NFL CONFIDENCE PICKS WEEK 18 01/06-07/ 2024

  LET THE FIRINGS BEGIN   PANTHERS:  Fire GM Scott Fitterer. FALCONS: Fire HC Arthur Smith after 3rd straight 7-10 season. COMMANDERS:  Fire HC Ron Rivera after 4 years at the helm. RAMS:   Nacua,  the 5th round, 177 pick, successfully set a new RECORD receiving 41 yards for a rookie season high 1,485 yards.  Not content with 1 Rookie record, Nacua added another by adding 1 more catch than Jaylen Waddle former record holder with 104 catches,  hauling in his 105 th catch.  Just for good measure he also scored a TD before being pulled, to insure no injury before going into the playoff.  NOW;  will be able to carry this streak thru the postseason Will you watch  RAMS  as 1st year receiver  Puka Nacua tries to break the  the single season record for ROOKIE receiving record. Set by OILER, Bill Gorman in 1960, at 1,473 yards.   Nacua is sitting at 1,445 yards.  However, he will attempt this without starting QB Matthew Stafford.  Against the 49’ers.  He needs a mere 29 yards.  Which appears to me he will get enough passes to assure he breaks the record.  Be it 1 pass or 50 passes.  Nacua is also tied with Anguan Boldin with 101 catches. Dolphin  Jaylen Waddle has held the record with 104 catches set in 2021. BIG GAMES TO WATCH:  RAVENS could either be seeded number 2 in AFC East….OR be completely out of the playoff picture.  THESE are the scenarios which could make this happen.  1. Steelees beat Ravens.  (RAVENS, have Number 1 seed clinched, an will most likely sit the starters).    2. JAGUARS Beat Titans. 3. Texans/Colts game does not end in a TIE. If all these happen and the BILLS beat the Dolphin.  THEN the Bills will have the AFC East title and the number 2 seed.   Thus the RAVENS. are out of the playoffs Confusing and probability  unlikely all these things come to pass.   Which number 1 seed has the tougher path to the Super Bowl ?  49’ER’S or RAVENS ?  What do you think?   49’ers,  RB Christian McCaffrey out final game of season with a mild calf strain.  SO WHAT?  Don’t get me wrong i don’t like for anyone to be hurt.  But in the Big scheme of things.  With the 49’ers having already clinched the number 1 seed;  he would probably sit out anyway.     This week will be tough to pick.   WHY?  It is that time of the season.   Will the teams which have already clinched a playoff berth,  REALLY their  starters, and risk injury, OR will they pull a stunt like the 2009 COLTS.  Going into the last regular season game with a 14-0 record.  AN UNDEFEATED REGULR SEASON.  BUT benched their starters the last game to end the season 14-1.  Yes strange things happen this time of the year.  Who knows.    49’ERS CLINCH NFC NUMBER 1 SEED !   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.

  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.

    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.
