NFL CONFIDENCE PICKS WEEK 6 10/10-13-14/2024

What can I say about last week “DISASTEROUS” Going back to my spreadsheet and see if I can find something that changed.  So many bad picks in last couple of weeks.  Sure hope I find a problem there.   We think we found the problem.  Some how one column had a multiplier missing.  Not all rows were affected but most were.  Don’t know how that happened.   So with that being said LET US see if we can be back on track this week.  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. IF YOU SEE I MADE A MIS-COPY OF THE GAMES AND TIMES FEEL  FREE TO EMAIL ME AND TELL ME I GOOFED.

SUPER BOWL LVIII RECAP FROM ALLEGIANT STADIUM LAS VEGAS

[adrotate group=”1″]\   🏈 In a thrilling showdown at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the San Francisco 49ers. The game was a nail-biter, with both teams leaving it all on the field. KEY STATS FROM THE GAME: Final Score: Kansas City Chiefs 25, San Francisco 49ers 22. Period Scores: Chiefs: 1st Quarter (0), 2nd Quarter (3), 3rd Quarter (10), 4th Quarter (6), 1st OT (6). 49ers: 1st Quarter (0), 2nd Quarter (10), 3rd Quarter (0), 4th Quarter (9), 1st OT (3). SCORING SUMMARY The 49ers’ Jake Moody nailed a 55-yard FG in the 2nd quarter.  This gave the 99th overall pick, ROOKIE, the record for longest FG,  in SUPER BOWL HISTORY.  Which also gives him the longest FG in SUPER BOWL HISTORY, by a ROOKIE. The 49ers’ Juan Jennings caught a 21-yard TD pass in the 2nd quarter. The CHIEFS’l Harrison Butker made successful field goals from 28 and 57 yd FG in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. (This 57 yd FG erased the previous record set by Rookie Jake Moody in the 2nd quarter.  HOWEVER I believe the 55 yd FG by the rookie will stand as a record by a Rookie). The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 16-yard touchdown in the 3rd quarter. The 49ers’ Brock Purdy found Juan Jennings for a 10 yard TD in the 4th quarter.  (You remember Brock Purdy…Mr Irrelevent. He has proved himself to have been grossly overlooked by the rest of the NFL teams during the draft). Both teams traded field goals in overtime, but the CHIEFS secured victory with a 3-yard touchdown by Mecole Hardman.  (Side note: Hardman’s full name is Carey Mecole Hardman Jr). GAME STATISTICS: CHIEFS: Total Yards (455), Passing Yards (325), Rushing Yards (130), Turnovers (2). 49ers: Total Yards (382), Passing Yards (272), Rushing Yards (110), Turnovers (2). The 49ers sought revenge after their 2020 Super Bowl loss to the CHIEFS, while the CHIEFS aimed for their third title in five years. In the end, it was the CHIEFS who emerged victorious, solidifying their dynasty status. The SUPER BOWL LVIII was a battle for the ages, and football fans everywhere were treated to an unforgettable spectacle. 🏈 Artie Fschal [adrotate group=”1″]\ Views: 120
