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.

Super Bowl Fantasy: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs
This is how I image SUPER BOWL LIX playing out. (A rematch for the ages, featuring Jalen Hurts vs. Patrick Mahomes in a high-stakes showdown!) Pregame Hype & Build-Up The entire football world has been waiting for this rematch. The Eagles, after falling short in Super Bowl LVII MVP-caliber season, is ready to outduel Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs, the reigning dynasty, aim for their third straight Super Bowl win under Andy Reid. The stage is set in a packed Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. First Quarter: A Defensive Statement Kickoff: The Eagles win the toss and defer, giving Mahomes the first possession. The Chiefs’ opening drive starts at their own 25-yard line.

Play 3: On 3rd-and-2, Mahomes rolls out under pressure and fires to Travis Kelce for a 12-yard gain. Play 4: A jet sweep to Kadarius Toney gains 7 yards. Play 5: On 2nd-and-3, Chris Jones gets flagged for holding, setting the Chiefs back. Play 6: 3rd-and-8, Mahomes scrambles, dodges Haason Reddick, and launches deep to Marquez Valdes-Scantling—DROPPED! Play 7: The Chiefs punt. Eagles take over at their 30-yard line. Eagles’ First Drive: Hurts starts hot, connecting with DeVonta Smith for 18 yards. A screen to A.J. Brown picks up 9, followed by a 10-yard run from D’Andre Swift. Inside Chiefs territory, the Eagles go no-huddle. Hurts fakes a handoff and takes off for 17 yards. On 2nd-and-4, Hurts hits Dallas Goedert for a 14-yard touchdown! Eagles lead 7-0. Chiefs’ Response: Mahomes finds Kelce on a crossing route for 15 yards. Pacheco bursts up the middle for 11 yards. After a false start, Mahomes throws a screen to Jerick McKinnon, who breaks a tackle for 13 yards. 3rd-and-2, QB sneak—Mahomes converts at the Eagles’ 38. Eagles pressure forces an incompletion, setting up Harrison Butker for a 48-yard FG. Eagles 7, Chiefs 3. Second Quarter: Momentum Swings Eagles Drive Hurts takes a deep shot to Brown—BROKEN UP by L’Jarius Sneed! 3rd-and-6, Hurts finds Swift on a check-down, but Nick Bolton stops him short. PUNT. Chiefs take over at their 22. Chiefs Strike Back: Mahomes threads the needle to Kelce for 22 yards. Pacheco breaks a tackle and rumbles for 18 yards! Mahomes scrambles for 12 yards to the Eagles’ 25. 2nd-and-5, Mahomes play-action fake, hits Rice in the corner—TOUCHDOWN! Chiefs take the lead, 10-7. Eagles Respond: Hurts connects with Smith on a 21-yard deep out. Swift picks up 5, then another 6-yard push on a QB sneak. A rollout pass to Goedert gains 15 more.
