Interested in Playoff pool, post 'em here and I will join/donate my money.

Props to Juggler, a great season!

thanks....playoffs start in a few days. we doing this pool?

ed243421

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?

F Me In The Brain

I'm voting 'Eric' but am down for either of the other methods. Gamblin' fool!

Poncier

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.

South of Seattle

I'm down for the playoff pool.

I agree with Poncier, we need to have some form of tiebreaker setup.

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

F Me In The Brain

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?

This works too!

I'm good with Eric's way.

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.

The Juggler

am i missing something?

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 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.

Good, that's the kind of advantage I could use to win this time, lol

Horos

This is like my idea: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=180321

Only one day to get this going, someone make a decision.

ed243421

by friday, noonish

we can go with whatever version gets most votes

i'm okay with yours or ponce's idea. also vote for the total pts in sb as the only tie breaker.

horos--sorry dude, i'm not a fan of that version.

phardin

i vote for ponce's

ed243421

ok

before we get into the playoffs

let's clear up the season 2 payments

i will send out check to juggs today, i wanted a few days to see if there were any mistakes

i will send juggs 170

phardin sends juggs 40

vermont sends sos 20

waiting trophy sends sos 20

i made a mistake about dave, so i am sending sos 20 also

if you guys have already sent out payments, great

if not please do so soon

just pm who you owe to get their address

thanks

ed243421

now, as far as the playoffs go

vote if you want before noon for the version you want

we will do $20 per person

i believe all 10 of us have agreed to do this

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

ed243421

if we do go with spreads

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

Poncier

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.

agreed...there's no winner until the end anyway.

This

ed243421

ok

by the votes we will go with my version

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

ed243421

1st round

cin
hou -3.5

det
no -10.5

atl
nyg -3.5

pit
den +9.5
