We had a few odd things this past week. We saw a defensive player JUMP the gun and reach the QB. Before the SNAP.  We saw a Coach fumble his attempt to throw a red challenge flag. I am sure there are more that I didn’t see, or may have confused with college games. Like, I remember seeing a tipped (pass or FG) attempt landing in the hands of an offensive player for a TD. (Guess I need to take notes; and not just rely on my memory).
I forgot to mention “BEAST MODE”. Yes Lynch turned it on again. If you missed it, you wish you could have seen it. At the 5 yard line he is so mobbed by players it is a wonder he didn’t trip. But with the defense repelling him, and his team pushing, for all its worth, Lynch kept going across the goal line. FANTASTIC!
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 17 games. The team you are most confident will win you would assign the number 17 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
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 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 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 MIS COPY OF THE GAMES AND TIMES FEELÂ FREE TO EMAIL ME AND TELL ME I GOOFED.
