Since we don't know the match-ups in the Divisional games (other than #1 won't play #3), you can either pick 4 specific teams or choose the winner in each game (see my picks below). Both require educated guesses on the match-ups, however picking specific team from WC round and a #1/#2 seed may result in them playing each other.

Wild Card (2 points for visitor / 1 for home):
- AFC #5 Raiders @ #4 Texans
- NFC #6 Lions @ #3 Seahawks
- AFC #6 Dolphins @ #3 Steelers
- NFC #5 Giants @ #4 Packers

Divisional (3 points for visitor / 2 for home):
- NFC Higher WC @ #2 Falcons
- AFC Lower WC @ #1 Patriots
- AFC Higher WC @ #2 Chiefs
- NFC Lower WC @ #1 Cowboys

Conference (points based on betting odds):

- AFC (pick one):
- - Steelers 9

- NFC (pick one):
- - Falcons 7

Super Bowl (points based on betting odds):
- Packers 9

Tie breaker - total points scored in Super Bowl: 50

Did you mean to pick the Packers in the Super Bowl? I was going to update my picks slightly (similar to yours) based on your clarification, but now I'm not sure if I'm reading it right.

Pats get revenge (in their minds) against the NFL and win 35-21.

To be honest, I only picked the boys because I had to. I am for them but I'm not convinced that they are the best. At least not yet. Another season like this and I will be if they win some playoff games. I've seen too many teams have one good season and then fall by the waste side. I believe Elliott is the real deal but the jury is still out on Dak.

Yeah, I picked the Packers for grins. I know my picks lack consistency - just playin' around with the odds.

My clarification was just for the Divisional round. Specific teams have to be picked in the other rounds. What did you want to change? I'll probably let you do it.

Divisional:

Pats

Pitt

Cowboys

Falcons

I was just going to change "Pitt" to the more generic "higher WC". Does that work?

Yes. I'll also do the same for everyone else that picked a specific WC winner over a top #1/#2 seed.

Seahawks are NFC #3. Regardless, I'm taking all 3 of your specific WC picks as non-specific picks against the top seed as I just posted above.
