Conference Championship Prediction Games

PrintWhether you earned a playoff spot or not (or even if you've never played), everybody is allowed to make predictions in the postseason. There is a playoff among the top 16 and there is a separate general contest for everybody. You can read bignerd's explanation HERE.
I've posted the formatting rules required for posting your results after the jump. Please read over that (it's fairly short) so we can have consistency in the posting. All times are pacific and you are not required to predict every game, but obviously it helps your chances of winning to predict all the games. If you forget to pick the Sunday morning games, you can always predict whatever games remain on the slate.
Once again, please review the formatting rules after the jump before posting your results.
49ers vs. NY Giants - Sunday 1/22 3:30pm
Baltimore @ New England - Sunday 1/22 12:00pm
IMPORTANT RULE
We implemented this rule last season and it seemed to make things easier for us. Previously, folks had just posted their scores in any particular fashion, although howtheyscored had made requests for a specific format. Given the amount of time and effort howtheyscored has to put into determining the final results, I am implementing a requirement for how to format your scores (based on the spreadsheet howtheyscored has created). If you fail to follow this format, any incorrectly formatted scores for the week will be disqualified. The format is "Team A @ Team B: A score - B score." That basically is visitor @ home: visitor score - home score." Here's an example of how to do it:
Using Baltimore @ New England below, if you think New England will win 24-14, here's how it needs to appear:
Baltimore @ New England: 14 - 24
If you think Baltimore will win 24-14, it needs to appear as this:
Baltimore @ New England: 24 - 14
If you'd like you can bold the winner (Baltimore @ New England: 14 - 24), but that is not required (although probably a good backup in case you reversed the score by accident.
If you make a mistake in the formatting I'll reply to your score reminding you to correct it. To correct it, simply reply to your picks and post them in the correct format. Do not post your scores again at the bottom of the thread. I'll make sure and include these directions each week so people do not forgot and lose out on points.
If anybody has any questions at all about this, or anything related to the contest, let me know (ninersnation@gmail.com) and I'll answer them.

Last week I did end up getting 4 points off one game…but I really haven’t done so well overall. Well, let’s hope that trend continues, then…

Shenanigans! I am not eliminated!
Look at my scores from last week, I had top guess in 49ers game.
I guessed niners over Saints 29 - 27 for the closest guess in that game.
I have never once chosen the Niners to lose, nor will I ever.

Glad someone noticed
I have been fighting the desire to post on another thread the Mods actually read, but don’t want to be annoying about it. Not like I win anything, just excited that I made it this far :p
I believe you can contact Fooch at this email
ninersnation@gmail.com and have him look into it.

I will take a look
The recap thread got taken out in a little over 24 hours with everyone’s continual its like ’81 Fan Posts.
I do recall entering your picks thinking you had won the week but when the scores were spit out you were near the bottom.
Keep playing as if you are in the playoffs. If your score is correct consider yourself grandfathered in this week.
Ya well that screw up was costly
Here are the new results
1. howtheyscored 14
2. bayboy 13
3. Rossalex 12
4. Ten-Man 11
5. Stupifyed 9
5. AKinferno 9
7. Str8Balr 8
8. bakoninerfan 7
8. mikeinsp 7
8. benna11 7
-———————————————————-
11. Beamer1960 6
12. David Fucillo 5
Your score moved you and benna11 onto the next round. If benna11 gets his picks in it will count towards the playoffs also. I knew I had made a mistake or two and even wrote it in my recap.
Yea, I responded there too
But noone read it after the first day, and I posted the next day. Thanks for checking it out! As always Bignerd, you rock.
Harbowl II time...

Explanations for pick
The Giants are a talented team and hot at the right time, but having to travel cross country takes a toll and the Niners are more talented. The 49ers grind out a defensive field goal saturated battle secured by recovering an onside kick after a late Eli touchdown pass. I just think that the 49ers are the better team playing at home against a team from the opposite coast. I think that carries the day.
I just have a feeling that the Ravens are due to make the Super Bowl – since Lee Evans reentered the line up following his injury, I’ve been wondering when the Ravens will finally run a play where they send both Torrey Smith and Lee Evans deep in the same pattern. The answer will be this Sunday against New England’s vulernable secondary. Tom Brady gets 3 TD passes, Flacco gets 2, Ray Rice gets one TD rushing, and defense and 2 field goals make the difference in the end sending the Ravens on.
Eh. Hardest week yet.
