Down to the final four. I wonder what kind of money you could have made had you bet on a Steelers-Patriots AFC title game? Anyway, there is a new wrinkle in this week's game.

The games will still be worth a total of 10 points. But you will determine how many points you want to wager on each game. YOU CAN WAGER 6, 7 OR 8 POINTS ON THE TEAM YOU ARE MOST CONFIDENT IN AND THE BALANCE ON THE OTHER PICK. For example, if I am picking the Rams and Patriots and I am really confident in the Rams, I may pick as follows:

Rams-8 pts
Patriots-2 pts

or maybe

Rams-7 pts
Patriots-3 pts


YOU MUST RISK AT LEAST 6 POINTS ON YOUR MOST CONFIDENT PICK, BUT NO MORE THAN 8 POINTS! Wager wisely boys! All picks due by 12 noon Eastern time Sunday!

The games are:

Patriots at Steelers

Eagles at Rams

In case you didn't get my last e-mail:
8 points on the patriots
2 points on the eagles

I'm getting a little worried about my Rams selection because of all this Kurt Warner's ribs ordeal. Well maybe it'll be a Marshall Faulk game.

Tick, tock! Under 24 hours to get those picks in guys! If your name isn't listed on any of the posts on this thread, I haven't received picks from you. Have received additional picks from:
