaps even to reintroduce the two 2-pointers:) [Post edited 7 Jan 2015 17:31]
