MY GAMES TO WATCH: Who may lose their first game of the year. DOLPHINS 3-0. Can the 2-1 BILLS end the win streak. Will the 2-1 COMMANDERS knock off the unbeaten 3-0 EAGLES. What if the 1-2 CARDINALS go on a tear and upset the 3-0 49’ERS?
On the flip side we have four teams tied with ZERO wins, and it just happens the four teams face off against each other, (sort of), VIKINGS 0-3 will invade the home of the 0-3 PANTHERS.  The 0-3 BRONCOS travel to Chicago to face the 0-3 BEARS.  We definitely will only have two winless teams after this week end. (Of course we could still end up with two ties) 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.
