As if pre-ordained the NFC championship comes down to the Hawks and Niners at Century Link on Sunday. Similarly our contest has narrowed the field substantially and only three remain standing... Nick (who's been in front all season), Jerry, and Jaydee who's been closing on the leaders...

Nick 6
Jerry 5
Jaydee 5

It's simple this week: Hawks are a 3.5 point favorite (3.0 in places, but 3.5 seems consensus), so if you pick HAWKS they need to win by 4 or more. Pick NINERS if you think they'll win, or lose by 3 or less...

Like last week, we'll do these by PM to allow entries to come in early without tipping your hand to the competition...

IMPORTANT: Also like last week, you'll need a tie-breaker which is your predicted outcome of the game (who wins, by how much)...

So a well formed entry will read like these examples:

HAWKS
Hawks by 8

-or-

NINERS
Hawks by 3

PM me your entry gents, and when I have them all I'll post to the thread before game time!

#GoHawks!
