I'm in, but how do the confidence points work?

The more confidence you have in your pick the higher the number of points you use. Less confident, lower.

So I see you can go up to 16, would it be like if I put 5 points into tonight's game and was wrong, I'd lose 5 points? Is that how the scoring works? Sorry, I've never done confidence points before.

You would not lose the 5 points, but you would gain zero.

For each game you get correct you get the number of points you select for that game... Basically the game you are most sure if you rank 16 and the game you are least sure of you rank 1

I know this is week 1...does anyone else feel that the NFL is extremely unpredictable this year?

I feel the same way too. Lots of close games that I never would've expected to be close.

The perennial bottom-dwellers are starting to get better. OAK and the Jags for example.

Yeah, I actually picked the Raiders to make the playoffs this year, I think we are in for a crazy year of NFL football.

I picked them as well. That AFC west is a grab bag, Iess the Chargers.
