Canadian Hog fired up the BGO Crystal Ball Super Computer and all pool data has been entered into the system. Heading into Conference Championship weekend, here are the current standings for each of the contestants in this year's Crystal Ball pool:
1. Om: 60 pts. (43 AFC pts, 17 NFC pts)
2. Boone: 54 pts. (36 AFC pts, 18 NFC pts)
2. SilentThreat: 54 pts. (36 AFC pts, 18 NFC pts)
4. Canadian Hog: 51 pts. (28 AFC pts, 23 NFC pts)
5. SkinsOrlando: 50 pts. (39 AFC pts, 11 NFC pts)
6. Neophyte: 49 pts. (40 AFC pts, 9 NFC pts)
7. DixieFlatline: 41 pts. (26 AFC pts, 15 NFC pts)
Please remember, the scoring system is as follows:
a) Predicted playoff teams = 2 pts. each
b) Identifying division winners and wild card teams = 3 pts. each
c) Identifying correct seedings in each conference = 4 pts. each
d) Predicting Super Wild Card weekend playoff winners = 5 pts. each
e) Predicting Divisional Round winners = 6 pts. each.
Based on everyone's predicted Super Bowl matchups, at this point, it looks like a two horse race between Om and Boone to win this thing.
Boone has predicted the Bengals to win the Super Bowl, while Om has hitched his wagon to his BFF, Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs, to hoist the Lombardi.
The outcome of the AFC Championship will likely determine if Mark or John takes home the crown this season.
Om has been dominating BGO prognostication pools lately, having already made us all look silly in the Pick 'Em contest this season and also having won the BGO Draft Contest a season ago. Can he win three BGO pools in a row here?!?!
It's a good thing he doesn't play in the BGO fantasy football contest. Don't get any ideas, Om...
Thanks to all for playing this year and let's see how this thing plays out. Good luck to Om and Boone!
