How can Seattle lose 2 games in 1 week?

I am confuzzled.


Do they sometimes play 2 games a week?

I'm confused about the 1-16. Does being closer to 1 mean that they'll have a high chance of losing, and 16 has the lowest chance of losing but will still lose?

It's st louis. I fixed it.

And we're obviously not familiar with Confidence Pools.


Here's how it works.


There's either 16 or 14 games every week. so you pick the teams you're going to win and assign points to each team. the team that you think is most likely to win is the team that you give the most amount of "confidence" to. After all the games are played, you add up all the points of your winners and the person with the highest total wins the week (I'm in a pool with 9 other people.)

The "all losers" comment was based on the fact that I'm awful at this.

Ah, so with the "Guarenteed Losers", you were just saying that because you picked them, and you suck at this, that they'll probably lose. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up. Interesting choices, and I take it that you did this before Thursday because you have Indianapolis on there, and they lost to New England, but you put them low on your list, so that was good.
