This is totally plagiarized off of Mel's thread from last year but here are the rules
The playoffs will work a little differently. Because we've decided that so many people would screw up on the bracket and its seeding, we decided we would just pick against the spread. Believe me, I think the spread is ridiculous, but it's still a pretty fun way to play Pick 4.
We aren't necessarily picking the winner, so be careful.
Example:
Seattle -7
MINNESOTA +7
This means that Seattle is favored by a touchdown. The capitalization is who is at home. Picking Seattle, you would want them to win by MORE than 7 points. A pick for the Vikings means that they win or lose by less than 7. Again, not just picking the winners and losers here. If Seattle wins be exactly a touchdown, that would be a push. That is worth one point. Everyone wins a point then. Woohoo!
We will also add in the over/under.
So, if it says:
Seattle -7
MINNESOTA +7
Over/under 48
You will pick against the spread and pick if the combined score will be over or under 48 total points. Over/under will be worth one point. So three points if you get everything right. Two points if you get a push and the over/under right or the pick right but the over/under wrong. One point if you just get the over/under right or just a push. Lots of points to be had! We'll also make the Super Bowl game fair so that these points leading up to the final game will actually count. Meaning, those questions will be worth just one or two each, as well. It should keep everyone in it!
Example post:
MINNESOTA +7
Under 48
WASHINGTON -4
Over 52
Pittsburgh -3
Over 46
Kansas City -7
Over 44
I pulled ALL of these numbers out of my butt, but I'm just giving everyone an idea. The actual information will be posted later. So, don't pay attention to any of this besides the explanations.
PG, feel free to just edit this post or copy and paste what you need into a new one. If someone doesn't understand the rules, please ask questions below! I'm half asleep right now, so maybe none of this even makes sense. lol.
Anyway,
Remember the playoff edition is for the replica Lombardi trophy! Good luck!
