Looks like we have 7 way tie going into the weekend.

This is a closer game than I would have thought. This has got me a thinking. If the Cowboys win, I said everyone would be tied but that's not quite true. The three that listed their confidence less than 16 will have a slight advantage going into the weekend. They did not burn their top confidence score. I'm not sure how or if this will change my ongoing strategy, but its something I need to think about. Do you assign your top confident score to a game that everyone thinks is a lock, or another game that others may have not chosen. I'm going to have to think about this....and so should you so you are as confused as I am....lol makes it more fun doesn’t it?

I got to admit, it does. Still and just like before, you got to pick the winners. Confidence points are worthless if your team losses.
One thing I kind of like about this, I can and will always choose my Cards....however my confidence score may be low or high depending on how the season goes.
Good luck to all, I'm looking forward to our fist weeks scores.......lol

Something I just realized. I picked KC to win and was therefore rooting for them. The thing is, I'll be better off if they lose. Everyone picked them but my confidence score is the lowest of them all. I will lose ground if they win, but if they lose, no one gets any points....
Go Browns!!!!

I love this confidence points method as I was in first by a lot than FLCardinalFan passed me up and than I passed him only to have belac44 pass both of us going into tonight's game and the Monday night game.

It looks like everyone went with the Rams. In this case there are two that should hope the Rams lose even though they picked them because of their low confidence score.
No doubt about it, the confidence score has thrown in a some new wrinkles. I don't know how or even if it can be exploited in someway. At least it gives us something to think about and things to watch as the games play out each week.

And that is with me going against my life blood team the Cards and giving Tenn 16. I figured if my team lost at least I would get points and I am willing to lose the points for a victory for me team all day long. Go Cards!!! They didnt sputter as bad as I was worried about and the D manned up and set the tone. LOVE IT! It only matters if they follow it up next week.

Man I thought about going against the grain and picking the Raiders tonight just didn’t have enough guts to pull the trigger. Wild Monday Night Game for sure and both West divisions are undefeated.

136 confident points available each week you get a 100 of those in eight picks.
This game isn't really about picking the most winners it's about getting those top eight right.
Definitely changes things you could have a losing record with picks and still win this whole thing.
I kind of like it it's different but definitely a different strategy.

Dang it missed on this. Life has been a rollercoaster these last months. You can still get in. Be surprised how you can catch up in this fast roller coaster confidence points type format. If nothing else just for the weekly winning announcements. Also unlike other years we play even in the playoffs. Although confidence points won't be that much when you have 4 games down to 2 games down to the Super Bowl. Just for fun anyways.
