UPDATE:    Below are the players picks.  

#4 Jamez1156- PHI, OVER 50.5 -POW. vs

#15 Air Jordan – PHI-POW, OVER 50.5

Jamez1156 wins if either Kansas City covers or if the total goes over 50.5.  Air Jordan wins with a Philadelphia cover and the total goes UNDER 50.5

#4 Jamez1156 and #15 Air Jordan both went +3 to eliminate #3 Old School Bandits (+1) and #1 JamieGSteelers (+1) respectively.

#4 Jamez1156 will take on #15 Air Jordan in the Super Bowl.  Both players will take a side and then the over/under (using the total points going over or under the total).  If both players have identical picks, the winner will be determined by the higher seed’s POW meaning the higher seed wins with a POW win or loses with a POW loss.
