NFL playoff prediction contest

I am a Patriots fan, and as of last week, my team has been eliminated from playoff contention. Wanting to make the playoffs fun for myself, I decided I would assemble a playoff bracket  — predicting what teams would win and the scores of games to give myself something to root for in games I'm not really invested in. 

Seeing as there are probably other fans in the same position, I'm extending an invite to anyone who reads this article to fill out your own bracket and submit it to this Google form for a chance to win a $50 gift card if you perfectly predict the playoffs. 

Submissions will be open until Jan. 7 at 11:59 p.m. AKST, at which point I will be keeping track of which brackets are still holding strong through each round of the playoffs.

Predictions for each round of the playoffs will require picking a team to win each game, along with predictions of the score of each game. A bracket will be considered perfect if all the team predictions line up with the results of the games that are played, score predictions will act as a tiebreaker if multiple brackets perfectly predict the outcomes of games. 

My current bracket is a hypothetical based on which teams I think will make the playoffs as of now, hopefully no team crashes out hard and makes me look dumb — I'm directing that statement largely toward the Vikings and Steelers.
