The Under Card!

Wild card weekend saw 3 road teams victorious, and one Under Card contestent knocked out. Farewell C-Hawk Up, you fought the good fight.

Kudos to HawkCrazy for getting within a TD of the actual final score. NYHawkFreak would have done better, but his estimate was based on the Giants actually scoring some points too!

The same tie breaking rules apply, so remember to post your total scores with your selections. If you want to speed things up, feel free to pick a Saturday winner and a Sunday winner, as we're running out of weeks to crown an Under Card Champion!

As usual, you only need to pick the winner of one game, no point spread. Since it's the playoffs, all teams are eligible, even if you've already picked for and/or against them. However, you'll also have to include a point total for the game. You can pick the same team as another contestent, but not the same point total.

So, if you think the Giants will beat the Panthers 24-17, you would submit your pick as Giants over Panters (41). If two people pick the Giants, the winner would be the one closest to the actual total points, WITHOUT GOING OVER.

One more tie-breaker rule change is that all picks need to be submitted via the Comment section of this post on the blog. Do not send your pick via email. This way you can see what games/point totals have already been picked, without waiting for me to post the info from my email.

If all contestents get knocked out, all will carry over until the final week. We'll continue until the Superbowl. If there's still no clear winner at that time, the one with the closest guess to the actual total points in the big game will be declared the winner!

Don't get too caught up in these new rules. Just remember, submit your guess for total score along with your winner, submit via the blog, and let you game do your talking!
