CHIEFS QB Patrick Mahomes TIES * NFL record Sunday against the Dolphins. (Tie is with Cardinals’ Stoney Case for a 30-yard loss in 1997). Mahomes. The tied record was a 30 yd loss via SACK. On 3rd and 12 on the Chiefs own 33 yd line, Mahomes was chased back to their own 3 yd line to be sacked by Jerome Baker. He also doubled his season interceptions. The second INT doubled his season INTs. He went on for a 3rd INT.   * The 30 yd sack IS the BIGGEST LOSS in NFL history that didn’t nvolve a fumble or an intentional safety.  (It would seem to follow; Jerome Baker share a RECORD for LONGEST SACK) (?)

MARSHAWN LYNCH says he would return to NFL for only one reason. Another Super Bowl Ring. I was a huge fan of Lynch….until he turned his back on AMERICA, joining Colin Kapernick and his turncoats showing disrespect for the country which made them millionaires. I respect their rights to do the dispicable things they did. BUT I believe the action they took did more harm than good. They should have chosen some way to express their feelings with HONOR, not DISHONORING our USA. I could never support him, he has lost my respect. Â

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.
IF YOU SEE I MADE A MIS-COPY OF THE GAMES AND TIMES FEELÂ FREE TO EMAIL ME AND TELL ME I GOOFED.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
BYES:Â NONE
(All Times EST)Â
