The Regular season is over and despite a promising 5-0 start with a traded QB after the demise of our own in practice the Vikes once again fall short of making the playoffs. But do not despair we can still win bragging rights in Pick 4.

But on with the game. With the playoff rounds comes a change in the rules. Please VERIFY the rules at this thread

--> Link to Playoff Rules Thread for the rules following challenged <--

A Correct Pick is worth 2 points

Well the over/under is going to be easy for that Lions/Seahawks game haha. I'm pretty sure it'll finish below 430 points, or we're in for 1 hell of a game xD.

Also I think you said the home team would be in all caps, but here you have the road teams in caps.

Houston -3.5 over 36.5

Detroit +8 Under 43

Green Bay -5 over 44.5

Pittsburgh -10 under 46

I don't understand this or care any more than I did a year ago. Who did I pick to win? If I did something wrong I'll just take the blue Teddy Bridgewater Honorary Thanks for Playing Nemmy You're a Real Winner Participation Ribbon.

Green Bay -5 (over 44.5)

I play against my curse lol. This way my curse has to figure out how to screw me. For example, the curse knows I want the Packers to lose, so if I pick the Packers to lose, then my curse will make sure the Packers win to screw me twice. Now the curse has to decide. If it lets the Packers win, then at least I win the pick 4. Well that's how it works if it's a straight up pick anyway, now that there's a line, the curse can still screw me twice. It just needs let the Packers win by a FG. There you go folks, expect the Packers to win by a FG. Probably a last second 55 yard FG with them trailing by 1, where they had to gain 40 yards in 20 seconds with no timeouts just to get into FG range. Most of those yards coming via a phantom PI call on a defender who fell down, on a ball thrown 10 yards out of bounds.
