Not to be a stickler here, but shouldn't you have come up with a tie breaker in the first post, or at least before the last day of the season?
Umm no

There is going be 10+ of you guys that passed Chops challenge. As a result, the remaining contestants will compete in a post season contest... ( I will post a list of the contestants that qualify by Noon Eastern Tomorrow)

Here's the Contest...

In keeping with the spirit of the contest, you need to pick the 3 NFL Playoff teams that will WIN the FEWEST Games in the postseason...
Every time the teams you pick WIN, they get a point

The person that has the fewest points ( combined wins ) Wins the $500 Contest from ChopTalk

Pick 3 of these teams:
New England Patriots
Denver Broncos
Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore Ravens
Indianapolis Colts
Green Bay Packers
Seattle Seahawks
Carolina Panthers
Dallas Cowboys
Arizona Cardinals
Detroit Lions

TB #1: Pick the Super Bowl Winner
TB #2: Pick the Total of the Super Bowl
(TIE BREAKERS MUST BE CHOOSE BEFORE THE START OF THE PLAYOFFS, AS WELL AS ALL THE SELECTIONS)

Pick the three teams you think will lose the quickest?

I'm sorry bro but this sounds ridiculous. How about just a straight cap off for the final 9 playoff games? Winner takes all.

Why? Its just a free contest and its a way to determine the winner - so tough to please

If those of you that qualified do not like the tiebreaker feel free to not enter the post season contest.

I dunno that does sound like a pretty awful tiebreaker.

Why not have everyone fillout some type of bracket where you get 1-2-3-4pts by rd and highest wins or something

Coming from someone who did not participate in this contest, I'd just like to say I think Defying came up with an excellent post season contest to determine the winner. This was a contest about picking losers, not winners, so why change it. Good job, Defying.

Exactly

So far NFL Trends is the champ.

If if nobody else enters he wins by default

List of people that qualify for Postseason Contest....

Note: Sorry to those that don't like the contest. I was trying to come up with something that stuck with theme of the contest (picking losers) and something that was a one time thing, not a weekly pick em... Good Luck

Always a fun challenge, thanks again Chop!
Tie breaker sounds cool. Nothing wrong with changing things up to make it interesting.
