but we need a tiebreaker

i'm thinking something like..

the first game each weekend ( the saturday early game) is the game we use

any more suggestions?

I suggest the tiebreaker should be the Superbowl game.

if we are making the picks before the playoffs start, how can we use point spreads?

aren't these kinds of pools just about picking the winners?

I think in Ed's pool, we would bet the spread week to week, just like we've been doing all along. In Horos' pool we would make all of picks before the playoffs start and we would be picking the winners.

Poncier

Horos' pool idea is tricky due to bye weeks.

I've done a playoff pool before where you rank each playoff team with a value from 1-12. You get that number of points each time that team wins...

example: lets use these as the teams:
AFC............................ NFC
1. New England................1. GB
2. BAltimore...................2. SF
3. Houston.....................3. NO
4. Denver......................4. NYG
5. Pitt..........................5. ATL
6. Cincy .......................6. DET

So you fill out something like this:
12: GB
11: NE
10: NO
9: BAL
8: PIT
7: SF
6: NYG
5: HOU
4: DEN
3: ATL
2: CIN
1: DET

In week 1 if the wildcard round winners are ATL, PIT, NO and HOU, you get 3, 8, 10 and 5 points for a total of 26
In the divisional round lets say all 4 home teams win, GB, NE, BAL, SF, you get 12, 11, 9 and 7 points for a total of 39 for the week, 65 total
In the title games NE and SF win, you get 11 and 7 for 18 for the week and 83 total
And NE wins the Super Bowl (woohoo), you get 11 for the week and 94 total.

We use total points in the SB as tiebreaker.
You basically want to put 12 points on the team you think will win the SB, you want to make the first week losers values 1, 2, 3 and 4 (but if one of those teams goes on a run you get hurt).


As for a point spread pool, we'd just pick weekly (I would also pick weakly), but we certainly need a tiebreaker with only 11 games there's bound to be a tie, so again I'd assume total SB points would make sense or we could predict how may complaint threads will show up on the porch during the next PJ ticket presale and the closest to that would win the tiebreaker.

The Juggler

that's the kind of playoff pool i'm used to ponce...

Poncier

Plus an NCAA type pool really can't work since you don't know which team goes where for the divisional round until after wildcard weekend cause they reseed.

If you know how brackets work its easy to get the matchups in the right place. Been doing it for 10 years just like March Madness. I'm down for this or your method.

i loved it.

haha...even if it went to ot, most likely outcome would have been a fg either way though...

South of Seattle

I was hoping for a special teams miracle.

The Waiting Trophy Man

If Dallas wins, or loses by less than 4, s-o-s and the juggler tie for 1st, and me and davidtrios tie for 2nd. I think!

The Waiting Trophy Man

I think I owe somebody 20 bucks, lol

this is what i got for money


400 in the pool

minus the 90 i hit for 6-for-6

minus the 20 juggs hit for 6-for-6

= 290 in the pool

this is 160 for 1st place

70 for 2nd place

and the 60 left over in the 6-for-6 pot

the 60 gets split between 1st and 2nd place

so

juggs in 1st place gets 190

sos in 2nd place gets 100

so

if phardin could send juggs the 20 he owes, i will send juggs the remaining 170

and

sos owed the pot 40

so if davidtrios, vermont, and waiting trophy could send sos the 20 each they owe

we will be all set

lemme know if i have made any mistakes

ed243421

not that i care, but was i supposed to receive the $20 the week of my 6 for 6 or is that what you're talking about with phardin sending it to me? i never got anything for that. it's 20 bucks so i don't really care but was just curious...

and i am absolutely down for a playoff pool. i liked ponce's idea a from last week.

A hearty pat on the back.


Thanks Eric for running this again...its a lot of work and it is appreciated.

vermont21

Thanks all! Special thanks to Eric for all his hard work. Let's hope I can make some $$ back in the playoff pool. I'll send the remaining $20 to whomever.
