Following up on BigNatty’s suggestion, lets do an NFL bracket.
Simple rules: Only pick the winners (don’t worry about the matchups).
Wildcard weekend winners (3NFC/3AFC): 1 point each (possible 6 points)
Divisional round winners (2NFC/2AFC): 2 points each (possible 8 points)
Conference champs (1 NFC/1AFC): 3 points each (possible 6 points)
Super Bowl Champ (1): 4 points - highest possible score 24 points.
Most know that there is one bye in each conference in week 1. (So don’t pick Green Bay or Tennessee in the wild card round). Most also know that the matchups in the second and third rounds require the highest seed to face the lowest surviving seed.
