NFL Confidence Picks, Week 12 11/26-29-30/2015

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !!!!!

Sorry for the schedule mix up.  I guess I need to recheck each week for schedule changes.  The schedule you saw last week was as it was BEFORE the season started.  That is when I  print the schedule.   They do have a warning saying something about a flex schedule, which means they can change it.  (I suppose). BY the way I did check for schedule changes this week.

I am not too proud of last weeks results…..but at least it was an improvement from the previous week.  I missed some important information, PLAYERS, had returned which I hadn’t expected and not accounted for so it was my sloppiness that probably led to the poor picks.

This past week we had some near overtime games, HOWEVER, they were marginally averted.

 We saw the COLTS and FALCONS, RAMS, and RAVENS, and BENGALS, and CARDINALS, separated by a field goal.   The rest of the games were pretty lopsided.

 

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 WEDNESDAY this week.  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:  NONE
