    I was trying to make the picks more difficult, making round 1 picks influence your round 2 picks. In MLB they got a fantasy round where you have to predict the entire post-season before it starts when all the divisions and wild cards are clinched. I tried to apply that here.

    I thought I would predict the Divisional round once Wildcard is over.

    Like this!

    NFC
    Saints @ Hawks = Hawks
    Niners @ Panthers = Niners

    AFC
    Chargers @ Broncs = Chargers
    Colts @ Pats = Pats

    Still don't know what's happening here so I will guess a winner from my predictions prior round:

    Chargers v Broncos - Chargers win.
    Chiefs v Pats - Pats win.

    Saints v Seahawks - Seahawks win.
    49ers v Panthers - Panthers win.

    Yea the catch was that you had to predict both rounds in one go, to spice it up a bit.

    ranking goes as follows: I'm sticking with the picks from two weeks ago but the points are counted this way: if you opted for the bye team win, you get a point if you got it right, opting for the away team in the divisional round gets you a point no matter what team played. That way everybody has had equal possible picks.

    Example: I picked the Ravens - Panthers game but I opted for a Ravens win, the away team. Eventually it was the 49'ers - panthers and the away team won. Scoring a point.

    It was the only way I could think of to spread chances even for people to score points.

    StanDman 6-2
    Cove 6-2
    BigChief 5-3
    PompeyLapras 5-3
    BabyhornetDan 4-4
    PompeyMeowth 3-5

    Anyways this was a bit of a mess, will try to set up something better next year
