Or will he hit several road bumps. RECAP: WEEK 16. Let’s start with the biggest surprise. Clevland Browns are no longer W-I-N-L-E-S-S!!!! They took advantage of the Raiders “safe mode” to earn a 20-17 VICTORY. Avoiding the shame of a winless season.. Once more we were treated to an OT game. Played by the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills, with the Dolphin on top 34-21 ONE game was a single point separation. The San Francisco took advantage of a player conservative game by a team already in the playoffs. With a 22-21 Victory over the Los Angeles Rams. ONE game by two points. That being the Houston Texans win over the Bengals from Cincinnatti with a score 12-10. The only game won by 3 points was settled with a 34-31 OT WIN Miami Dolphins, topping the BILLS OF Buffalo. FORthose of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain. If we were playing an office pool,(which we ARE NOT). The object is to score the most points. To obtain the score YOU rank the teams by how confident you are a team will win its game. EXAMPLE: Say this week we have 16 games. The team you are most confident will win you would assign the number 16 and follow down to the team you are least confident in and assign that number 1. We use the Monday night game as a TIE BREAKER. The tie is broke by the closest to the total (that is the COMBINED score of the two participating tams) final score, without going over. If we were playing this is how my sheet would look; My pick will be in bold Capital letters. you can use circling, underlining, or highlighting. I will show my correct points in Bold YOU can adopt the scoring described above. Or, the optional method. A negative score for missed games. We will continue to get a positive score for correct predictions. EXAMPLE: if you scored 1 pt on the first game and you had 15 pt on the second game and lost you would still have a Positive 1. HOWEVER. with the same scenario new scoring system would result with a -14 score. I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use. Or to see if you can beat me. IF YOU SEE I MADE A MISS COPY OF THE GAMES AND TIMES FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND TELL ME I GOOFED. * Keep in mind; NFL sometimes uses, “FLEXIBLE SCHEDULEING”, which means they may change game times. Unless I catch the last minute change you will see the original schedule. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WIN GIVES MIAMI DOLPHINS FIRST PLAY OFF BERTH SINCE 2008 PITTSBURGH STEELERS CLINCH AFC NORTH TITLE. GIVES KANSAS CITY CHIEFS PLAY OFF BERTH HOUSTON TEXANS CLINCH AFL SOUTH DIVISION TITLE This is one of those weeks we wonder about. Will we see the best side of teams which have clinched their division titles: or will they rest thier starters. I prefer to see them compete all of the way through the season. But, unless you have an unbeaten season, WHY risk injuries. GIANTS LOSS ELEVATES COWBOY TO NFC EAST TITLE RECAP WEEK 15: This week we had zero (0) ties. But that doesn’t mean we were deprived of nail-biters. Three ,(3), games were decided by THREE (3) points. Those were Green Bay Packers escaping the Chicago Bears 30–27. (I was a little surprised the score was this close). Also we watched the Oakland Raiders beat the San Diego Chargers 19-16. With a total of 2 points difference the Tennessee Titans surprised the Kansas Chiefs 19-17. Pretty close games: Right? Wait for it now we get to the REAL, NAIL-BITERS. Two games were separated by ONE ,(1), mere point. That action saw the Baltimore Ravens, beat, the Eagles from Philadelphia: 27-26. AND a second game margin of 1 point. Houston Texans escaped, (at the last second), 21-20 If you can’t have a tie or OT One (1) point is the next best thing. This week and one more week will mark the end of the REGULAR SEASON. Who will fill the remainder of the post season spots? I HOPE it is mine. If it can’t be mine maybe it will be yours. OR MAYBE OURS. PS: We still don’t know how injuries affect the Seattle Seahawks, They really didn’t get tested in Week 15. For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain.

RAIDERS CLINCH PLAYOFF BERTH ! (1st Time since 2002) PATRIOTS CLINCH AFC EAST TITLE ! SEAHAWKS CLINCH NFL WEST TITLE ! RECAP WEEK 14: Let’s see; There was only 1 OT Game. New York Jets 23 – San Fransciso 49’ers 17. End of Regulation it was 17-17. NO TIES. We saw four games decided by 3 pts or less. Denver Broncos 10 TENNESSEE TITANS 13. Arizona Cardinals 23 – MIAMI DOLPHNS 26. Chicago Bears 17 – DETROIT LIONS 20. AND. Dallas Cowboys losing 7 – NEW YORK GIANTS 10. As for the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS I noticed a small share of weakness with Rob Gronkowski MIA. Maybe it will show up more when they play a stronger team. Maybe not. What happened with SEATTLE SEAHAWKS? That poor showing cannot reflect entirely on missing RB Thomas Rawls. Granted the GREEN BAY PACKERS are not a team to be taken lightly. Buuut! One has to wonder where Seattle left their DEFENSE. Did they get off the flight somewhere along the way and just wander the airport? SAME, can be said tor the OFFENSE. Russell Wilson played a very good game; (considering he had no protection AT ALL). NOW, Had they had the THREAT of Thomas Rawls, perhaps he could have helped keep them in the game. It was a cinch the receivers could not hang on to the ball if it had a handle. Way to many dropped passses and missed assignments. Some how this week, Coach Carroll must find the solution to this problem, If they are to stay in the hunt for another SUPER BOWL APPEARANCE/WIN.

NFL CONFIDENCE PICKS WEEK 14 12/08-11- 12/2016
RECAP WEEK 13: Last week we had no OT’s. No Ties. We did have 2 blow out games. Both were PRIMETIME games. (What happened to flexible scheduling? ) Sunday night the Seattle SEAHAWKS blew away the Carolina PANTHERS, 40-7. 33 Pt difference. That is more than some teams scored, Heck, that is more some game totals. The other was the romp of the Indianapolis COLTS over the New York Jets. 41-10. I can remeber when these two teams were what I considered a real rivalry. It didn’t matter whether the Jets Or Colts were having an outstanding season with the other having a mediocre to terrible season. When the two teams met it was a toss up. We are in crunch time now. This week and only 3 more remain in regular season. We saw Teams, SOME of the TOP teams KEY players suffer season ending injuries. How will this play out. If you go by my philosophy; NEXT man up should perform as well as the man he replaces, (Or real close to it). That means little difference in the play. IF THE COACH HAS DONE HIS JOB. It takes time to adjust. But a really good coach will have planned for something like this and worked THAT NEXT MAN UP enough with the team, there will be familiarity, and YES there will be a little difference. Our Basketball coach always said “We have no STARTERS. Every player has something to contribute”. If we play a team that is, or has a player with a special gift, Any one of you may start if I feel you have WHAT we need to stop or slow it down. So be prepared to start any game”. So, Yes due to talent levels, that INJURED player most likely has his SPECIAL talent and is the best on the team at that special job, has more game experience. B-U-T, maybe the next up is only a tic away, With maybe a little help from a team mate who happens to have a lighter assignment this week helps a little…..WHO knows.
