As the leader in the club house, I should object, but what the heck. BTW, I think your math is already a little bit off. I get 272 total games, 3/4 of that is 204.

Oops.... you are correct, each team plays 17, I was stuck in the past using 16*16. Will edit.

I will do the total points and the new stat too.

Why not eliminate everyone else’s worst week at the end of the season?

[smuggler]

I picked the games last week, but forgot to go back and set the confidence points.

[wthigoot]

A few blanks left last night. Next games on Sunday.

[smuggler]

Week three, so it goes...
Picking underdogs that make me feel dirty: Dallas, Chicago
Picking underdogs that make me feel like a hero: Arizona (against Detroit)

[texaspackerbacker]

We could bump their score by 1/17th at the end. So if they score for instance 1500 points it would average 93.75 for a final score of 1593. Its for fun so if I have 1592 and its the actual best I'm still claiming victory though!!

The solution to changing the rules mid-stream is for the side of Good to SWAMP 'EM. Let not this be construed as the evil P word hahahaha.

Damnit these Thursday games used to always get me in Fantasy now choking on the picks.

I started filling out the first bracket the first week and then quit when I saw not only did I have to make picks, but then do confidence points and shit. Just seemed like too much work so didn't finish.
