3rd Annual BGO Crystal Ball NFL Prediction Pool

True - but don't know if anyone had the Giants being in contention this season... *correction* - looks like Little Piggy did have the Giants in the playoffs so that's another one.
 
I will be giving an updated standings board soon for "if the regular season ended today" just so everybody can get a sense of where they are at. It will likely happen after the Thanksgiving weekend, during our mini bye. I can tell you right now that I am fearful of looking at my own predictions. They are a mess. When you got the Bengals winning it all and the Commanders advancing to the Divisional round, things aren't sitting pretty ..😆

Hey Folks,

The BGO Super Computer has been fired up and has calculated the current standings in the Crystal Ball pool now that we have reached the end of the regular season. For some of us, the championship is well within reach. For a few others like myself, some of our predicted Super Bowl teams didn’t even reach the playoffs - this is the beauty of the NFL! The playoff results can change the standings board quickly, so it is still anybody’s game!

Here is the scoring system and point breakdown for each competitor below. Let me know if you see any errors in your point total.

a. Earn 2 points for every team you correctly identify to make the playoffs from each conference.
b. Earn 3 points for every division winner and wild card team you correctly identify from each conference.
c. Earn 4 points for every team that you slot into the correct seed from each conference.


OVERALL STANDINGS AT END OF REGULAR SEASON (points):

DixieFlatline = 52
Kel Varnsen = 37
SilentThreat = 31
Om = 30
Boone = 30
Little Piggy = 29
SkinsOrlando = 25
Canadian Hog = 21

Thanks again to everyone for playing this year - please play again next year! To those who missed out this year, consider hopping aboard next season - I promise you can't do worse than I did this season!

I will be in touch with our leaders soon regarding prizes!

Wow - impressive in a very unpredictable year guys! Congrats Dixie, Kel, and SO :cheers:
 
Well done DixieFlatline! Looking at some of the picks I made, and it's just awful. I was happy to get even a few of these correct. You running away with this is extremely impressive.
 
Wow...Thanks....I had no clue where I was or how that happened. Where was that luck in my weekly picks? :)
 
The predictability of the unpredictable, always a fun contest, way to go Dixie, or 2023 NFL's Nostradamus
