It's that time of year again, when everyone begins speculating on the last few playoff spots and how seeding will end up. One of my favorite tools on the web around this time is the ESPN NFL Playoff Machine (click here). After picking all the games for the next four weeks and coming up with my playoff predictions, I thought it might be fun to post my results and suggest a contest on here to see who can come up with exact result. If enough people are interested (say 10), I will send the winner a couple bottles of hot sauce from my favorite hot sauce company, Arizona Gunslinger, but maybe another sponsor will step forward with better prizes if we get more interest. Trust me, this hot sauce is delicious, but if you don't like heat, they have steak sauces, salsas and other things.

Here are my initial thoughts on the rules (suggestions welcome):
-Go to the 2013 NFL Playoff Prediction Machine and make picks for weeks 14-17
_(You must pick every game, so don't leave any out!)
-Post a screenshot of your playoff prediction here
-Winner must predict exact seeding of all 6 teams in each conference.
-Tiebreaker will be exact records of playoff teams starting with the highest seeds on down.
-2nd tiebreaker will be the records of the first few teams left out
-If nobody is able to predict the exact seeding of both conferences, but somebody is able to predict one conference accurately, I will send that person one bottle of hot sauce.

The results of Thursday night's game will probably not factor in to any of this so the deadline to post the screenshot of your playoff prediction is SUNDAY 12/8 1PM EST before the early games kick off.

Let's see if we can get more than 10 people to do this, then the contest is on! It shouldn't take anyone more than 5 minutes to input your picks and post a screenshot, unless you are challenged with such things (if you are just ask Joker or Josh or somebody).

I'll throw in a tee shirt and a mug (I'm already stretched out a bit on other things).

-Post a screenshot of your playoff prediction here

Hilarious! :mj07:

I find it funny because, I'll guess, 75% of the people seeing this will have no clue how to do that.

But, I'm in and will post mine later on this morning.

Good idea. :toast:

You only have the Ravens winning 1 of the last 4? :facepalm:

Prob right though. Win this week, lose last 3. Ugh!

Thanks for contributing Jack! :toast:

Maybe we can get Josh to post a tutorial on how to post a screenshot :0008

No offense to you or your Ravens, I just think they have one of the toughest schedules down the stretch. I have them winning this week, but then that's it. The running game is really going to have to show up for them to win games late in December and it just hasn't been there all season long. I wish you guys the best of luck though, because I've lost all hope for my Jets picking up that 6th seed.

I would absolutely love for the Ravens to meet the Colts in Indy for the Wildcard game.

Cincy #2 seed at 12-5? :mj07:

12-5? :mj07:

I've got Cincy as a #2 seed :shrug:

Pats are a bunch of frauds. They could just as easily be 6-6. All they need to drop from the two seed is to lose one more game than Cincy down the stretch because Cincy owns the tiebreaker.

Typo :0003

I didn't notice you had them #2, I only noticed one thing. :0003

The only difference between your card and mine is you have GB and I have Det as the 3rd seed in the NFC. I hope we're right. :toast:

I have Bal losing to Det and beating Cincy, you probably have the opposite.
