Last week, the fine folks who write for Purple PTSD and Vikings Territory participated in the opening round of the NFL Purple Playoff Prediction Tournament (a.k.a The Fellowship of the Win). Each correct choice resulted in one point. The closest score prediction for last week’s final game – the Cards v. Rams – led to a bonus point. Here is where things stand:

Josh: 5
Noah: 5
Henrique: 5
Steven: 5
Tom: 5
Kyle: 5 (snagged the bonus)
Adam: 4
LeeAnn: 4
Cole: 4
Kirby: 3

As you can see, temporal glory is still up for grabs. It’s anyone’s race.

This week, we bump things up to 1.5 points per correct prediction. The games mean more, so the point system reflects that. Take a look at where our great writers think the wins will end up.
