NFL Playoff Confidence Pool: Standings. With only three games left, I'm pretty sure I'm stuck near the bottom.
I've lost both my Super Bowl picks. Tom Brady forced yet another one deep into my heart. I vow to ride the colts all the way to a middle of the pack finish now.

Well there are only 4 possible winners left. The Colts win the super bowl or the Bears defeat the Colts in the Super Bowl: I win(yay!) The Saints and Patriots meet in the super bowl or the Saints defeat the Colts: yzelda wins. The Patriots defeat the Bears in the super bowl: tselson wins. The Bears defeat the Patriots in the super bowl: tselson and lbb tie for the win. I don't think I missed any scenarios...

You missed the all important scenarios, who's going to get the Costanza?

If I'm reading this right, SDM cannot fall behind me. So it's between me and the Tenacious GD. She locks it up if the Pats win. If Indy and Chicago both win, I lock it up. If Indy and the Saints win, it's a loser-take-all finish to the end. If Marty Schottenheimer snaps and goes totally postal, well at that point all bets are off, I'd say.

The playoffs don't have enough games and one game elimination tournaments lend themselves poorly to confidence pools. Fun anyway, even though I'm mired in mediocrity once again.

Yeah, tron7, looks like you're untouchable in first. The silver and bronze are still up in the air though. Guess this means that I have to cheer for the Bears.

BullpenPro has less to cheer about. He lcoked up the Costanza.

Catapulted into fourth place by virtue of my faith in the New England Patriots! Virtue is rewarded, and I will rule you all!
