- Everybody except Vinny has picked the Colts and the Seahawks to pull the Wild Card Weekend upsets

- John picked every road team to win during Wild Card Weekend, as is the only gambler to pick the Bengals at all

- Greg is the only person to pick the 49ers to win one game in the playoffs

- Nobody has the #1 seed Falcons going further than Championship Weekend, with half thinking they won’t win one playoff game
