-During the regular season you are welcome to note us your selections in advance if you know you might be away for the weekend but we'd prefer if you could just respond to the journal with your picks. (Journal will be posted every Monday)
-You do not have to put score predictions in during the season but feel free to do so if you wish. Score predictions will be part of the Playoffs
-You may use a team name or a nickname when making picks otherwise we will just use your FA name.
-Please list all selections in one comment (Or in a continuation of your original comment if you are breaking up your picks for Thursday games, Sunday games, and Monday games). They can be as in-depth or as simple as you want. You are free to change your picks up until the first kickoff of that night of the week. Once the first kickoff for Thursday, Sunday, or Monday occurs no more predictions or alterations for that day will be allowed. If you miss a day feel free to make predictions for the other days of the week.
-At the end of 17 weeks the 10 players with the most wins will move into the Playoffs which will follow a similar format. In the event a game ends with a tie you will gain neither a Win nor a Loss.
-Finally, have fun. This group is here so you can enjoy furries and football =P


The AFC playoff race is looking a lot clearer than the NFC going in to week 17. In the AFC Denver, New England, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis have all won their respective Divisions whith the Chiefs securing the 1st Wild Card. The Dolphins currently sit in the only open slot remaining as the 2nd Wild Card with the Ravens, Chargers, and Steelers still mathematically in the hunt.
In the NFC the only certainty currently is that the Seahawks and Panthers will be in the playoffs but every seed is still up for grabs as no one in the NFC has clinched their division (This was written before Week 16s MNF). Currently "in the hunt" are Philly, Chicago, San Francisco, New Orleans, Arizona, Dallas, and Green Bay all fighting for the final 4 playoff tickets.
This is the current playoff setup via NFL.com if anyone wants to see for themselves Playoff Standings
