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. The confidence points definitely changes everything. I correctly picked 10 games. Under the old rules that would have tied me for first.....still that's not the worst of it. One person chose 9 games correctly, yet he is tied for second to last. There are people that only picked 8 correctly yet have more points....one of them in second place.....( I'm not naming names....lol ) As you correctly pointed out. If you only picked 8 games correctly but assigned them the highest possible confidence points, you would have comfortable lead with 100 points. Picking upsets correctly was always a powerful move, but now it can be huge if you assign it with a high confidence score. It could be as much as 32 point swing. Granted, its dangerous but when it comes to gambling, its not for the faint of heart....lol. I'm just glad I don't gamble with real money. No harm no foul with this game.....

Anyone watching the game....its a pretty good one. The Giants lead with 5 minutes to go but could still go either way. Still I'm starting to regret not making a last second change in my pick tonight.....
.....wait....strike that, Washington just took the lead.

Unbelievable...Last play of the game. WFT tries a field goal for the win and misses....but there is more...Giants were offside. 5 yards closer and now this kick was good. Hell of an ending.

You and FLCF came within a whisker of jumping ahead of us all. I mentioned earlier, I almost made a last minute change. I would be feeling as bad as you are if I had done that. As I have brought up before. Normally, I would not care two hoots about this game but this gives me a reason to watch and enjoy. The way it played out was almost as enjoyable as watching my Cards win a close one. One other thing. If I am interpreting the group picks correctly, Native AZ is either not aware or just forgot to assign confidence points. Lets make sure he is aware of this.

13 point game for me. I thought Washington was going to win handedly. Pretty lucky 13 points but it really doesn't matter it's 13 points and I needed it. Now I will see what happens next.

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.) Native Az in this pick’em there is a huge change as you have to rank them from the number of games by level of confidence you have in that team to win and you can only use a number per game like the example above. A little twist but fun indeed.

Native Az just a friendly reminder you still have 2 games you haven't selected a winner on and not sure if you have ranked them in this case I would rank from 2-16 with 16 being the most confident you have in that team winning. San Francisco vs Philadelphia and Denver vs Jacksonville games as anyone can see who has picks in and who doesn't you can't see who you selected or confidence points until the games are being played.

I made my remaining picks early this morning. Every time I tune into the NFL network or ESPN, I hear something that wants me to change my mind.....I'm not gonna do it.
I guess I will see if that's smart or not.....lol.
Good luck to to all....

Usually works for the better.

Ok I'm not talking I'm so great talk I got a lot of luck. The point is with the confidence points the fact that I ended up rooting for a pick I chose to win to lose because it was more beneficial in confidence points is another layer to this madness which makes it a lot of fun.
