NFL Playoff Confidence BIF

All right - this is rather last-minute, as playoffs start tomorrow. Pick against the spread each week and assign a confidence number for the games. Ante will be one quality bomber (or 2 12-oz bottles). Extras not necessary but encouraged. Hopefully we'll get enough participants to pay out at least the first couple places, but again it's last minute.

If you're in, PM me your contact info and opening round picks + confidence ratings.

Details:
Picks will be against the spread.
You will rank the games each week by confidence (1 being least confident, 4 being most confident). Each week, the games will have a multiplier and be more valuable than the week before:

wildcard - 1x (10 points available)
divisional - 2x (20 points available)
champ - 5x (15 points available)
SB - 10 point game (No confidence rating needed, obviously)

Again, just message me with your contact info and with your picks. Some sort of trading history or BIF history would be nice. ALL PICKS NEED TO BE IN BEFORE KICKOFF OF FIRST GAME AND NO CHANGES ARE ALLOWED. I'll be forwarding my picks to somebody else in the pool so there's no appearance of impropriety, and I'll try to figure out how to post a spreadsheet of the participants, picks and standings.

Tiebreaker: When you submit your first round picks, pick who you think will be the SB winner. That's the first tiebreaker. After that it goes by who had the most points in the most recent round and then the round before and so on.

IND + 1.5 @ HOU
SEA + 2 @ DAL
LAC + 3 @ BAL
PHI + 6.5 @ CHI

Good luck! And 4:35pm EST tomorrow afternoon is the deadline!

Bummer, but I get it.

We're at six participants so far. There's still a few more hours to sign up!

 

So that's seven. We've still got just over an hour - who else wants to try to win some beer?

 

Well shit. I think that would be true for a lot of the guys - I should have gotten this up awhile ago. Next year will be more efficient.

And holy shit - Hurns' ankle injury was brutal to watch...

 

Also - MINOR RULE CHANGE:

I know I said no changes were allowed. But I don't think that would be fair if there were last-minute injury announcements or whatever. I think since the private messages on here are time-stamped and unable to be deleted (as near as I can tell), and cannot be edited after fifteen minutes, I'll take pick changes up to 15 minutes before each game's kickoff time. Confidence number assignments can be changed as well, but you've gotta make sure you don't screw that up (i.e., don't assign a number that's already locked in). If you do that, I'll ignore that change in confidence, but still accept the change in team.

I'll post the spreads (so those will be locked in) approximately 48 hours before kickoff of the first game of the weekend.

Does that sound equitable to everybody?
