The Sports Clash 2023 NFL Playoff Challenge

For the 2023 NFL playoffs, Rich and Chris of The Sports Clash have created a head to head tournament. The guys will take part in a snake draft to pick playoff teams and the player with the highest score at the end of the big game is the winner.

Watch the latest episode of The Sports Clash

Scoring:

Each team is awarded the amount of points coinciding with their seed number, plus bonus points per round.

Wild Card weekend win = Seed X 1

Divisional Round win = Seed x 2

Conference Finals win = Seed + 5 points

Super Bowl win = Seed + 10 points

Example: If the No. 7 Packers win round 1, whoever picked them gets 7 points. If they win round 2 they’ll get an additional 14 points (7 x 2), and if they win the NFC Championship Game they’ll get an additional 12 points (7+5).
