Thank you @Strider for resurrecting this thread and doing all the work that come along with it. 
I can do a playoff picks pool, if anyone is interested in continuing to pick or would like to join in picking the playoffs.

at least for cowboy fans they  tipped their hand early as to what to expect in playoffs so defeat won't be so hard to take🤣

[redrum]

Fucking Seahawks are like a boil on the ass of the 49ers. 

[Strider]

Well, there was a chance.

Walter left the door open by going 9-7 this week. That meant if either jabe or custard pie man could go 16-0, there would be a tie for first place.

Alas, both jabe and custard pie man could only muster up 11-5. Dallas and New Orleans wrecked most of our cards. Interestingly, this was one of our best weeks collectively as everyone finished above .500 for the week...even greengrass.

ebk and I finished 12-4 to win the week and Walter won the Season Championship by five games. Congrats Walter!  I will mail your prize to you this week.

Walter and jabe finished the season tied with the most weekly wins: 7.

Thanks for playing, everyone. Walter will handle the playoffs. See you next season.

Thanks Rick. Good luck in the playoffs.

This was the ninth year we have done a NFL pick 'em pool contest (it's had many topic titles over the years..."NFL Predictions Game", "NFL Pick 'Em Pool", "PottedPlant Memorial Pool") here at the Led Zeppelin Forum. The first one was in 2012 and started by DAS, with a little help from paul carruthers and I as the season went along. DAS also started one in 2013 but then disappeared and I took over starting in 2014. For the playoffs, paul carruthers did the first one for the 2012 season (actually, Anjin-san started the playoff thread but for some reason paul ended up doing all the work) and it has been some rotation of paul, Walter, or me ever since. The NFL pool went on hiatus during the Covid years of 2020 and 2021.

Going through the past results makes you wonder whatever happened to DAS, Beckenbauer6, Arcane29, Black Dawg, Anjin-san, Rock Historian, ally, etc.? I hope they are still alive, unlike the late pottedplant, who sadly departed between the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Here are the records of all the previous NFL pools.
