2017 NFL Playoff Bracket Pick'em
Because, why not? It gives me another opportunity to make a spreadsheet!
Here's the scoring breakdown: Wild Card - 5 points per correct pick Divisional - 10 points per correct pick Conference - 20 points per correct pick Super Bowl - 30 points per correct pick Each week, you get to pick from each match up. Doesn't matter if you missed picking the team the week before. *Note: If any one has a better way to do this, let me know. The way things get re-seeded after the Wild Card games is goofy and makes it difficult to do a whole bracket in one shot. AFC Wild Card Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers NFC Wild Card Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers

Not sure why I'm picking the Raiders - Donald Penn is out, Osemele is questionable, 3rd string QB starting - guess that's what Raider fans do when their team hasn't made the play-offs in a gazillion years

Yeah but the Texans have one of the worst offenses in the NFL and managed only 9 wins playing in a weak division. If Oakland played the Jaguars, titans, and colts twice a year their defense would look like the 85 bears. Im not concerned with cook as much as Musgrave's playcalling.
