\nTeddy, thanks to his strong belief in Baltimore (9) and Green Bay (11) takes the lead after the wild card round.\u00a0 His only big loss was Philadelphia, whom he had at 8, but it was good for him, considering he was so high on Green Bay.\u00a0 Teddy may be in even better shape than it seems, as he has only lost 21 points – far fewer than anyone else.\u00a0 He was helped mainly because of how low he was on New Orleans.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = -1
\nBaltimore over Kansas City = +7
\nGreen Bay* over Philadelphia = +3<\/p>\n
\nPhi (8), NO^(6), KC^(2), Sea^ (1)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Alexi is\u00a0in\u00a0prerry good shape after the wild card round,\u00a0as he and fellow Ravens fan Teddy are sitting 1-2 in the Challenge.\u00a0 <\/em>Alexi was real low on the Eagles, so their loss doesn’t hurt him, and his 11-spot with Baltimore might be huge.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = -4
\nBaltimore* over Kansas City^ = +9
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia^ = +4<\/p>\n
\nNO (10), Ind (7), Phi (5), KC^ (2)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Rob Smith put a lot of faith in both the Eagles and Packers, so he was not hurt that bad, even though he lost his 12-team.\u00a0 He also has a lot of faith in the Jets, so if they can go a long way, Rob Smith could still win this thing.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = +3
\nBaltimore over Kansas City = +2
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia* = -2<\/p>\n
\nPhi* (12), NO (9), Ind (4), KC (3)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Bry put too much faith in the hometown Eagles, as their loss is going to hurt him.\u00a0 But, he did put a lot of faith in Baltimore, which should help.\u00a0 He was also the only one to get more than 1 point for the Seahawks, as he put them at 2.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = +1
\nBaltimore over Kansas City = +5
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia = -4<\/p>\n
\nPhi (11), NO (9), Ind (4), KC (3)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Doogan took the biggest hit with the Saints elimination, but did real well with the Ravens and did not lose much at all with the Eagles loss.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = -2
\nBaltimore over Kansas City^ = +7
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia^ = +2<\/p>\n
\nNO* (11), Ind (6), Phi (5), KC^ (2)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Matt’s day looks good, but he is one of three entries to lose his 12-team in the first round, as he had Indy there.\u00a0 Fortunately, he actually did quite well in the other games, including a big win for his entry by Green Bay.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets^ over Indianapolis* = -10
\nBaltimore over Kansas City = +3
\nGreen Bay* over Philadelphia^ = +6<\/p>\n
\nInd* (12), NO (8), Phi^ (5), KC (3)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>The Cuz got hit hard in the NFC, as he had the Eagles and Saints big, and the Packers and Seahawks small.\u00a0 He did have a lot of faith in the Ravens, so he still has hope.\u00a0 Also, he has a decent number (6) on the Bears, which could help.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = -1
\nBaltimore over Kansas City^ = +6
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia = -6<\/p>\n
\nPhi (11), NO (10), Ind (4), KC^ (2)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>J took a huge hit in losing New Orleans, but he still has a lot of his points remaining, including his 9-team in Baltimore.\u00a0 He is not high on the Packers or Falcons, so the way the NFC played out may hurt him.\u00a0 He does have a decent number on the Bears, though, so that could help.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = -1
\nBaltimore over Kansas City^ = +7
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia = -5<\/p>\n
\nNO* (11), Phi (8), Ind (5), KC^ (2)<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Alex put all his eggs in the Kansas City basket, and now he is in trouble here.\u00a0 He also was extremely low on Green Bay, which doesn’t help.\u00a0 What does help, however, is his 10-spot on the Jets.\u00a0 If the Jets go all the way, he could be a contender.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets* over Indianapolis = +6
\nBaltimore over Kansas City* = -9
\nGreen Bay^ over Philadelphia = -7<\/p>\n
\nKC* (12), Phi (9), NO (7), Ind (4)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Scott had all of his double-digit teams\u00a0on the bye, so he isn’t out of it yet, but he did not have a great day.\u00a0 The Eagles hit him hard, and the Colts hit him even harder.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis = -4
\nBaltimore over Kansas City^ = +4
\nGreen Bay over Philadelphia = -6<\/p>\n
\nPhi (11), NO (10), Ind (4), KC^ (2)<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Waters, despite his low point total, is not in terrible shape, since lost the 2nd fewest points in the whole Challenge.\u00a0 The loss of 10-team New Orleans does hurt, but he is in really good position, as he is MUCH higher on Chicago than anyone else.<\/p>\n
\nN.Y. Jets over Indianapolis^ = +2
