Just to let you cwa and anyone else who may be interested in playing it's not a big deal for me to add new players, the scoring might be a little weird but everybody is welcome. Got you on the board cwa78!

For those couple of folks only making a super bowl pick I don't have a way to do that at the moment. We're currently occupied by conference finals.

Good luck everybody!

The conference championship games! Alright!

Kansas City Chiefs / Cincinnati Bengals. After two stunning games last week we get this. Can the Chiefs come up with another performance to match last week's? Is such a performance required against the Bengals? Would love to see the Bengals win but I don't see how they can keep up with the Chiefs. And while the Chiefs won't sack Burrow nine times - they don't have the defense the Titans do - I believe they will harass him enough. It's been a great season for Cincy with two playoff wins this year which is two more than in the last twenty years but it comes to an end Sunday. CHIEFS

San Fransico 49ers / LA Rams. Okay okay ... the Niners have had the Rams number for six consecutive games and just beat them three weeks ago, coming back from a 17-point deficit. But..... Last week the Niners beat the Packers... without even scoring an offensive touchdown. That will not work against the Rams Sunday. They are going to need to score a lot of points and that ain't gonna happen. So... RAMS.

Good Luck Everyone and Have a Great Weekend!

Do you remember when Rush used to mercilessly mock the Houston Oilers, plying their fight song at wavering speeds, etc. Earl Campbell was great. I heard a lot about Billy “White Shoes” Johnson and Kenny “Double Zeroes” Burroughs. Dan Pastorini was TOUGH. Fun team at times, never caught a break.

Billy turned 79 this week....

Those Oilers just couldn't get past the Steelers. No other team did either.

I will never forget Warren Moon throwing for 500+ yards against my Chiefs. The old Oilers were amazing.

Go underdogs. Niners more likely to upset the Rams than Bengals over the Chiefs. Mahomes and Chiefs’ losing would be a huge surprise. They would have to come in overconfident and not ready for that to happen IMO.

Get everyone in, but I think the scoring comes out better if you put the Full Playoff Picks in its own roll-up from the Partial Playoff picks. You don’t want a guy that wins 2 for 2 to be in first place (”100%”) over a guy that wins say 10 for 12.

Back in the late 70’s the AFC championship came down to the Oilers and the Steelers. Games were usually in Pittsburg in late December. One year, the Oilers lost by a very close score. They flew home to Houston and arrived at the airport late. They were greeted by thousands of fans on the tarmac cheering their team as they got off the plane.

Miss those days.
