Playoff Prediction Games: The Thrilling Results

I thought that since this was going to be the last predictions thread of the season, that I would give it a good old-fashioned not posting the results until Tuesday night. You know, for old time's sake.(personal pet peeve alert: people who say "for old time sakes" - STOP IT ALREADY!).

But this is it: the big kahuna, the final cheese, the last blast, the something or other...

But really, I like to end my prediction game seasons with sort of this feeling of, "uhn...?" So thank you. It's been fun.

Pittsburgh vs. Arizona

  1. CB30 - 0 (Perfect!)
  2. jtoj, wjackalope - 2
  3. ro128487 - 8

So not very many people scored here. Were any of these guys lucky enough to put themselves where they need to be? The total net yards for the game ended up being 699. Will it come down to that (Tiebreaks appear in parens - low score wins)?

The Final Playoff Leaderboard, if You Please:

  1. albertoleecho – 11
  2. J2daZ – 8 (87)
  3. howtheyscored – 8 (98)
  4. JerseyNinerFan – 7 (43)
  5. francaise – 7 (51)
  6. jtoj – 7 (75)

  25. Dub4lif3 – 2
  26. illini49er – 2
  27. marcello – 2
  28. onexmanxshow – 2
  29. ProfessorBigelow – 2
  30. Fooch – 1
  31. spenczar – 1

So in the end, nothing changed at the top. CB30 jumped in to play the ultimate spoiler with his perfect prediction. Hurt most by CB30's mischief-making was jtoj. Let's put it this way: If CB30 had done anything but score a perfect prediction, jtoj, with 3 points and a tiebreaker, would have been alone in second place. As it stands, he's all the way back in sixth, the third of four seven point contestants.

Ouch.

Outside of that, nobody in a position to strike did very much.

So albertoleecho took the cake, and J2daZ beat me out through his tiebreaker to nab the very noble position of second place. Both guys will be getting e-mails about prizes from Fooch, as he sorts out the prize selection process. For me, I'm extremely happy to take third place (take that, losers!), but I never did anything in this game for the sake of a prize. So JerseyNinerFan, as the next high-scoring contestant, can expect an e-mail in my place.

The rest of the prizing will be mostly confidential. If you all want to talk about what you're doing, feel free. But I won't be announcing anything.

Congratulations to all of the players. I've had a great time doing this, and I'm glad that others seem to have enjoyed it as well.

See you all next season!
