The NFL playoffs are upon us once again, and I will be pulling for the Cowboys (big surprise). As a public service to you, I am posting a playoff bracket that you can use to follow the games if you are so inclined. Here it is in both WORD and PDF formats.

Only a thug would support a team that fired Tom Landry. 😛

Watch out Denny! Your support of the non-kosher game of American football is making you lose friends amongst the liberal Episcopalians.

Mr. Denny – Take a look at your bracket setup, I happened to notice that its incorrect. If the Redskins win they will then play Dallas in the Divisional Playoffs not Green Bay. Switch em’ up.

Oh man!
I was excited because I thought you had come up with an interesting way to draw a bracket in which the highest seed always plays the lowest seed!
What a bummer! Your bracket, of course, falls apart if Tennessee or Washington wins (and Washington will win).

Here’s the source for my bracket: http://sportsline.com/nfl/standings/playoffrace/bracket .
Are you sure it’s wrong?

The problem is that it’s not a true bracket. After the wild card games, the lowest remaining seed plays the #1, while the higher remaining seed plays the #2. Example: #3 Seattle vs. #6 Washington in the NFC. If Seattle wins, they play #2 Green Bay, while the winner of #4 vs. #5 goes to Dallas, being the lower seed. If Washington wins, they go to Dallas (being the lowest seed) and the #4/#5 winner goes to Green Bay, becoming the higher seed. Kinda confusing, but there it is.

Hard to draw a bracket like that. There needs to be an asterisk with an explanation on it somewhere.

By the way…bring it on ‘Skins! 🙂

Whoops, Denny didn’t read the fine print over at CBS! From the bottom of the bracket page:
“…The NFL playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded Wild Card survivor. There are no restrictions on intra-division games and the higher seed of any matchup will have home-field advantage.”
Denny Burk
Okay, fellas. I guess you all did me the public service!
I’ve fixed the brackets, so you can check them out now.
Thanks,
Denny

Upsets galore this weekend:
3 away teams will win: Jacksonville, Washington, and NY Giants.

NFC championship prediction:
Green Bay at Dallas … Green Bay wins.
(Hard to beat Brett F twice in one season (unless you are Chicago))
Kevin J
They didn’t beat Brett F last time. Also, Brett F has never won in Dallas (0 for 8 1/2)

Thanks for the bracket!

If the Dallas defense gets it together and step it up, Dallas can reach the Super Bowl…..Anything less, means an early exit.
The Cowboys finished 13-3, but have played more like a 9-7 team. I’ve been a Dallas fan since 1971 and in my opinion, their best season had to be the 1977 season. They finished at 12-2 and won SB XII over Denver.
