FIRST-EVER Playoff Portenders Pick-em Challenge

This year I am commencing another post-season event on "the Gridiron", the "Playoff Portenders Pick-em Challenge"! Here are the few details you NEED to know:
1) Scoring - Fairly simple... proportionate scoring...
Correctly predicting the winner(s)...
- On Wild-Card Weekend is worth 3 points each;
- In the Divisional Round is also worth 3 points each, but, first twist, minus 1 point if you did NOT predict the correct opponent;
- Of the Conference Championships is worth 6 points each and minus 2 if your prediction for the opponent was incorrect;
- Of the Super Bowl is worth 12 points, minus 4 if you did not predict the correct opponent.
You are also to include a TOTAL POINTS SCORED for the Super Bowl. That is how the winner of the Challenge will be determined in case of a tie/ties.
Got it??? If not, just screw it! You'll see how it's done after it's tabulated. Just put your picks up and let the rest unfold...
So, moving right along,...
2) Submitting your playoff predictions
FIRST OFF, ONLY ONE SUBMISSION PER MEMBER!!! Only your last submission will be counted.
Next, you are to submit them either to "Referee" by instant message here on "the Gridiron":
(Direct Link) http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?action=ims end;to=Mod1;
or via the following thread:
http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=56;a ction=display;num=1136201716.
Your picks are DUE by the kickoff of the Wild-Card games this Saturday, January 7th!!!
You are to use a format that doesn't boggle the mind, something along the lines of the following is what I suggest and since I am processing the stuff and you surely don't want me to get your picks wrong, the suggestion of the guy processing the stuff should probably be paid extra heed to (huh?):
Wild-Card Round
Tampa Bay over Washington
New England over Jacksonville
New York over Carolina
Cincinnati over Pittsburgh
Divisional Round
Chicago over Tampa Bay
Seattle over New York
Denver over Cincinnati
Indianapolis over New England
Conference Championships
Seattle over Chicago
Indianapolis over Denver
Super Bowl
Indianapolis over Seattle (49 points total will be scored)
FINALLY, another little twist following along the lines of the aforementioned twist of having points subtracted if you do not forecast the correct opponent,... for those adventurous (in one way) or should I say less adventurous (in another) souls who are willing to concede imperfection but want to hedge their bets,... a bracket that doesn't make sense based on your prior predictions may be submitted... For example:
Wild-Card Weekend
Jacksonville over New England
Divisional Round
New England over Indianapolis
BUT, you can only submit one, right??? So,... I think, while you'll all find this to be an intriguing wrinkle and hedging your bets, especially given the first twist, may seem tempting, you'll ultimately find conceding to imperfection pretty hard...
3) Score Tallies will be reported every week right here on THIS thread, the administration and discussion thread.
Discussions and commentary are permitted on this thread...

Double D, I'm glad to see that you are IN (both post-season activities we got goin' on)!!!  A quick heads up, as per what I quoted above, you forgot to include a guess at the "total points scored for the Super Bowl". It probably won't come down to that, but... ya never know...
