we got everyone from the league saying they want in the playoff pool
except for sos and davidtrios
do we want
the horos pool - pick every game winner through the super bowl before the playoffs start
the ponce pool - give each of the 12 teams in playoffs a value 1-12
or
my pool - pick against the spread with half point added if necessary
i vote for mine, i just like spreads a little more
whats your vote?

I'm voting 'Eric' but am down for either of the other methods. Gamblin' fool!
I'm fine with Eric's spread pool, but we need a good tirbreaker cause with only 11 games its almost a guarantee we'll have a tie.
my idea for the tiebreaker is
we all pick the spreads as normal
but each weekend, we pick the total points scored for the 1st game played each weekend
for instance
the 1st game this weekend is cincy at houston
if i pick 37-13, or 50 points total
and the final score is actually 21-20
then my tiebreaker total is 9
50 - 41 = 9
if i pick 10 - 3, or 13
and the final score is 21-20
my tiebreaker score is 28
41 - 13 = 28
we all have a tiebreaker total that carrys on each weekend through the sb
the lowest total wins the tiebreaker
this way it's not just the sb total for a tiebreaker

Prior to playoffs we pick who is in SB, what final score is & who covers?
for example....NYG vs. DEN, 17-15 NYG Win, DEN covers spread. Not sure if we need to get to that level but just picking the 2 teams and the victor might separate any folks who tied?
The love he receives is the love that is saved

Me too, but I want to pick the final score for every game; not just the first game of the weekend. If we're going to do it for one game, why not do it for all the games? OR, if we're only picking the final score in one game, then I think we should get to choose whatever game we want.

if so
winner takes all , $180 ( 200 - their own 20 = 180 )
i dont wanna collect and send out winnings so we just pay the winner at the end
if we do go with my version ( spreads )
i will put out lines this afternoon, and each friday after that

i had suggested picking the total for the 1st game each weekend to give us a tiebreaker
i just think it's a better way to tiebreak instead of just the super bowl
the one suggestion i do like is that you could pick the total of ANY game each weekend to use as a tiebreaker that continues each weekend through the super bowl
lemme know

I think it makes more sense to have everyone picking the total of the same game. Level playing field.
That doesn't make any sense to me at all. Why do we all need to pick the same game? We've been picking our own games all season; they weren't decided for us.

pick the games against the spread, just like the regular season
the tiebreaker will be - pick the total of any 1 game each weekend
everyone will have a running total for the tiebreaker that i explained earlier
you can either post the score for both teams or give just a total for the game
it's the same number either way
pm me all selections and 1 total each week before the kickoff of the 1st game played
after the 1st weekend round, i will pm my picks to the person in last place
i will try to do this as soon as i post spreads so i won't make picks after i have seen any other picks
if i left anything out, lemme know

we all have a tiebreaker total that carrys on each weekend through the sb
the lowest total wins the tiebreaker
this way it's not just the sb total for a tiebreaker

ed's way is basically like how we've done this thing the whole season correct? we just pick against the spread each week?
Yep, only difference is the tiebreaker! I guess since there's only 11 games we need to pick the final score in some games in case of a tie.

I'm so happy with my righteous self
i vote for just doing total points in sb for tie breaker then...but i'll go with whatever the consensus is.
I suggested that in an earlier post, but nobody responded to it. I think that'd be a great tiebreaker.

yeah. i can see myself forgetting about about having to do it every week from here to the super bowl...
Good, that's the kind of advantage I could use to win this time, lol
