Ahira's Hangar

Same deal as last year:
Pick the playoff winners for Wildcard Weekend, Divisionals, League Championship and the Super Bowl. And, most importantly, predict the scores of those games. Not only does your record count but the LEAST number of negative points you accumulate counts as well.

example: Colts 44 Chargers 40-if you predicted Colts 38 Chargers 35 you would be 1-0 but also -12 (look at the '07 Playoff/SB thread to see how the scoring goes).

You can erase your negative numbers like this:
exact score: +20
total points: +15
closest pick of the week: +10

just kidding...

I was expecting to see Danlo dancing in this thread this morning.

Wildcard Saturday:
Cardinals move on by stopping Atlanta's running game 30-24 Kurt Warner 271 pass yd 2 TDs, Larry Fitzgerald 101 rec yd 1 TD, Anquon Boldin 72 rec yd 1 TD. Darren Sproles runs wild v. Indianapolis: 105 rush yd 2 TDs, 45 rec yd, 176 return yd Chargers 23-17 in OT!!!

current standings (yes they'll look weird at 1st):
danlo 2-0 -42
bigred 1-1 -1 (in great shape for closest for the week)
dd 1-1 -12
Cleburne 1-1 -24
Mr. S 0-2 -3
kins 0-2 -10
Menolly 0-2 12 missed the total SD/IND score by 1 pt!
B&C 0-2 -15
cali 0-2 -22

Wow, this is easier than the regular season, whew!!! And, just for duchess:

Wildcard Sunday:
Two tough defensive games: Ed Reed for the Ravens and Brian Dawkins for the Eagles were big difference makers. Reed seemed to run for 120 yd but ended up returning a Pennington interception 64 yd for a TD 27-Miami 9. Philly beat Minnesota 26-14 with Brian Westbrook scoring on a 71 yd screen, 83 rec yd, Donovan McNabb 300 pass yd 1 TD.

current standings:
(it will make sense as things even out)
danlo 4-0 -56
Cleburne 3-1 -27 missed Balt/Mia total score by 1 pt!
Mr. S 2-2 -9+10=+1 (closest scores of the week)
kins 2-2 -11
bigred 2-2 -17
dd 2-2 -29
B&C 2-2 -30+15=-15 nailed the total score of Phi/Minn!!
cali 1-3 -35
Menolly 0-4 -14

Next weekend is crucial as it's the last 4 games to be played:
Wildcard 4
Divisonals 4
League Championship 2
Superbowl 1

I don't think we've ever seen someone pick to most games and have a huge number of negative points...(Like I seem to be doing )
