Here is another example as I am going to use week 2 preseason and act as if I picked them before they played. I am just going to go down the way they were listed on nfl.com and going to highlight the games I would have won.
Patriots vs Eagles - (Patriots 16 points) Bengals vs Football Team - (Bengals 15 points) Chiefs vs Cardinals - (Cardinals 14 points) Bills vs Bears - (Bills 13 points) Jets vs Packers - (Packers 12 points) Ravens vs Panthers - (Ravens 11 points) Falcons vs Dolphins - (Dolphins 10 points) Titans vs Buccaneers - (Buccaneers 9 points) Lions vs Steelers - (Lions 8 points) Colts vs Vikings - (Vikings 7 points) Texans vs Cowboys - (Cowboys 6 points) Raiders vs Rams - (Rams 5 points) Broncos vs Seahawks - (Seahawks 4 points) Giants vs Browns - (Browns 3 points) 49ers vs Chargers - (Chargers 2 points) Jaguars vs Saints - (Saints 1 point)
Total - 54 Points (remember you only get the confidence points from the teams you selected to win and according to the points you assign to the team that wins - Only 1 number assigned per game no duplicates allowed.)

Just to let you know, I am mulling it over. I'm just a little hesitant making a multi month commitment. I did kind of miss it last year, but even the year that I did participate, there were a few weeks where it was more of a pain than a pleasure. Those weeks, I just chose without much thought. The other weeks I did enjoy it and gave it much more thought. Put me down as a maybe..... Edit: What's this about confidence points? Do you have a link that explains this better. That may or may not be a game breaker. Confidence points is you rank the games by number of games that week. Example Week 1 there are 16 games you rank the team you think has the most chance of winning with 16 all the way down to the team you think has the least chance of winning with 1 point. You can only assign a team a point value once another words Cardinals play Tennessee week 1 and you rank Cardinals with 15 points, Cowboys and Buccaneers also play in week 1 you can't assign 15 points to the Buccaneers you can only assign 1-14 or 16 to that team. You only get the points if your team you selected wins. Each week the points are accumulated and the chances of a tie or less likely under this system. If a team ties I am not sure if you get the points or not as I don't think you do. Hope this helps. First week it is just really a shot in the dark. So are you saying the game I'm most confident about will get me 16 points if they win and the game I'm least confident about will only get me 1 point if they win? I grant you, that's an interesting concept but now you have to make 2 choices for every game. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but you do have to put more thought into it. The one thing I do like about it, any choice you make may be more important the the other guys choice ( even if its the same ) depending on the other guys choice of confidence. I'm still thinking about it but I have better idea what I might be getting into....now I don't only have to worry whether to chose my Cards or not, but show my confidence....it might be fun......lol

Sometimes we put too much thought into it. I think some of the best fantasy players are the ones that didn't have a clue what they were doing and just threw caution to the wind. LOL

We are stuck on seven. Would like to get a minimum of 3 more in there. It is a lot of fun and although competitive it is all for just fun. Don't worry if you don't know how to play or just think you flat out suck because you are probably better than you think you are. Last season it was pretty close throughout the season. I think this season will be the same and with the confidence points you could suck one week and be near perfect the next week and gain a lot of ground on the leader if not overtake them because they had a bad week. Where are: Rimrockcardinalsins@sillysoft cbltvRedbirdfan62End ZoneOahuCardsFansmktlk (Gotta defend your Season 3 title) Native AzjeffcardinalfanCome on thomas cat as I noticed in Season 2 you were the winner after the first week with 12 picked correctly. Join us for Season 4 as you know how to play or at least threw darts in the dark at the correct teams. LOL

Drachir , Okay I signed up. I just happened to visit here tonight after Ida made landfall. Lucky for you I did. I watched the 1st Card preseason game cause NFL network had it on. But totally forgot about week 2 and the Chiefs. Oh and DirecTv sent me an EM. They are giving Sunday Ticket to me free this season. I had told them I would not be renewing ST after 22 years of paying regular season prices. And that I was not happy with the NFL's wokeness and pushing that mandate on players, Coaches, and staff.

Great to have you there. Forgot to mention you needed to reclaim your title from Season 2.

You need to play because I want to kick your butt!!!!! Seriously man it's not that hard. You pick the team you think is going to win just like every year previously. The next thing you do is look at each matchup and the team you're most confident in beating the other team you scroll to 16 and make that your most confident pick number 16. Then you go down from there. 16 all the way down to 1. Quite frankly after about half of them it's just a freaking guess anyways and I just gave them a number who cares. I just made it easy. Anyways it wouldn't be the same if you didn't play. So just pick a freaking winner and give it a number and let's do this thing.

This and the fact that if you hate skinny jeans that much just pick against him and give 16 confident points to the opponent. You cards hater you. 😂
