2007 NFL Playoff tournament

2/04/08 - Giants beat Patriots, wow! 0/34 picked the superbowl winner! Congrats to Tom W. on 1st place, Sal takes 2nd place, Luigi gets 3rd. Glen picked the exact tiebreaker of 31 points but fell 1 point short in the standings and has to settle for 4th place. Last year's champ, Aaron, finished 5th. After 3 years and 95 entries we still haven't had a perfect bracket... maybe next year. Also, out of those 95 entires, only FIVE have picked the Superbowl winners. This is why I don't bet on football (aside from this and fantasy football, of course)!
1/22/08 - Congrats to Tom W. who has already secured 1st place, regardless of the SB outcome. If NE wins, Luigi gets 2nd and Aaron and Glen go to the tiebreaker to determine 3rd place. If NYG wins, Sal gets 2nd and Luigi gets 3rd.
1/13/08 - Huge shake up in the standings today with IND and DAL losing. Tom W. has missed only one game and has the inside track for 1st, but a lot of people still have a chance.
1/12/08 - GB and NE rolled today, leaving Aaron and Sal with the only perfect brackets. Two big games tomorrow with SD vs IND @ 1pm and NYG vs DAL @ 4:30pm.
1/08/08 - After Wild Card weekend there are only 4 left with perfect brackets, including last year's winner, Aaron. We'll have to wait until next Saturday's Divisional games to see who takes the lead.

How to enter

Step 1. Print bracket and pick the winning teams all the way to the Super Bowl. Download bracket here.  (Or use the template below to email your picks.)
Important: For the Jan 12th-13th AFC & NFC Divisional Playoff games, the lowest remaining seed plays the #1 seed. For example, if #6 Tennessee beats #3 San Diego, #6 Tennessee would play #1 New England. Then #4 Pittsburgh or #5 Jacksonville would play #2 Indianapolis. So if you pick a #6 team to win, fill out the bracket accordingly.
Step 2. Include your name, email address, and tiebreaker on the bracket. Tiebreaker is the total points scored in the Super Bowl. Closest wins.
