the nfl 11-12 playoff picture prediction thread

denver, san fran, houston, giants

all underdogs baby

i'll keep track of my own score, 2-2 so far

apprently i underestimated the difficulty to score without a using a strict format, on a 4 game schedule...
 
there's no need to be snarky - scanning through the thread for scores is a lot easier if everybody uses the same format.

if you copy and paste the scores, you just have to highlight your pick and press <control><b>. saves having to type out the names.

use whatever format you want. if you decide to use something different from the rest of us, you'll just have to keep your own score.

i understand it's easier to score using a unified format

with a 16 game schedule, well, surely i'll comply

but we are talking 4 games here

it's easier for me to type out who i think will win, and tally my own score, than it is to have to highlight/bold 4 times

i hate bolidng

no snark bro, no snark

Odds to win superbowl 46 as of 1/9/12

Green Bay Packers 2 to 1
New England Patriots 2.85 to 1
New Orleans Saints 3.85 to 1
Baltimore Ravens 7 to 1
San Francisco 49ers 15 to 1
New York Giants 17 to 1
Houston Texans 38 to 1
Denver Broncos 45 to 1

My red and gold tinted glasses are showing me the niners are a pretty solid bet right now. Best money of the bunch IMO. I would love to see the packers/Ravens/Patriots get upset this week so that the niners have an easier superbowl opponent and possibly a home game in the NFC championship. Go Giants!
 
At that high of odds, the Texans don't seem like such a bad pick... I don't think the Packers are 19 times more likely to win the Super Bowl than the Texans. I think the Texans are actually a pretty good team, just a bit streaky. This is the playoffs though, and streaky isn't necessarily a bad thing.
 
upsets? only the giants pick is a possible upset - the other three games you picked the favourite.

lol youre a pedantic man alasdair!

You'd get odds of 95/1 for that. Worth a euro maybe. Theyre offering 19/1 on the niners over here.
