Howdy, stackers. Here are the pick'em results through the divisional round.
We did have 2 players get perfect scores this week, nice work @Carresan and @Bell_curve. We also picked up a late joiner @kepford, welcome to the party!
I'll open up the submissions for the conference championship games later this week

The future looked so bright last week. Now things are bleak.
Aye. What a stinker for the two of us
Pretty much makes a profit impossible for the year in moneyline bets. Would need to hit both this week and then one team to be favoured by 30 points in the Super Bowl and hit the underdog. Haha
I picked Patriots to win super bowl after they beat Ravens on Sunday night, almost 10 to 1 odds.
My hope was to jinx them, so far unsuccessful
I use futures and moneyline to hedge my emotions
Might pay off well but I think whoever comes out of the NFC will beat them.
I don't trust the Rams defense
They came up big on 4th down and timely interceptions like the one in OT
of course they gave up a TD on 4th and long at the end of regulation
Their D definitely regressed in the latter half of the year but they have had a lot of success picking off Darnold. Seahawks will try to run the ball. I am guessing they sell out to stop the run early until Darnold proves he can beat them on 2nd and 3rd and long.
In the first game at SoFi, Darnold threw 4 int and they were in a position to win the game on a long field goal, 21-19
Rams blew a 16 point lead in the 4th quarter in the second game: punt return TD by Shahid because the punter kicked a line drive and outkicked his coverage
Charbonnet 'recovered' the 2 point lateral fumble
Especially on the road, the Rams are a different team especially defense on the road.
All their losses except one have been on the road
I give them credit for winning 2 road playoff wins
Ironically Seattle has been a better road than home team, 8-1
edit:
Patriots are 8-0 on the road
Yep, this was the pivotal week for sure. That's ok, it was still fun
Aye or Ayuik
Aiyuk was a stinker for sure
@Carresan doesn't watch American football lol
On a serious note, I think people who don't watch football make better picks/predictions, your eyes deceive you and over react to the most recent game, recency bias
Right now my eyes say Seahawks and Patriots look unbeatable
Hahaha, I must admit that I am watching a bit. This week, the Bills vs Broncos match was on national TV. Having said that I am just following what I have learnt from @grayruby : wild ass guessing
That's why I dominate the soccer contests
What an incredible outcome would be you winning UEFA pool and me winning the NFL contest!!
I agree with that recency bias effect
