Welcome to the playoff round of the 2nd annual NFL Contest!
This contest is closed to new players; this is a place for the final six to duke it out for the final bragging rights to the NFL season.

The Rules:
Wild card weekend: each player must pick TWO teams to win, and BOTH teams must win in order for the player to advance. The teams can be from any division or any conference. The trick will be that in the next round you can only use ONE of the teams you used in the previous round. You can pick 2 new teams or use one team from the previous week and 1 new team. So, for example, if you pick team A and team B and they both win, then in the next round you may select 2 new teams altogether or use team A OR team B again but you may not use them both again in the next week.
Divisional playoff weekend: same as the first weekend, each players picks 2 teams to advance just like the previous round (you can use only 1 repeat team from the previous week or 2 new teams; any division or any conference you like)
Conference championship weekend: You pick 1 Team to advance to the super bowl, no restrictions on your selection in this round, simply pick your winner.
Super bowl: pick the winner and as a tiebreaker (if needed) guess the margin of victory (how many points will the team you picked win by)
Picks must be in by midnight on Friday of gameweek.
Hopefully it doesn't sound too complicated (it seems that way as you read through it but it is pretty straight forward). I made it so that if you have strong conviction on a team you could in theory pick them each round so you won't have to go against them. Also, since this is the playoffs it should be tougher, thus some twists and added difficulty, but not too difficult so hopefully we have some guys duking it out until the end).
The prize will be a 90% silver half dollar that I will send the winner (probably a
Franklin half).
Let me know if you have any questions...and good luck!
ready for some..
