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


Just win Baby

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.

Raiders keep playing like that and the Texans aren't going to need an offense.
