Scores after the Saturday games. MU#1F failed to show, so increased the chances of everyone else in the last eight... Pats and Rams wins definitely needed to save any of us in the bottom half.

forestfan, can we please have an update!

I would like to know if I made it through the next round

[forestfan]

So, it's all change as the Rams take it in overtime and sink the Bears pickers. My spot-on score was enough to lead the standings again, having been last (aside from the no-show) after game 3!

A few direct hits in the Plate as well, but it wasn't enough to take all of them through. murf's second bullseye of the round sees him top the table.

Just shows how lucky people were last weekend

not true for me though!

I do know everything about American Football and NFL


Thank you forestfan!

[murf]

All about the Plate this year I see.

PS Handball!

Ooft! that's a bit of a turnaround! Never mind, thanks for organising forestfan, see you for the toilet bowl!

Well, a chick

But Downunder it would be a chuck, which is rather relevant

[Dr. Giggles]

Well, a chick

Bill.

[Dr. Giggles]

But Downunder it would be a chuck

Chook.

[forestfan]

But Downunder it would be a chuck

Chook.

Yeah, “Chuck” in Australia typically refers to Sri Lankan spin bowlers.

[forestfan]

All in - no need for chasing! Good luck everyone.

[forestfan]

So, the Patriots fight their way through the Denver snow while the Seahawks swoop to slam the Rams.

My direct hit on the first match is enough to edge out Malrom who got both results correct and was just one point out on the second one! sibrown4 leads the standings though, and stands in my way of becoming the first repeat winner.

The Plate provided a nail-biter as murf edges out morganb on countback, having been closer on the first game, to face Johnners in the final (who, had he transposed the victory margins in the two games, would have had a perfect score!)

So we have our four finalists, but remember everyone else, the Toilet Bowl is open to all entrants not in one of the above finals!

Who will have a San Francisco (well, Santa Clara technically) gold rush? Will the Seahawks have them sleepless in Seattle, or will February be the month of Maye as the Pats prove there's life after Bill and Tom?

[blahblah]

I'll take them.....

[forestfan]

I'll take them.....

OK, thanks. sibrown4 and I will send our picks to you.

[murf]

My gamble on resting my star quarter back and centre forward for the Cup Final paid off then. Just. Very close to backfiring.

[Dr. Giggles]

Seattle by 9.

[Malrom]

Had both games correct and out vs forestfan who only has one game correct!

Still I'm happy since I know nothing about NFL anyway
