Confidence Picks - Week 1

[J_Heater]

That time of year again. No point spreads in this one. This format you have 20 games. You have 1-20 points to put on the 20 games listed below. You can only use each number once. The number 20 would be for the game you have the most confidence in and obviously the number 1 would be reserved the for the game you aren't so confident in. Hope that makes sense. Obviously you want to get the most points you can. A top score would be 210 Points.The last 2 years I have offered up a Rites of Autumn book for the end of year winner but nobody seems to care. SO this is for nothing other than enjoyment. You can brag I guess.

Ya it makes it easier for me. But as long as the numbers matchup and it's obvious who you pick I can figure it out. But going forward that would be awesome.

You are less confident about ISU over UNI than all other 19 games?

I assume you do not understand how the games are scored. I really do not know if the clowns can win this game, therefor if the Panthers win I only lose 1 point. Do you understand now?
By the way what difference does it make to you how I rank the games?

no, I understand. Out of 20 games, you are least confident about ISU beating an FCS team. That is your opinion, and that is fine. But I don't really believe that you believe that. I'm saying you are a homer, and when you gamble in sports as a homer, you don't usually do so well.

Dude I can't believe that your a freaking moron. Now just because I have isu at the 1 spot I am a homer. How in the hell do know what I think to believe or not to believe in my mind.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!!!!!
So great guru of the gambling world please enlighten me with your picks. I would love to have you impress me with you infinite wisdom
What I personally do believe to be true is that you sir usually fail in life.

Bump

 

[J_Heater]

Don't quit your day job

BUMP! I just wanted to bump this to make it easier to do scores after Monday's game and this post seems like a pretty good one to bump.

How's your day job? FYI Jonesingforhawks is whipping your tail in this contest and he seems to be right on the money with his less than confident in ISU pick.

Have a good night. .

 

[J_Heater]

1. isu

Nice pick. Not sure what your day job is but nice pick regardless. It seems you understood the rules just like the rest of us knew you did.

 

[Jonesingforhawkeyes]

Nice pick. Not sure what your day job is but nice pick regardless. It seems you understood the rules just like the rest of us knew you did.

I definitely understand it was better to lose 1 point then 17 heat_dawg.
What do you guy's think? Maybe Mr. linkshero needs to make a career change. It's obvious to me that he does not know how to pick with confidence. Good try though. NOT!!!!!

 

[J_Heater]

Week 1 results

Great opening week of college football. Next week is a bad week but should have some high scores as There may be up to 10 double digit favorite games on the menu. Just not a lot of close lines this coming week.

Gridiron, I did the best I could with yours. On numbers you got and missed you got the lowest number possible and missed the highest number possible. I have to keep it fair. You can only use one number once. Looks like somebody tried to tell you last week as well.

Meatloaf55 with the win with "don't quit your day job" Jonesingforhawks coming in 2nd. Everybody re-check your scores as the season goes on. I usually double check but don't want to miss one. For example I had myself with 17 points more before I re-checked. I don't why I wrote Missouri at 17 when I meant West Virginia. Oh well, fair is fair.
