I noticed that too. Part of the issue is when I start falling behind, I try to make up for it by applying higher confidence points to underdogs. The thinking behind that is that if I hit on the underdogs, I'll get more points because most everyone else will have picked the favorite in those games. Apparently, I need to rethink that strategy.Crocaneers wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 10:05 amThat's what I like about the confidence, it's not just the games, but your ability to adjust to how you think
Example : You and Pete have the same record, and Pete is drumming you in points. If you see @PetePierson in NeverNeverLand, let him know I said Hey

Re: 2021 NFL Pick Em Confidence
Looks like I've jumped up two spots in the rankings. Not bad for missing the first two weeks.

Well done sir !
5 points separate @acmillis and @IronDog for the yearly win and we have the playoffs left.

@acmillis is just stringing me along. Just being a little more subtle this time around.

You're right .. It's not been this close .. picking this week is difficult since some teams are sitting starters, etc ..wmgravytrain wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 7:50 pm I don’t remember it being this tight at the top the last couple of years.

Re: 2021 NFL Pick Em Confidence
Last week of the NFL was a pretty incredible rocky rough road
Scat Pack won the week (by 10).
The Yearly totals are pretty interesting and the playoffs will be interesting. @wmgravytrain Has a decent 17 point lead, and then it breaks down to what happens for 2nd, 3rd, 4th.
Hold on fella's ... gonna be fun
1 wmgravytrain 1489 172-86
2 Rocket City 1472 169-89
3 acmillis 1472 162-96
4 Scat Pack 1427 159-99
5 Crocaneers 1424 165-93
6 Mooz-zooM 1421 165-93

Will this really happen? Three years in a row?
I need to start picking against the spread in a state that allows sport gambling…

Re: 2021 NFL Pick Em Confidence
I've jumped to #10 after starting in last because I came in two weeks late. If I can make it into the top half of the group come the end of all this, it was a successful season.

Did acmillis not apply points???
If I win this and so does Cinci, it’ll come with an asterisk…

I thought I did. I was trying to guess who you picked...and pick the opposite just so I'd have a chance. Looks like I guessed right...and wrong if that makes sense.wmgravytrain wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 9:28 pm Did acmillis not apply points???
