This week we saw 2 OT games. I separated by a mere point, and 5 by a field goal; or less. My week was a wash out, only getting 61% of the games correct. However we did get a good opportunity to compare the two scoring options. With the POSITIVE system I scored a mere 52 points. But if you notice with the POSITIVE/NEGATIVE system I only scored 9 points. In conclusion I must say the POSITIVE/NEGATIVE system seems to be a really more competitive system. Which do you prefer? For those 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. I had some requests from the people who copy and paste, for their own pool to move the network out of the score column. I aim to please. So I hope this is better GOOD LUCK TO ALL. BYE WEEK: Atl.

NFL Confidence Picks, Week 9 11/05-08-09/2015
Last week summary: I missed 3 games. I scored 86% of points under the positive only system, BUT; only 64% under the plus minus scoring system. which means I missed some of my high picks. (Actually only one High pick, and it was a surprise to me. HOWEVER; it was an overtime game. HOW did the Falcons, allow the Buccaneers, to stay close enough to to even put it in overtime). By the way the Colts lost in OT to the Panthers. That makes 2 OT games. Is it just me or are we really having more OT games this year? We saw 4 games with a mere FG as the difference. ONE of them with a combined 101 points, (the Giants with 49 and the Saints with 52). Kind of seems like both teams’ defense had the day off. ONE game, the Seahawks, Cowboys game was so close just 1 point separated them at the final whistle. For those of you who do not know how confidence ranking goes, let me explain.

NFL Confidence Picks, Week 8 10/29 11-01-02/2015
Only 3 games ended with a 3 point or less score. Washington Redskins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a the only game with a mere point separating them. Although not perfect I will accept a week with 79% correct picks, and 80% of the total points available, as a pretty good week. How does that compare with your picks.

NFL Confidence Picks, Week 7 10/22-25-26/2015
I had a really bad week, missing 6 games. We saw only 2 exciting games, both going into OT. The Bears and the Lions; and Broncos and Browns. Bear Vs Lions wasn’t too much of a surprise. Broncos and Browns was a big SURPRISE. We saw teams fall apart and lose big LEADS. The Seahawks once again blew a big lead. Hopefully they get their game back soon. There were some games which ended closer than they appeared during the course of the game. Seems some teams are getting a little overconfident when they have a good lead, meanwhile the other team is creeping up on them. Hopefully I will see a better week, and WE all get to see better games. One thing I have noticed over some period of time. “IF MY TEAM WINS, IT IS A GOOD GAME”.

NFL Confidence Picks, Week 6 10/15-18-19/2015
An EXCITING week. 3 OVERTIME GAMES. 2 GAMES DECIDED BY ONE POINT. And 1 game by a field goal. As for my week kind of mediocre. Some would consider it good, in that I only missed 3 games.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 4: 10/01-04-05/2015
REMEMBER: EARLY GAME SUNDAY 9:30 am SUNDAY! We got to see a little better glimpse to the what the season may hold. There were a lot of key injuries, this week. For the most part we will have to see how long these key players are out. We know Big Ben Roethlisberger is expected to be out for 4 to 6 weeks. The question here is does does Michael Vick still have enough left in his tank to keep the the Steelers on the winning track. For Seattle will Marshawn Lynch heal enough to his old effective running self. On another note: We saw the Colts punter, Pat McAffee, turn a bad snap into a credible scurry for first down. It appeared he could have run the ball in for a TD. However; not a role he is used to playing, he perhaps, failed to see that opportunity. (Or maybe he just ran out of gas). But, now is the seed planted for a planned play like this to come about? As for my week’s picks I missed 25% of the games. THAT SUCKS. But now I guess it leaves me room for improvement. Did any of you do any better? Either Point wise, or Percentage wise? For those 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.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 3: 9/24-27-28/2015
What pitiful week I had. Just proves why they play the games. I used the numbers, and look at my poor score. Had I went with my gut instinct, I would have had only a slightly better week. Oh well, this is just for fun. (YEAH RIGHT) I hope you all did better. Of course if you are also playing a yearly pool….a week like this can really take a toll. It will take a lot of good weeks to make up for this one. But this last week does emphasize the difference in the two scoring system. With the +/– scoring system I only scored 12 points. Good luck this week. For those 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.

NFL Confidence Picks, Week 2 9/17-20-21/2015
I was pleased with my picks, this week. The first week is usually the hardest. It is the first time we actually see the teams play. Several star players were injured; some will miss multiple games, some were merely out for the remainder of the game. We saw the great Marshawn Lynch. stopped in a crucial play. The Giants coach lose track of opponents downs, and tell his team not to score. An apparent misunderstanding between the kicker, and coach in an OT situation. But all in all a pretty interesting week. With the headset controversy at the Patriots, game…..Well let me say it is getting hard to not to put the team from New England as the N.E. CHEATERS. After all we know, that must be in their NFL contract, a special clause. New England can do whatever they want. No harm will come to them.

NFL Playoff Wild Card Confidence Picks Week 1 Jan.3-4,2015
I must say I was somewhat surprised by my own results this week. Just in: Buffalo Bills coach DOUG MARRONE has opted out of his contract. The out clause was activated by he sale of the team. Could a short hop to the N.Y. Jets be in order? Now we are at the CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. “SUPER BOWL”. Last weeks HIGHLIGHTS: Houston’s J.J. Watt, became the only 2 time player to record 20 sacks in a season. To top it off his 20th sack also scored a SAFETY. Tampa Bay Buccaneers “won” the first pick for next years draft. Both Tennessee Titans, and Tampa Bay tied with a 2-14 record. HOWEVER the tie breaker ( whichever team whose opponents had the lowest winning percentage) favored the Bucs. Miami Dolphins Lamar Miller carried the ball from the 3 yd. line for a 97 yard TD. and cap 1000 yard season. Longest run was in 1983 when Cowboy TONY DORSETT, ran 99 yds. Following Dorsett is Green Bay Packers’ RB Ahman Green. Green ran a 98 yd. TD in 2003. In 1939 Packer Andy Urham also ran a 97 yd. TD. As of this writing, we know of 4 coaches who have been relieved of duty. First is the Jets’ Rex Ryan. Ryan has not finished above 500 the last 4 seasons. Will he land at Chicago? Atlanta Coach Mike Smith is looking for another job. Smith went 10-22 the last 2 seasons, and was 1-4 in post season. Chicago Bears’ Coach Marc Trestman, with a 5-11 season is out. So is Bears’ GM Phil Emery. I think this is a much needed move. I think, there should be more releases up the ladder. Jay Cutler took the blame much of the season for the Bears poor performance. However in all the games I watched the ENTIRE TEAM, Seemed somewhat amiss. I saw no real heart in their actions on the field. I’m not saying Cutler is the caliber player he is being paid as…. BUT I would most likely give him another year under new leadership. Then we come to San Francisco 49’ers. Will they be able to replace Jim Harbaugh. Probably not. But, the way I see it. Winning is secondary to 49’ers management. Much like the Indianapolis Colts when Jim Irsay took over. Irsay wanted to tell the coaches who to play what plays to run, etc. etc. It wasn’t until he learned to trust his coaching staff that the Colts started to do any good. I believe San Francisco’s management staff have yet to learn that lesson. AND we all know JIM HARBAUGH is no YES MAN! GOOD LUCK AT MICHIGAN COACH HARBAUGH. One last note. WHAT TEAM FINISHED THE SEASON WITHOUT A TD BY A WR? ….Kansas City Chiefs. Of course.

I will show my correct points in Bold This year I am making a change in the scoring. YOU can adopt the new scoring or continue to use the old scoring. This year we get a negative score for missed games. We will continue to get a positive score for correct predictions. EXAMPLE: LAST YEAR if you scored 1 pt on the first game and you had 15 pt on the second game and was wrong you would still have a Positive 1. HOWEVER. this year the same scenario would result with a -14 score. I will fill in my picks Friday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use.
