NFL Playoffs Bracket Challenge - Update #1

nfl-playoff-bracket-2021-2.jpg

This post is an update on my NFL Playoff Bracket Challenge.

Since only two people made picks it will be a 2-man race. Me and @Oldmans.

The Prize

I had planned to split the prize three ways, but in a two man race, I'm going to change the prize split to be if @Oldmans beats me he wins 100% of the #Sports and #hive from the original post and all updates. Otherwise he gets 50%. He is better off with this split one way or the other.

As for the current prize pool. The original post had a SPORTS author award of 3915 SPORTS and 0.07 HBD. The author awards in #sports and #hive from this post and any other updates will be added to the prize.

Tied After the Wildcard Games

What a wild wildcard round.

Both @oldmans and I were very chalky, but there were a lot of upsets.

We both currently have 3 points. It looks like this weekend will likely determine the winner of this #challenge. We both have the final two weekends the same.

LOL. I didn't realize we had the same picks in the first rouund. After a quick look I think if the Bucs win Game 10 you wrap it up otherwise we tie no matter what else happens. Sadly, I don't think I have a path to victory. :)

No path to victory? That's not good. Keep an eye out for my Super Bowl Squares game too. Hopefully I can get some more involvement on that.

I will definitely look for the squares game. I will help promote it a bit more this time.
