I hope this result loses
Congrats. Won it on the tiebreaker.
This is filthy money
Oh shit did I actually win?
Yes, I just sent you the sats.
Team USA benchwarmer gets the dub LOL
ETA: thank you
They should have subbed you in because Team International got the win this week. You gotta tell @Undisciplined "put me in coach".
Congrats 👏👏
Well, I've a question.
What if someone wins in first TB, does he also require to win on the second tiebreaker?
For example - if I get exact points and both my picks winning their games, do I still need to win on the counts of touchdowns?
CC @grayruby
Second tiebreaker is only if we are tied after the first tiebreaker. Since there are only two games this week I figured it would be more likely we are still tied after the first tiebreaker.
Ok got it. So it actually means that first we need to win the first tiebreaker. If we win it there's no requirement for the second one.
However I don't think we'll be tied after the first TB, there's a little chance though.
Commanders. PLEASE!!🙏
Chiefs sadly. Cannot bet against them

Touchdown has 6 points or 7?
2/2 but tiebreaker too low. You do pick up 1 point for team international though.
Well, this is just a wake up call for Team USA..
Congrats Team International!!!
Back on winning track 💪💪
Touchdown is 6 points but when you score one you get a point after attempt or an option to try and two point conversion. Almost all touchdowns will ultimately be worth 7 so if you are calculating to match you point total with your touchdown total it is best to use 7.
Eagles
Chiefs
TieBreaker 1: 123 points
TieBreaker 2: 9 touchdown
That's a lot of field goals. Hopefully it doesn't go to second tiebreaker. Haha
My prediction:
9 Touchdowns (9x6): 54
8 Extra points : 8
1 2 point conv : 2
1 Safety : 2
19 3 point : 57
For a total of 123 Points.
Seems completely plausible to me (JK).
My Friday Math skills where lacking.
2 field goals per quarter!
nice breakdown
I got lucky that my completely stupid tie breaker pick happen to break down so nicely
You never know.
2/2 but tiebreaker too low.

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about the NFL playoffs.
Marlow said, “You guys know the NFL just rigs it for the Chiefs, right? Because they need to have Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl. … [T]hat does seem real, right? … I don’t follow sportsball that close. I haven’t watched any football this year, I don’t think. … I’ve seen some of the calls.”

1/2 not this week.
It seems they are inevitable.
Help us saquon Barkley, you're our only hope.
Ugh. I like Saquon. I hope he runs for 200 yard in the SB but I can't stand the Eagles either.
I'm just really not sure how far the phrase "anyone but the chiefs" actually extends... I am also not an eagles fan.
