So we have two playoff threads? I guess I'll run the confidence pool, then.
As for this: I'm too late to pick for this weekend I guess, but even though the Seattle game has started I'm not watching it yet and have not looked at the score, as I'm waiting in line for brunch. Hope you'll let me slip in:
Jets by 9 Ravens by 10 Seattle by 7 Packers by 10
Saints with 11yds/penalty, when they're frustrated in not beating up the Hawks.
Since I'm picking late but honestly have no info about the game, my SEA/NO picks will be hilarious if it's a blowout either way already.

Crazy. All of the road teams won this weekend.

I inexplicably got all 4 winners correct. Something must be wrong here..
FYI, parallel to this thread, I've posted the confidence pool results over in the confidence pool thread.

So I was explaining to my wife last night how lucky she is that I don't like to bet on sports. Spofi is a hell of a lot cheaper way for me to proudly display my ignorance than the Atlantis sports book around the corner.

I'm sorry guys. I really dropped the ball on this. I don't have the time I usually do to run the pick 'em.

Picks due by 7:59 EST Saturday January 8th.
Pick the winner and by how much.
Standard CFL Pick'em scoring. If you pick the spread exactly right, you get a point regardless of whether you got the team right. If you pick the winner correctly, you get a point. If you pick the winner and get the spread within the margin of error (as DJE calculates it in the CFL pick 'em) you get an extra point. Max possible score per pick is 3 points, picking the winner and the margin of victory exactly.
Games NY Jets at Indiannapolis Colts Baltimore Ravens at KC Chiefs
Bonus Pick: Which team will have the highest average yardage per penalty (accepted penalties/# of penalties) and what will the average be? (same scoring as above) In case of ties, points will be rewarded for either correct answer.
