Sorry for tonight’s game being listed as MONDAY. In the editing mode it has said SUNDAY all along. but keeps putting MONDAY in the post. RAVENS CLINCH AFC NUMBER1 SEED It has been brought to my attention concerning NFL Officials. WHY does the NFL offer up PLAYERS, and COACHES, to attend “after game” question and answer sessions. BUT…..WHY NOT the OFFICIALS ? Is it because “OFFICIALS calls should never be questioned”. Do they not care how the official oversee the game? Officiating is NOT easy. Officials are human and subject to making bad calls, (in error). Not only do they need to know EVERY rule. BUT; must watch for rule infractions every play. Still I agree OFFICIALS, should make a podium appearance, just like players and coaches. For those of you who are new here. This is 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. You add up the TOTAL CORRECT PICKS.. That would be your score. We use the Monday night (Last game played) as a TIE BREAKER. The tie is broken by the closest to the total (that is the COMBINED score of the two participating teams) final score, without going over. 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 pts on the second game and lost you would still have 1 pt. 1. HOWEVER. with the same scenario new scoring system would result with a –14 score 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 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.

Just when you think it can’t be worse…. FIRST time I have ever ended a week with a negative number. WHAT IS GOING ON? NFL is just getting so equal; or is it the “OFFICIATING”, that is causing all the misfit game outcomes. I don’t know. With all the betting sites we have now, one would have to wonder how are they doing. (I am sure they are finding a way to make money). Oh, well we will just continue to plod along here. IT IS JUST FOR FUN. Right? COLTS v BENGALS: Believe it or not ! I really think the COLTS will win this game. However my formula called this game a DRAW. So what i usually do in this case is take the HOME team. For those of you who are new here. This is how confidence ranking goes, let me explain. If we were playing an office pool,(which we ARE NOT).
