I might know nothing of the sport, but I think this will be more fun than it :P So, I'll follow the lead of the person who knows both football and Commandos, tinyE: Gogogo 49ers!

Thanks for the amusement, stoicsentry!

I'll be rooting for my Chargers IRL, but I'm going to be betting on the Cincinnati Bengals here.

I'm almost violently competitive over pro football, but you can't actually lose if either team winning brings a good outcome, amirite?

This should be fun, thanks for setting it up!

It would be nice to have more players to start with. So I will leave registration open until tomorrow.

However, one of the Saturday games has already started and another one soon will. So if you want to sign up now, you can only pick your winner from amongst the Sunday games. Fair?

Sun, Jan 5th, 1:05 PM EST: San Diego Chargers vs. Cincinnati Bengals.
(Cincinnati is home and favored by 7 points.)

Sun, Jan 5th, 4:40 PM EST: San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers.
(Green Bay is at home. San Francisco is favored by 2.5 points.)

... I am watching it right now: pretty interesting second half.
Not an expert here, anyway I don't think you can call it "Smith vs. Luck" but you can surely name it "Smith vs. unluck".

except now thats just smith unlucky.
And me.. because im now eliminated.. O_O

Yeah it sure looked like that early on! Wow, what a turnaround. Indianapolis had the 2nd biggest playoff comeback in NFL history, recovering from a 28 point deficit in the 2nd half to beat Kansas City, 45 to 44. Unbelievable!

Everyone who voted Kansas City has been eliminated. That means zavlin and RWarehall. Sorry :(

Anyone who voted Indianapolis will survive to the next round of the competition!

24 out of 26 players left!

If you haven't entered yet, you may still do so by picking the winner of one of these games:

Sun, Jan 5th, 1:05 PM EST: San Diego Chargers vs. Cincinnati Bengals.
(Cincinnati is home and favored by 7 points.)

Sun, Jan 5th, 4:40 PM EST: San Francisco 49ers vs. Green Bay Packers.
(Green Bay is at home. San Francisco is favored by 2.5 points.)

All the other games are going to totally suck after that. :O

Now it's time for New Orleans vs. Philadelphia!!!!!

Well, that's exactly what I meant: I didn't want to say that the Colts are unlucky, but that Smith had to fight against unluck more than against Luck. :-)

I like the Cincinnati Bengals playing in the cold!! Thanks for the contest stoicsentry +mabrookes!

A bit of an upset as New Orleans defeats Philadelphia.

22 players left out of 27. Still time to sign up, but you can only pick from the Sunday games.

San Fran over Green Bay.

Who Dat!? I guess I'm out, but thanks again to stoicsentry and good luck those of you remaining.

Oh damn! Heheh. Knocked out in the first round!

OK, REGISTRATION IS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS EVERYONE FOR SIGNING UP!!!!!!!!

My condolences!
