Wild card weekend was a wild one indeed. Now we move on the Divisional round. Let's check in with how the Silver & Black Pride staff predictions are coming along as well as how the S&BP community did in their picks.

The staff picks aren't doing well. The only perfect bracket left belongs to Marcus and that's only because he didn't even pick a team that played in the first weekend. Yup, all one and two seeds in the conference championships for Marcus and both number one seeds in the Super Bowl. Way to go out on a limb.

RDreamer and myself were the only ones to pick two teams which played in the first weekend and we were both wrong. I picked the Bengals to go to the Super Bowl (don't ask me what I was thinking. Suffice to say I WAY overthought it) which means I am pretty much assuredly out of it.

AFC AFC NFC NFC AFC Champ NFC Champ Super Bowl winner
Marcus Broncos Patriots Seahawks Panthers Broncos Seahawks Seahawks
Jeff Broncos Patriots Seahawks Packers Broncos Seahawks Seahawks
SOB Broncos Patriots Seahawks Eagles Broncos Seahawks Seahawks
Asher Broncos Bengals Seahawks Panthers Broncos Seahawks Broncos
RDreamer Broncos Bengals Seahawks Eagles Broncos Seahawks Seahawks
Levi Broncos Bengals Seahawks Eagles Bengals Seahawks Seahawks

As for the community picks, there were 25 submissions who had no more than one incorrect team and 15 that are still perfect. Granted six of those were of the Marcus variety with no teams that played in the first weekend. That gives us nine submissions still perfect along with at least one team chosen from the Wild Card weekend.

There was just one perfect submission that has at least two teams from the Wild Card round in it... and it has THREE! That submission came from CLOWNZIEL who has both the Chargers and Colts in the AFC championship game and the 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Nicely done.

Here is the entire top ten submissions so far:

AFC AFC NFC NFC AFC Champ NFC Champ Super Bowl winner
CLOWNZIEL Chargers Colts Seahawks 49ers Colts Seahawks Colts
Warrior Phenom Broncos Colts Seahawks Panthers Broncos Panthers Panthers
lakers007raiders Broncos Patriots Seahawks Saints Broncos Seahawks Broncos
Raider208 Broncos Colts Seahawks Panthers Colts Seahawks Seahawks
gr8rRaider Broncos Colts Seahawks Panthers Colts Seahawks Colts
ChuyJess26 Broncos Patriots Seahawks 49ers Patriots Seahawks Seahawks
Jososi Colts Patriots Seahawks Panthers Colts Seahawks Seahawks
uk_raider Broncos Patriots Seahawks Saints Broncos Seahawks Seahawks
senior dgaf Broncos Colts Seahawks Panthers Broncos Seahawks Seahawks

By next week we may not even have ten total perfect brackets. It should get interesting by the end. If the Seahawks lose, everyone is screwed. Well, all except perhaps Warrior Phenom and RaiderKilluminati who both have the Panthers representing the NFC in the Super Bowl.
