NFL Wild Card '17

Playoff time is here!  Jason threw a curve to start this year's playoff picks by having me go first thinking he would challenge a few of my selections, but he chose to stick to his convictions and agree with each and every pick.  I certainly wasn't expecting that, not with the big lead in playoff points with which I start.  And how did we accumulate playoff points, you may ask?  Here's the answer: Take our season percentages, multiply by 200, and that's the number of points we each start with.  From there, it's 2 points for each Wild Card win, 3 points in the Conference Semis, 4 points in the Conf. Finals, and a big 5 points for picking the Super Bowl correctly.  Jason starts with an extra point for picking the most locks this season, but I still have a large advantage:


               Dre                              Jay
Season  137-111-8                  112-126-8
                   .552                            .492
                   x200                             x200
                 =110.5                            =98.4
Lock Bonus+0             +1
110.5         99.4


And now our Wild Card picks, where we sing Kumbaya and agree on every game:
