Jim wrote: "I'm will be in as soon as I remember my password."Ha! I went through that, too. I haven't used my Yahoo! account for five or six years -- since the last time I was in a Fantasy Football league.
Thanks for the invite Ms P., but I know squat about football.
How does the confidence point thing work? 16 is our most confident and 1 is our least confident or vice versa?
You want to accumulate points, so give your "lock of the week" sixteen points.
sorry guys, long day at work. so just what Charly and Phil said. You pick all your winners and then assign a point value based on how confident you are. The first couple few weeks there will be 16 games, so assign a point value from 1-16 to each game. On the bye weeks, there may only be 13 or 14 picks. Yahoo will keep track of our points on out TC GRIDIRON home page. You can check totals in real time while watching and compare your scores with other players. It just makes game day more fun. We are playing for bragging rights and I will probably come up with some cheezy award for the 1st place winner. You all feel free to make bets among yourselves if you so desire. ;) Also get creative with your game name... I am Hopeless Homer. Also, I set the parameters to drop your lowest scoring week. So, if you are on vaca or something comes up and you miss a week your still good. From playing this at work, I have found people are pretty competitive and rarely miss a week, but just in case. Carry on, gentlemen. P.S. LADIES... THIS REALLY IS FUN and you don't have to be a football expert to play! Join in!
I'll sign up. If you don't hear from me by the end of the week, bug me about this.
The first game is tomorrow! You still have time to sign up and have until 5 minutes before tomorrow's game to enter your picks. Have Fun! :)
Did mine last night....first week should be real interesting! :)

May we assume "Hopeless Homer" will be giving 16 points to Denver every week?
nope that went to GB this week. Someone told me a long time ago, don't bet with your heart.
FYI: if you go to our TC Gridiron page and click on Group Picks you can see what everyone put on the games. This is visible once the game starts... have fun everyone :)
Dumb question maybe but how come we can't pick the Broncos/Raiders game?
Phil and Raider both still have their 16 pt pick... nice job. got you right where I want you... :)
phil did a good job picking this week. still don't understand the confidence points but if i don't make the right picks it doesn't matter anyway :)
Never underestimate luck. I got Buffalo correct because my FIL had his TV on while I was at the computer (actually, he never turns his TV off) and an ESPN host I respect said he couldn't understand all the fuss about KC. He was picking Buffalo to win outright.
I learned you actually have to pick games to get points :)
that was ugly last night... Bronco Nation is going to feel the effects of Josh McDaniels for a while... wish we still had Peyton Hillis and that Tebow was playing. Orton is awful in the red zone. 1st Broncos home opener loss since 2000.
You made Oakland look pretty decent, despite all the penalties they had.Janikowski is a beast of a kicker.

Grandpa (Polish himself) called Janikowski, "another dumb Polack with a big foot." He enjoyed the kick -- it happened just before G-Pa passed out in his recliner.
lol @ grandpa! Altitude or not, he does have a big leg.
I'm calling the first week total luck Phil! I usually suck at these also!
i actually have a decision between the colts and the browns this week. [singing "it's the end of the world as we know it..."]
For what it's worth, I think I'm going with the Colts. After all, Cleveland was bad enough to lose to Cincinnati at home. The Colts are well coached and have now had more reps with their new QB. Their loss was to a very strong team.I saw a fantasy site that said Colt McCoy will throw for 3 TDs and Hillis will run for 2. I think that guy either has them on his team, or is just full of shit.
Just my opinion, of course, and I may change my mind by game day.
i might too. with collins still staggering around in the backfield, our running game being well....our running game and now gary brackett out for sunday (he is the heart of the D) plus caldwell still coaching i may just pick against my team. *gasp*
made my picks. read em and weep SUCKA's(btw - i didn't look at NFL lines prior to making the picks but i really seemed to go with favs based on gut instinct alone)
I had a hard time making my picks this week, but hopefully I get more right than wrong.
The Vikings are a slight favorite at home and in the home opener so there isn't much confidence in the team. Stop Adrian Peterson and they have no long threat. I picked TB but I'm close to the bottom of the standings!
Carolina is looking good in the first half, as well.
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the half time score of the Oakland game. After what Buffalo did to KC, maybe yer right Petra....maybe KC is going to be bad this year.
Yep....with the Black & Silver,should have known the pleasant surprise wouldn't last. Meltdown in the second half, out scored 32-14...
yes, Lee. I guess that is why I shouldn't comment before the game is over. :)

We will pick the winners of each game each week. We will also use confidence points. Don't be intimidated by this because all it is, for those of you unfamiliar, is assigning a point value to each game based on how sure you are of your pick. So if there are 16 games, each game gets a point value 1-16. You accumulate points for each game you pick correctly over the entire season.
It is really fun people! Let's watch some FOOTBALL!
