    I used to be really good at it back when I actually followed the league, but the Niners started sucking ass and Fox decided that the Seagulls were more important than the Niners in Portland, so the only answer was get Direct TV or go to the sports bar.... I chose neither.

    But Fox is still favoring the Gulls, which means no Niners unless I drive to the sports bar :(

    I go to the bar every sunday to watch every game going. It's worth it. I could sit home and watch the Hawks, but my interests in NFL range way beyond our "local" team.

    Man, things aren't lookin good on some of my games. Indy is losing to Houston, Chicago is losing, and Denver is losing......... Chicago couldn't score with a first and goal.... four goal line stops by Detroit. Sad.

    I thought it was pretty straight forward.... Pick your sixteen games. Then based on how confident you are about each pick, you give each game confidence points. Think of it as if you're betting those points on the outcome. So if you were extremely confident that the Saints were going to beat Minny, you'd use your (16) on that game. If you were right, and NO wins, you get those sixteen points. The next game that you're most confident in, say San Diego and KC, you'd give (15) points to, and so on and so on.

    No I got that part, I just couldn't figure out the "other" points that rank everyone's performance within the league. For instance MGB had something like 45 points generated off of his wins and losses and the confidence he had in them, but had 10 league points whereas I had something like 82 at one point but only 2 within the "league"

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, I don't get that. I'm 5th in total points, but something like 7th in league points.
