WINNER: KizKiz -- 2025 NFL Season

[flexmaster33]

Still working on getting the Week 18 set out...site problems have that in a delay at the moment.

[aaronvollrath]

thanks for all your efforts to make these tournaments possible!

[flexmaster33]

sure thing...I have a blast doing them

[flexmaster33]

Standings updated...Packers and Jaguars have clinched spots, but the bracket is still taking shape.

Once we have spots cemented, I'll send out the playoff games.

[flexmaster33]

All wildcard games are active except for the 2 vs. 7 matchup in the AFC, still working to decide the last qualifier on that side of the bracket.

[flexmaster33]

And Congrats to esquire and the Denver Broncos (my favorite team!!!) on being the first to advance into the Divisional round with a 36-9 wildcard win on the road.

[flexmaster33]

Pittsburgh and Denver have advanced on the AFC side, while Philadelphia is putting the finishing touches on a wildcard win in the NFC

[flexmaster33]

Green Bay advances to the Divisional round...once we get results in the 2 vs. 7 matchups we'll be able to set the matchups for the Divisional round.

[flexmaster33]

All road wins on the NFC side in the wildcard round ... a series of upsets has jumbled the bracket a bit.

Divisional matchups are set for the NFC...getting close to determining the #7 seed on the AFC side.

re:

is that how it works in the real nfl playoffs?

[flexmaster33]

Yes, they reseed in the NFL playoffs. So the #1 seed faces the lowest seed to get through the wildcard round.

[flexmaster33]

The Packers (aaronvollrath) got a big win in Special teams to get past Philadelphia 27-24 in the Divisional round and advance to the NFC Championship game.

Also, Tennessee (9-8) took the last playoff spot after Cleveland and Cincinnati played to a 28-28 tie in the regular season finale.
On that note, Standings listed now are final for the season.

[flexmaster33]

Tennessee pulls off a 29-28 upset over Jacksonville to wrap up the wildcard round. All six road teams won in the wildcard round.

Got my name on it after this crazy run of luck

[flexmaster33]

Sportsgod24 -- won the prize for highest point differential through the regular season.

[flexmaster33]

And Denver is onto the AFC championship game with a 48-9 win over Pittsburgh.

[kizkiz]

We are down to our last game and it can't affect the outcome if you want to crack on?

[flexmaster33]

We've got Tennessee advancing to play Denver in the AFC title game and Dallas advances as the #1 seed to face Green Bay in the NFL title game.

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to sportsgod24 on moving into the Super Bowl where he will work on defending his title from last season -- this time with the Cowboys.

In an ironic twist, I believe he's playing his former team!

[flexmaster33]

Yes, indeed.

Our Super Bowl Tennessee Titans vs. Dallas Cowboys ... just in time to start with the real deal on Sunday!!!

[flexmaster33]

Thanks to all for playing...a heads up, I'm thinking through some sort of World League based football tourney to run this spring/summer, so keep your eyes peeled on the tourney tab

Ratings will be through the roof for this one! History happening either way with a team winning back to back with different coaches or a coach winning back to back with two different teams.

It's also....
1. My debut season in the comp
2. I chose a trench home map after not reading the rules properly to really make it hard mode
3. I only made the playoffs after another match was a draw in week 18
4. All my playoff wins were on the road

Gotta be some records in there

[sportsgod24]

One day the Cowboys will win a Super Bowl again, today is not that day. kizkiz and the Titans earned it, winning when it matter. Thanks for another great tournament Flex. I'll shift my focus to the NCAA season and continue the pursuit with my Coogs.
