Champions League Prediction Game

[shizzle787]

Prize for winning: nothing, it's the internet.
If you want to play, here are the rules.
We will start with predicting results from the Playoff Round (last qualifying round) on to the final.
Points system:
Predicting winner of Playoff Round series: 1 point each
Predicting correct result (not necessarily correct score line) of individual group stage matches: 1 point each
Predicting who advances to Round of 16: 2 points each (2 bonus points for correct 1-2 combo in order)
Predicting who advances to QF, SF, F, winner: 3 points each

Total possible points and perfect score: 199

If you want to play, post who you think will win the 10 Playoff Round match-ups by August 15 (day before Playoff Round starts). The draw for the Playoff Round will be Friday.

[shizzle787]

I've decided we won't be predicting individual matches in the group stage, just who finishes 1-2 in each group as it's too much work to keep track of. So the max points is 103 now.

 

[meyers7]

A: 1. PSG / 2. Arsenal
B: 1. Benfica / 2. Napoli
C: 1. Barcelona / 2. Manchester City
D: 1. Bayern Munich / 2. Atletico Madrid
E: 1. Bayer Leverkusen / 2. Tottenham
F: 1. Real Madrid / 2. Sporting CP
G: 1. Porto / 2. Leicester City
H: 1. Juventus / 2. Sevilla
