Playoff Preview

With the season passing its halfway mark, the playoffs are right around the corner. All players must submit their playoff picks with their week 10 picks. There are a only few teams that have clear playoff sights, so this step might prove to be difficult.  However, it's a great way to add a few extra points to your total. 

A couple of tips:
  1. Make sure you look at not only what teams have done so far, but also who they will play in the remaining weeks and how you think they will do, before you complete your assessment.
  2. Think about which team will most likely take first place in their division, but also who will get those wildcards (meaning that though they didn't win their division, they had a better record than the rest of the conference.)
  3. Pay attention to this week's games, they may have a determining factor on who you place in the playoffs!
  4. When assessing wildcards, it's about the numbers! Who will have records that will be good enough to place them in the playoffs! ****Special note, sometimes wildcard teams have better records than a winner of another division****
Below is an example of possible playoff picks.  You will need to highlight or list Six teams for each conference:

What I would like you to notice in the sample Playoff Picks below:

  1. As in the AFC West, you don't have to pick who is in first place now, if you think another team will end the season in first place in their division, pick a team in second, first or even third.  Fourth might be stretching it.
  2. The AFC & NFC East and North have two highlighted teams, this means that you believe the wildcards will come from those divisions.
  3. You don't have to differentiate who is the division winner versus who is the wildcard.  If your six teams makes the playoffs, you get 6 points! Pretty simple!
So with all that said, Good luck!
