So if all four games are even, what % of pickers should advance? The odds say 75%, I'll say 78% will. What % will get 3 or 4 right? Odds say 25%, I'll say 26%. What % will get all four correct? Odds say 6.25%, I'll say 5%.

I am guessing about 30 to advance..if it gets more by much I may have to up the next round to 3 out of 4.....in fact the more I think about it....it makes more sense to up the % each round...50% this round.....75% next round and 100% in the championship games. Hoping for about 3-5 in the finals...we'll see.

Next round will be pm'd to me.

So it is no advantage to a picker to get 4 correct this weekend, compared to half right? Everyone who gets to the next round has an equal chance of coming out on top in the end?

With the Bengal loss, I know I should have picked all the away teams. But, they are on of the teams I almost always root for, so I couldn't pass it up even though I thought they had the least chance to win of all the home teams!
