DOLPHINS: Became the 1st team since 1966 to score 70 pts. They are the 4th team in NFL regular season history to reach 70 pts. Also the NFL record for yards is 735 yard in a game. The Dolphins had 726 yards, just 9 yards short of the record. They had the opportunity to gain more yards and possible score more points. HOWEVER, to avoid adding insult to injury to the Broncos. The Dolphins took a knee on the 4th down in the final minutes. It was a show of great sportsmanship on behalf of the Dolphins. It also had to be a hard decision. I think I would have tried that last down to either tie or break 2 NFL records.
BROWNS: RB Nick Chubb expected to miss rest of season with serious knee injury.
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 FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND TELL ME I GOOFED.
