isn't my score of 17-28 better than your 20-38 or am i not getting the rules right or reading your post wrong,

Saints won by 15 points, you predicted a margin of 11 points while I had 18 points. 18 is a tiny bit closer to 15, so by rule I win the tie-breaker. Your prediction is only off by 4 points on the Eagles which makes this whole situation as bad as it could possibly get.

After I explained to you why I picked that exact score you can probably tell that I was joking but hey... joking sometimes gets you in trouble.  You can do whatever you want since it's your league and the tie breakers won't probably mean much, but you did jump from 5th to 2nd because of the change.

Oh, and you should be ashamed to call yourself a Packers fan if you don't hate the Bears.  You just don't get it.  As an American, I feel it my responsibility to inform you of these things.  I also need to inform you that the Bears 52 points were the most in a single game since they scored 61 against the Packers in 1980...

 

I was hoping that the Eagles score a touchdown on their final drive, because the actual outcome isn't pretty. If I greenlight my changed prediction, I'll have to expect the trouble to define at which point changing a prediction becomes clear abuse of the system that is in place.

It's hard to hate the Bears when they paved the road to a Super Bowl win for the Packers. And I already knew that the Packers of the '70s and '80s were awful.

It's your league sir, but I cast my vote.

The Bears would have won that NFC Championship game game if they didn't bring in Todd Collins for a couple of drives.  The grat Caleb Hanie was eating their defense up.  The problem is that the Bears in 1980 were pretty bad.  7-9 I believe.  Losing to that team 61-7 is beyond awful.  I would bring up the all time Bears/Packers head to head record, but you should be allowed to keep some dignity.
