Super Bowl Prediction - Results Thread

Commish here

Decided to put up a new thread for this as we approach the end of the regular season.  Here's a breakdown of teams selected to win or lose, by number of player predictions:

New England:  10 to win, 5 to lose

Minnesota:  6 to win, 2 to lose

Pittsburgh:  5 to win, 6 to lose

Green Bay:  3 to win, 4 to lose

Denver:  3 to win, 3 to lose

Carolina:  2 to win, 0 to lose

Arizona:  1 to win, 2 to lose

Baltimore:  1 to win, 0 to lose

Cincinnati:  1 to win, 0 to lose

Philadelphia:  1 to win, 4 to lose

Seattle:  1 to win, 5 to lose

Dallas:  0 to win, 2 to lose

NY Giants:  0 to win, 1 to lose

Just to go over it again, players advance to scoring tiebreakers through the following scenarios:

1.  Correctly pick the winning and losing team.

2.  If nobody correctly picks both the winner and loser, correctly pick the winning team only.

3.  If nobody correctly picks the winning team, correctly pick the losing team only.

4.  If nobody correctly picks either the winning or losing team, correctly pick a team to appear in the game.  For example, if you pick a team to win, and they lose, and nobody else has them losing, you advance.  Conversely, if you pick a team to lose, and they win, and nobody else has them winning, you advance.  This will only apply to players who picked BAL, CAR, DAL and NYG as all other teams selected were picked as both winners and losers.

5.  If nobody correctly picks either team to appear in the Super Bowl, players who correctly pick the winning conference (NFC or AFC) will advance to scoring tiebreakers.

SCORING TIEBREAKERS as follows:

1.  Predicted score closest to the final margin of victory without going over.  If still tied then -

2.  Predicted score closest to the final game point total without going over.  If still tied then -

3.  Tied player with the best winning percentage for the entire season. 

That's it.  I'll post updates as needed as we get closer to the end of the season.  GL to all on winning the $500 prize.

Here's where we stand heading into the playoffs:

13 players have two live teams.

16 players have one live team.

5 players have no live teams and are essentially out of it unless we have a MIA / OAK / KC / HOU vs. ATL / DET matchup.

Which is unlikely but one can hope...

Following Wild Card Weekend's action...very little has changed.

12 players have two live teams.

17 players have one live team.

5 players have no live teams.

Following Divisional Weekend:

6 players still have two live teams.

21 players have one live team.

7 players have no live teams and are eliminated.
