NFL Playoff Prediction Pool

Spun off another thread - predict the playoffs.
Give each team a unique score from 1 to 12. For each game they win in the playoffs, you score that many points. Player with the most points, wins.
Tie breaker is, in order :
1 - Ranking the superbowl winner highest.
2 - Ranking the runner up highest
3 - Closest prediction to the total points scored in the superbowl. Prediction to be made if necessary once 'bowl finalists are known. If still tied, shared victory.
For example, you give Green Bay 10 points and Minnesota 2. If Green Bay win this weekend, you score 10. If the Vikes win, you score 2. If they then win in the next round, you get another 2 points.
Send predictions to me by PM or in the thread. If there's 10 or more entrants, I'll paypal the winner $25.
Deadline for predictions, kick off on Saturday (using the timestamps here). If I've made any loopholes... let me know.
My predictions are as follows.
NFC:
Seattle - 11
Green Bay - 10
San Francisco - 6
Atlanta - 5
Washington - 4
Minnesota - 3
AFC:
Denver - 12
New England - 9
Houston - 8
Indianopolis - 7
Baltimore - 2
Cincinatti - 1
Anyone else fancy trying the same and seeing how we score on here? First tie breaker is the person who ranked the Superbowl winner highest, the second the runners up, and the third tie breaker total points scored in the superbowl (predictions made in the run up to the 'bowl).

Maybe Wiz wants to make this an official site contest? Wasn't there $100 laying around to be donated to the next contest?
It's obviously up to The Wizard, but we have been discussing something for the NCAA Tournament.

Basketball not my long suit. Even planned trip 1 year to Vegas and forget about March madness finals. Every place was booked, took blind reservations thru online site. Pay x, then find out where you were staying. years ago and had to tell Josie we were staying at place we never heard of TERRIBLES. LOL
But am 1 and 0 betting buckets. Had NC state and 23 versus Houston. No brainer, I thought. Slamma jamma or whatever they were called always threw bricks from the foul line.

My strategy is to hope that one-two WildCard teams make a deep run into the Conference Championships, at a minimum. By then, my hope is that a few enough amount of people have teams left (at high point values) that it doesn't matter what happens given that NE is going to win the Super Bowl.
If there were a way to have two spots, my other spot would be doing the exact opposite of this strategy.

Maybe I should have charged for second entries :)
12 players now, so there's positive EV for everyone.

Question: If I think the Broncos will win the Super Bowl and therefore give them 12 points, do I get 0 for wildcard weekend or 12?
Thank you!

0... they didn't win a game on wildcard weekend.

I'm wondering if it is wise to evenly weight two fairly matched teams that meet in the wild card round. One team will definitely advance, but one will definitely be left behind. Is it a better strategy to overweight the team you think will win, and take your chances; hoping that the overweight team will advance to the championship (ala, Mission146's stated strategy)?

I should give credit to my friend Aslo for coming up with this format (we have 8 people in our pool locally, but not all of them have paid up yet!).

I don't think so (obviously) and the reason why is because, if enough people participate in the game, someone is going to advance a couple of teams upon whom they are putting huge points. If you evenly weight a few WildCard teams, especially if you evenly weight them high, all you have accomplished is to guarantee that one of your heavily weighted teams do not advance. I would suggest that the winner will see at least three teams with eight (or more) points in their respective championship game. I'm hoping for two, myself, but equally hope that I bank some strong pointage in the WC's.

I like reading Fishing with Face and Firearms with Face over on DT. It's good stuff. But what you said about Tom Brady and NE Patriots...it hurt...I actually felt it in my chest a little as I read those words...
In all seriousness, though, why do you hate my boy Brady so much? Don't get me wrong, even though he never got the rings (well, one, but didn't start the game) I'd take my boy Drew Bledsoe back any day of the week as he is my favorite player of all time, but why the hatred for Brady?

Quote: EdCollinsI'll match the $25.00 paid to the winner. So now it's a $50.00 pool.
Many thanks, that's awesome!

That's not a typo. I'll refuse any points gained by The Pats. There's only one thing that Tom Brady can do that I'll look at as a positive, and that's retire.
I don't know, as much as I hate them after they beat the Panthers that one year I gotta say if there's no clear cut favorite in a year the Patriots will probably be there and take it.
Gambling is a metaphor for life. Hang around long enough and it's all gone.

Thanks miplet!
So....here's the average per team based upon the 25 players.....
DEN 10.20
NE 10.04
GB 8.88
SEA 7.48
SF 7.44
ATL 7.32
HOU 7.04
BAL 6.16
WAS 4.40
IND 4.00
MIN 2.84
CIN 2.40
Denver receiving the most points? Really? I think there are too many people drinking the Manning kool-aid.

DO NOT blindly accept what has been spoken.
DO NOT blindly accept what has been written.
Think. Assess. Lead. DO NOT blindly follow.

Thanks miplet for the grid, saves me the effort of setting it up, I'll add the extra entries I have from PMs. If you are playing check the grid is correct with your predictions. I will cross check, but another extra pair of eyes won't hurt.
{EDIT} We now have 26 entries... with 3 hours to kick off.
Taking an average weighting of each person's predictions we have :
In the NFC
Green Bay 8.62
Seattle 7.69
SF 7.50
Atlanta 7..38
Washington 4.19
Minnesota 2.77
In the AFC
Denver 10.15
NE 9.96
Houston 7.08
Baltimore 6.12
Indy 4.00
Cincinatti 2.54
Using this as a wisdom of the crowds strength indicator, this weekend :
Houston Beats Cincinatti
Green Bay Beats Minnesota
Baltimore beats Indianapolis
Seattle beats Washington
And
Denver wins the Superbowl over Green Bay.
I may or may not have placed these as bets this weekend :)

miplet, I think I see four errors:
Beardgoat: 2 for the Bengals, not 3.
deedubbs: 3 for the Vikings, not 5.
Knuckleball3: 12 for the Broncos and 11 for the Pats.
mwalz9: 3 for the Bengals, not 4.
Please confirm. Everything else looks okay.
I wrote an Excel program that determines the winner at the click of a button. If anyone is interested, I can upload it to my website, and you can download it at your convenience.

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

I have the above in my master Excel sheet. Won't quite do it at a click of a button.
