2018 NFL Playoffs Pick'em Thread

Who will win Super Bowl LII

The playoffs start on Saturday so here's the bracket thread. This is the same deal from my thread last season and Killah's from two years ago so rules are the same as ever but here there are again for those who need a reminder:

Two Brackets; One for the whole playoffs, one revised bracket after every week. I'd recommend both typing the brackets out on here, while also using this site (http://playtronics.net/nfl/bracket) some of us used last year as another means of filling it out for everyone else to see. It should end up looking something like this:

Weekly:
#5 Tennessee Titans @ #4 Kansas City Chiefs
#6 Atlanta Falcons @ #3 Los Angeles Rams

#6 Buffalo Bills @ #3 Jacksonville Jaguars
#5 Carolina Panthers @ #4 New Orleans Saints

Overall:
#5 Tennessee Titans @ #4 Kansas City Chiefs
#6 Atlanta Falcons @ #3 Los Angeles Rams

NFC #2 Minnesota Vikings vs AFC #2 Pittsburgh Steelers
1. Failure to submit a prediction by gametime will result in a forfeit of that game: no exceptions. If the game kicks off at 1:00 EST and you submit at 1:02 EST, tough shit.

2. In addition to this, any edits to posts after the first games kick off will result in the forfeiting of all prior games. If you make your guesses for the saturday games and sunday games in the same post, then decide to edit your sunday afternoon pick on sunday morning by editing that post, you will be given losses for the two saturday games. Instead, make a new post with your changed picks.

3. Do NOT get into discussions/debates with other peoples' picks. No flaming, no bashing, no "omg why did you pick them" etc. Tips are OK, but it's preferable to keep them in the NFL discussion thread instead.

This game will be split into two parts. Scoring for each part will be done separately, and the scoring for each part will also be combined to give an overall winner.


Part 1: Weekly Picks
This part's easy. For each week after the first (or the first too, if you prefer) the matchups for the week will be posted in the thread. Simply choose the winners for each matchup sometime between when they're posted (Sunday night) to when the first game the next week is played (Saturday afternoon/night). Each correct pick is worth one point.


Part 2: Overall Picks
For this part, you have to pick the overall outcome of every playoff game, from the wild card games to the Super Bowl. There are 11 games, and 1 point is awarded for choosing the winner of each game (only the winner is necessary, ie it does not matter if the #1 seeded Patriots beat the #5 seeded Bengals or the #6 seeded Ravens, you still get 1 point if the Patriots win).

Since all four matchups are the same in week 1, you'll only have to post those once. However, after that, take special note of the seedings! The lowest remaining seed in each conference plays the #1 seed after the wild card round, and the highest remaining seed (3-5) plays the #2 seed. The higher seed always plays at home, so remember that while making your picks. If you do not follow the seedings carefully, you're liable to fuck it all up and not be awarded any points from those games.

Good luck!

fyi you've got the Bills winning the Wild Card, but then the Jaguars playing in the Divisional Round (which also messes up your matchups - should be Bills at Patriots and Chiefs at Steelers in that case).

I don't usually do these but I voted the Vikings in the poll when it first went up and I changed my mind.

http://playtronics.net/nfl/bracket#168155

I defy overly formal formatting

Jags > Bills
Chefs > Titans
Rams > Falcons
Vikes > Panthers
RIP all wild cards imo

Pats < Chefs
Stoolers
> Jags
Iggles < Saints
Vikes
> Rams
---
Stoolers > Chefs
Vikes < Saints

Saints > Stoolers
