NSBB NFL Playoff Pick'em (Entries Only)

[NCCubFan]

Yahoo doesn't have a pick'em contest for the NFL playoffs, so I thought it would be fun to do one here (no prizes, just bragging rights at stake). In a follow-up post I'll post the playoff bracket, using question marks for teams not yer known. You should paste the bracket into your post, replace the question marks with the teams you think will fill those spots, and bold your picks. Keep in mind that following the first round the lower seeded Wild Card round winner plays at the #1 seed and the higher seeded Wild Card round winner plays at the #2 seed. The deadline for entering is Saturday, Jan. 7 at 4:00 P.M. Eastern time (one half hour before the first game), at which time I'll lock this thread to prevent late entries or changes. I'll update standings after each round.

 

To make it easier to follow, please use this thread for entries only. Playoff discussions normally take place in Social.
