stalagna also took a gamble and I hope he bet that in real life and won a bunch of money!! He will get a large advantage in next challenge
polarsi scored just 4 points and has been eliminated from the game
da_goat and darny10 both tied with 10 points but goat wins tiebreaker 1 and gets a small advantage in next challenge

Looks like we either suck at picking NHL or most of favorites lost.
da_goat ended up with 36 points and wins this challenge
tangplay and Sportsbulls tied for last with 26 points each and with 35 goals scored in NHL Sportsbulls moves on and tangplay has been eliminated!

I had plans for a great challenge with NFL Championship games but I learned I'm going to be away on business this weekend- dammit!! I have a little family vacation planned next week so unfortunately I'm going to put the game on hold until at least next weekend. Sorry guys!
We'll do a little challenge with the NFL Championship games. Post in this thread your game predictions and scores. Must pick both game winners correctly and total margin of victory for both games must be within 10 points. If anyone or multiple players guess correctly they will receive a small advantage in next challenge.

My sure to go wrong picks-

New England- 27
Kansas City- 23

New Orleans- 31
St. Louis- 30

KC: 31
NE: 28

LA: 27
NO: 20

Phew. I knew my lack of NHL knowledge would come back to bite me. Lucky my tiebreaker won. Sorry to see you go tangplay.

At least I made it farther this time... But I figured it would be a NHL/NBA challenge that did me in.

Thanks for hosting this golfpro and I wish everyone remaining luck!

Chiefs 30, Patriots 24
Saints 41, Rams 38

New England- 21
Kansas City- 17

New Orleans- 34
St. Louis- 31

Chiefs- 37
Patriots- 27

Saints- 35
Rams- 24

let’s hope the games are better than these predictions
