For winning a Yahoo league, I get to be in "The League of Champions" - basically every week of the playoffs I pick a QB, RB, two WR, TE, K, and DEF. The top 60 teams each week get a $100 Visa gift card, the top accumulated points after the Super Bowl gets $3,000 cash.

The catch is, you can't use a player more than once. So predictions play a huge role in it and you're almost encouraged to pick players you think will lose. For instance, if you think the Pats and Saints will be in the SB (as I do), you need to make sure you save either Brady or Brees to use that week.

My Wild Card weekend team is:

QB: Aaron Rodgers
RB: Shonn Greene
WR: Dwayne Bowe and DeSean Jackson
TE: Jacob Tamme
K: David Akers
DEF: Saints

Toughest call was easily QB. I had Vick initially as I think the Packers will win, but I think Rodgers is a safer bet. I figure if Vick plays great and gets the Eagles through, he'll be an option later on. If not, I'll still have Brady, Brees, hopefully Peyton, and others to pick from later. Saving Jennings though so hopefully he won't go to waste.

Think the Colts and Saints will both win but the pickings were slim this week and there are enough good TEs and DEFs to slot in later on.
