NFL Playoff Pick 'em - ProBowl Round: TZelda nails another monster round to keep a hold of the lead with THX-1138 and littleLebowski rounding out the podium. Make your ProBowl Picks inside.
Stupid Favre and his stupidly predictable boneheaded interception!
If he simply slides to the ground instead, the Vikings make the field goal...
AFC by 6
AFC 75.0%
Mahalo, apoch
It's being played in Miami this year, not Hawaii.

You don't have to predict the percentage completion, the bonus point is only being award for the picking the correct conference. But feel free to do so.

AFC by 10 AFC (you didn't say we had to pick a percentage, right?)

The bonus question is only which team will have the best percentage and is only worth one point. So the only answer I need is which conference you pick. If you want to include the %, knock yourself up, it'll be just as irrelevant as the Pro Bowl itself.

Parenthetically...I don't really get the scoring on the bonus question for the last round. It looks like people got a point if they got the right team, and another point if they got the right number? So you could get the team totally wrong, but if you got the number right, you still got a point, and vice versa?
I'm not rules-lawyering, I don't get any points any way you slice it, I'm just a bit confused and wondering if this also applies to other questions (like, on the win questions, can I get a point for nailing the spread even if I picked the wrong team?).

If you nail the spread (or solo tackles) exactly but don't get the team right you get one point.

I'm not in last any more! YES. take that, hincadenza. AFC for a 17-point win, and AFC with an 81% completion percentage. Not that this makes me any more interested in watching this game.

As the bishop said to the actress.
I haven't been watching all year, but I usually try and catch the Superbowl.

What a horrible sentence. And that's not even the stupidest thing I've ever written here.

The score board.
Since they wanted to move the ProBowl into the playoffs, we'll add it to our pick 'em. But since it doesn't count for anything, there won't be many possible points.
Pick which conference will win and by how many for the standard available points.
The bonus question: which team will have the best combined pass completion percentage?
For a max total of 4 available points. Good luck.
