2021 NFL Playoff Survivor/Point Pool

Pick each game against the spread.
You can add (or subtract) integer points to the posted spread.
If you lose one pick you are out.
The winner is the person who lasts the longest, and if there are multiple people who last to the same level, the winner is the one who has the lowest total point total.
(Note, if the last people go out on the same playoff round (ie championship weekend) they are considered to go out at the same time, even if they go out in different games.)

Please post your picks before kickoff on Saturday.

Here are the lines (adjusted to half points) for Wild Card Weekend:
Buffalo -6.5 vs Indianapolis
Seattle -3.5 vs LA Rams
Tampa Bay -8.5 vs Washington
Baltimore -3.5 vs Tennessee
New Orleans -9.5 vs Chicago
Pittsburgh -6.5 vs Cleveland

Buffalo -2.5 (4 points)
Seattle +8.5 (12 points)
Tampa Bay -2.5 (6 points)
Baltimore +3.5 (7 points)
New Orleans -2.5 (7 points)
Cleveland +14.5 (8 points)

44 total points.

Did I do that right?

Looks good to me.

Indianapolis +21.5 (15 points)
LA Rams +17.5 (14 points)
Tampa Bay +7.5 (16 points)
Tennessee +14.5 (11 points)
Chicago +14.5 (5 points)
Cleveland +14.5 (8 points)

Assuming I did that right, 69 points. Nice.

will play tomorrow, for some reason this one always confuses the crap out of me

Buffalo -2.5 vs Indianapolis (4)
Seattle -2.5 vs LA Rams (1)
Tampa Bay -2.5 vs Washington (6)
Baltimore vs Tennessee +17.5 (14)

I remember one season picking the Eagles +8.5 vs Seattle and they lost by 8, and then like 3 people were eliminated when they had Eagles +7.5. I always go with the 8.5 now instead of 7.5, 8 is still a one score game!

I realized immediately after submitting that post that I picked two teams at +7.5. Don’t listen to me folks :man_facepalming:

Titans by 8. Sweet

A little more aggressive than usual this year (well, at least for me…)

Buffalo +2.5 (9)
Seattle +1.5 (5)
Tampa Bay +3.5 (12)
Tennessee +7.5 (4)
New Orleans +1.5 (11)
Pittsburgh +1.5 (8)

Total: 49

Thanks for keeping the NFL Playoff Tradition alive! :+1:

Tampa Bay +3.5 (12)
Baltimore +14.5 (18)
New Orleans +3.5 (13)

Knowing I’m being absurdly conservative yet am almost certainly going out on one of these anyway: Priceless

12 players…good luck!
