we had one week before last against cleveland... it was awesome... we been pullin it off at the last minute the last 3 games


I know...I've been winning money this season thanks to your team! Just couldn't bet on them this week though - because Houston is a tough team (if/when they play up to their abilities that is...)

Will be a fun game to watch!

:wink:

Houston@Cincinnati - Houston 5 points

Detroit@Green Bay - Green Bay 10 points

Cleveland@Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh 6 points

Kansas City@Washington - Washington 8 points

Carolina@Tamap Bay - Tampa Bay 1 point

New York Giants@New Orleans - New Orleans 2 points

St. Louis@Jacksonville - Jacksonville 11 points

Baltimore@Minnesota - Minnesota 14 points

Arizona@Seattle - Seattle 3 points

Philadelphia@Oakland - Philadelphia 12 points

Buffalo@New York Jets - Jets 9 points

Tennessee@New England - New England 13 points

Chicago@Atlanta - Atlanta 7 points

Denver@San Diego - San Diego 4 points


Will be making my money parlay bets later today; will post those then.

Let me know what you think!
:wink:
Dawn


I generally agree with you except in these 4 games:

(1) I think Cincinnati will win their game.

(2) I don't think Minnesota can cover the points. I think they will win in a closer game.

(3) New England can't cover the points. This should be a close game with the Patriots winning.

(4) I think Denver will win their game.



Diligent ... the "points" Dawn put after the games have nothing to do with the spreads. If you'll notice, all the numbers 1 through 14 are used, with no duplications. These are "confidence points". When you pick games this way, you assign the highest number (in this case, 14) to the game in which you have the most confidence in your pick, then the next highest number, etc., etc. It's obvious Dawn is a Vikings fan, since she put 14 points on the Vikes against a very good Ravens team. High risk, high reward type of play. [Yes, Dawn, I know the game is in the Metrodome, but still ... :wink: ] I don't usually put my team as high as I have the last couple of weeks, simply because I've learned not to pick with my heart, but with who the Eagles played last week and who they play this weekend, it's difficult not to put a lot of weight on those games.

What type of a sophomoric system uses "confidence points" instead of the Vegas line!? It is irrelevant how one "feels" about a team or their natural predispositions towards certain franchises. What does matter is what odds or point spread someone is willing to grant you.

Oh, yes, the betting line is SOOOOOOOOOO relevant to real life. I don't put money on games, so I really don't give a rip what the point spread is ... and since that's the only thing a betting line is really good for, that makes it just as superfluous to me as the confidence points are to you. Good day ...

I asked you what "type of a system" uses "confidence points"? I take it that is not even a real methodology but a subjective "feeling". The Vegas line deals with sporting endeavors and the probability of a given outcome based upon a variety of factors; many of these factors are "tangible". No one makes the claim that the Vegas line is a vital component of our society. But, wagers are prevalent in society. Just look at the various State lotteries. That is pure mathematical probability and random chance.

No problem at all, Lewis ... I'm very glad someone took my explanation as a positive. :angel:

The points after the game are just a fun way of making picking the games more interesting...have been betting in office/family pools that way for many years...

I did put a post stating which teams I am betting on -- and that does use the point system most are used to.

& Anonimoose - I put 14 on Minnesota because I do have much confidence in them this season...most seasons I keep them around 5 or 6 (which is where I put Houston this season...) Until they show me different, have a really bad week, etc...they will stay in the top spot for me. I learned years ago to not bet with my heart...well, not real money bets anyway! :wink:

We'll see what happens tomorrow!
