Apparently the LIONS ate their Thanksgiving Dinner before the game. 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.

49’ERS: QB, Brock Purdy to enter concussion protocol. Unless Purdy can turn this around before Sunday; the Bengals will likely face Sam Darnold, who has attempted just one pass this year. Very Interesting, very interesting. BUT will that happen? AFTER last weeks showing, or no show. I should have let my cat TIGGERR do the picks this week. But she was either taking a nap or pretending to take a nap, (except between 01:30-03:30). So I had to do the picks on my own. Another week like last week, I may have to get up between 01:30 and 03:30 to do the picks. COLTS: Owner Jim Irsay said QB, Anthony Richardson’s surgery was successful.

Browns: Beat Colts after 4 BAD calls on Colts really late in the game 1.Apparently a forward shovel pass is now ruled a lateral pass and is not subject to the usual fumble rule or interception rule. 2. A pass that is out of the back of the end zone is catchable pass. 3. According to the Refs if on a TD drive if you get the Ball to the white goal line but not over it is a TD. This one I don’t know the rule. 4. If your hand slides ever so slightly on the receiver with out causing any alteration to the receivers stride or anything THAT is now PASS INTERFERNCE!!! Football is not football any more. Give me the times when players like Dick Butkus was playing. I remember him saying, “I don’t want to hurt anybody. I just want to see their heads rolling down the field” Whether that was in jest or not I do not know. But that is the way he played. NO! Football isn’t football any more. Seems to me NFL football is rapidly becoming more of a “Flag Football game.” Seems their exhuberance to make the game more safe. Has degutted the game. I am getting to dislike the game more each week. It is getting closer to the times of the NBA strike. In order to attract an audience they chose people like Michael Jordan, (a good player), SEEM, to be exceptional by allowing him to break all the rules. And allowing an “iNDEFENDABLE SHOT” . There is an extended line above the goal in which if your hand enters it is “GOAL TENDING”, NOW it is legal for the offensive player to enter this area to “DUNK” a ball and score. HOWEVER if a defenders hand is in that extended circle. It is called as “GOAL TENDING’ and the offensive team is awarded 2 points whether it goes in or not. Like I said there is no way to defend against it. Considering many of today’s players can touch the rim without even jumping. I fail to see the excitement in watching this act. When the game began the average player was about 5 ft 8 in. Putting the rim over 4 ft above their head. Sure you had some players taller. But if capable of “dunking” , they didn’t because that would be GOAL TENDING. I think it is way past time to raise the goal, by the same amount as the average player of today. 12 foot goals, I think are both unreasonable. While on the subject. Many rules need to be enforced. Nearly all players “palm the ball today, and then the announcers talk about how much control the players have while dribbling. Of course you can control the ball better when you can carry the ball. Basketball used to be a “NON CONTACT SPORT”. Now you have more contact than is allowed in FOOTBALL. The MLB is just as guilty after the big STRIKE. (which is when I quit watching MLB. I used to watch the CUBS play everyday, (before the lights), and the Braves every night. But to get the crowd back they “unofficially’ sanctioned the use of PED (Performance Enhancing Drugs), To produce super sluggers chasing Maris’ season home run record. The only reason was to entice people to watch the game. I have watched 1, one game of MLB since then. That was because my Cubs were playing my son’s Braves and it was a birthday present. Now College basketball is a professional game. Not only do the athletes get a “FREE EDUCATION’ I and most students today PAY for. The Athlete gets endorsements too. If they are very good it could make them a millionaire before they graduate. I remember the story of a “a student athlete basketball player in the movie HOOSIERS, lost his elgibility for ACTING as a basketball player in the movie. Bah !! Humbug!! to professional and college sports. I still like Australian football and Rugby. But do not get to see that often. I enjoy Rally Car Racing, which is really hard to find on TV. NOW I enjoy watching the little ones play. They play, have fun. Go home. I have to admit there are some bad coaches, players with attitude, and some of the umpires who have no idea what the rules are. Of course there are different rules according to what area you are in. I have no problem with this as long as the rules are applied equally. O.L.Thymer agrees. He said it is more fun watching his great grandchildren play. He will travel nearly 100 miles one way, sometimes 1 day, sometimes 2 days, sometimes 3 days (for the travel team games), to watch them play, other days they may play as close as 30 miles away each way. Believe me. I’ve seen him do this 2-3 weeks in a row. But now that he is having a little more trouble driving at night he may leave before a game is finished. RANT OVER. For now. SORRY for turning this Football based talk into non football opinions. But the idea behind starting fromthemiddleblog.com was to air my opinions. And maybe what I said here should have been a separate post. But I think it is all tied in. COLTS: Owner, Jim Irsay states, QB Anthony Richardson will “probably” miss rest of season, (a damaged AC joint to his shoulder), after last Sunday’s game against Titans.

NFL CONFIDENCE PICKS WEEK 5 10/05-08-09/23
What a terrible week !!! (For me. Teams are STILL settling in). If this continues we are in for a thrilling roller coaster ride this season. COLTS: Rookie QB Anthony Richardson, looking toward a month off PENDING, a Monday Morning MRI for a Grade 3, AC joint sprain. Currently it appears the Colts has successfully drafted another injury prone QB? 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.

MY GAMES TO WATCH: Who may lose their first game of the year. DOLPHINS 3-0. Can the 2-1 BILLS end the win streak. Will the 2-1 COMMANDERS knock off the unbeaten 3-0 EAGLES. What if the 1-2 CARDINALS go on a tear and upset the 3-0 49’ERS? On the flip side we have four teams tied with ZERO wins, and it just happens the four teams face off against each other, (sort of), VIKINGS 0-3 will invade the home of the 0-3 PANTHERS. The 0-3 BRONCOS travel to Chicago to face the 0-3 BEARS. We definitely will only have two winless teams after this week end.

GIANTS: Have biggest comeback since 1949. Starting the season with a 40-0 loss against the Cowboys last week, the Giants managed to extend that scoreless streak to 60 points before they scored against the Cardinals. According to NFL RedZone, the last team to get outscored at least 60-0 to start a season was the 1978 Baltimore Colts, who were outscored 80-0 in the first two games of their season. Avoiding an 0-2 start The Giants trailed by 21, and had not come back to win after trailing by 20 or more since Nov. 19, 1950 vs. the Baltimore Colts, according to Fox Sports. They hadn’t come back from 21 down since 1949, when they did it against the Chicago Cardinals. JETS: QB Aaron Rodgers out for rest of season with TORN ACHILLES. (We will wait and see).
