Well that was a classic between two future Hall of Fame Quarterbacks. I’m sure there will be more in the future.

Best weekend in NFL history!

Certainly one of them. Great games - all four, even if the last one ended poorly because of incredibly flawed rules.

This is the best weekend in sports, hands down. The Conference Championship Games, and the Super Bowl tend to be anti-climactic.

This game tonight was, for all intents and purposes, The Super Bowl.

Wait I thought they said each team gets a possession.

Depends. On the opening kickoff of OT, if the receiving team goes down and gets a touchdown or gives up a safety then the game is over. If they go down and get a field goal the the other team gets a possession.

That’s my pick for the Super Bowl: KC beats LA.

Not my first pick for the best matchup - the best matchup may have just happened - KC v the Bills.

Well, they HAD given up by then, LOL!

Now that Rodgers and Brady are out, I guess I am now a Mahomes Fan until the Chiefs are tossed. ;)

Not that it matters but I picked 2 right, Bengals and Rams.

Actually, I'd prefer they just play another full period. Perhaps a shorter one, ten minutes instead of fifteen. And no sudden death, just let the clock run like regulation.

As much as I was hoping the Bills would win, I couldn't help but think it was the same thing that happened to KC back in the 2018 playoffs. Kansas City and New England were tied after a crazy 4th quarter. NE won the toss in OT, and I knew the Chiefs would never get the ball.

I happen to have been in attendance at the famous six quarter game in Kansas City in ‘71 on Christmas Day. Also a divisional playoff and it lasted six quarters. Just playing quarter is not the answer, but I agree, the sudden death aspect places too much on the coin toss and not enough on the teams performance capabilities at the point of exhaustion.

I think we had a great weekend especially since outside of basketball, my lack-luster Jayhawks narrowly escaped defeat at the well playing K-State Wildcats showing the wonderful parity of the Big 12 BB programs once again.

I don’t know how the Bengals won or how the Packers lost. Just luck I guess. I took the Rams over the Bucs and my Chiefs won a thriller!

I found your picks on post #36, you’re right I screwed it up. It’s fixed in the spreadsheet and you’re now with the group tied for 17th.
