Viper Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 NFC Wildcard Round:Washington over Seattle: The Seahawks are very tough to beat when they're on their game, but they've been very inconsistent this season, while the Skins have been red hot (NPI) of late. Simply put, I'm going with the hot hand here.New York over Tampa Bay: The Giants stumbled a bit down the stretch, but seem to have recovered in the last two games. The Bucs, meanwhile, have gone cold since clinching the division. Their defense is top-notch, but will have their hands full against Eli Manning and company.AFC Wildcard:Jacksonville over Pittsburgh: The Steelers have already lost at home to the Jags, and are now without Willie Parker. This will be Najeh Davenport's last best chance to show he belongs in an NFL starting lineup, but I don't think he's up to it anymore.San Diego over Tennessee: Not quite Secretariat vs. Zippy Chippy, but you get the picture.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NFC Divsional Round:Green Bay over New York: Eli will find the end zone, but not often enough to keep up with Brett Favre and the boys in green and gold. Ryan Grant can break loose for a touchdown at any time, from anywhere on the field, and I expect him to do that again here. Maybe more than once.Dallas over Washington: Against any of the other wild-card teams I would have predicted a Cowboys blowout, but being the first playoff meeting between these arch-rivals in many years, I expect a barn-burner. The Skins might even pull off the upset if [1] TO doesn't show up and/or [2] Jessica Simpson does. More likely though, Tony Romo and the two-headed monster of Jones and Barber will more than take up the slack if Owens doesn't play.AFC Divisonal Round:Indianapolis over San Diego: The Chargers needed six interceptions thrown by Peyton Manning and a blown chip-shot Adam Vinatieri field goal to beat the Colts at home earlier this season. They won't have home-field advantage this time, and somehow I doubt they'll have such good fortune either.Jacksonville over New England: Here is my "Upset Special". I have an awful hunch that the Pats' perfect season is going to go down in flames. It might not happen this week, but Jacksonville seems to me the most likely candidate to make it happen, even more so than the Colts. They've not played the Patriots this year, so they're still somewhat unknown to Bill Belichick and company. Also they don't seem to mind cold weather, and having won twice in Pittsburgh by now, they won't be intimidated by anyone. This may well be the '72 Dolphins' last best chance to finally break out the bubbly.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NFC Championship Game:Green Bay over Dallas: Here's the big question of the game: Did Favre learn from the experience of the previous game in Big D? He tried too hard to make big plays on his own, and the Packers' offense suffered mightily from it. But when he got hurt, Aaron Rodgers was much more patient and methodical, and very nearly led Green Bay to a comeback upset. I'm betting that Favre doesn't make the same mistake twice and plays more like Rodgers did, and that the now-healthy Green Bay defense will hold Romo to no more than two TD passes. 24-20 or thereabouts.AFC Championship Game:Indianapolis over Jacksonville: As mentioned above, the Jaguars seem to do pretty well on the road in cold weather. Unfortunately for them, the Colts still play in a dome. The Jags' unlikely run goes straight into an Indy buzzsaw.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Super Bowl XLII:Green Bay 30, Indianapolis 24 (54 total): Full disclosure - these happen to be my favorite teams in their respective conferences. Needless to say, I expect nothing less than a game for the ages. Storybook outcome: Packers win, Favre is voted MVP and then, like John Elway before him, calls it a career, leaving the offense in Rodgers' capable hands.

Win% is the chance that your entry will be the highest scoring entry. Top10% is the chance that your entry will be high enough to score in the top 10.

WJMorris3 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 (for what it's worth, I reupdated the standings, so you can refresh.)Right now, there are 256 possible results of the eight remaining games. So I ran the computer through all 256 possibilities to get those percentages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Okay, I have the highest likelihood of finishing among the Top 10 (53.91%), but the sixth highest likelihood of winning outright (6.25%). Is it just me, or does that not seem to make sense to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
