Regarding the risk table, we have decided to remove the “blue pick” for our suggestions. We realized that in the high risk pick column, even if the high risk green pick hit, the person may still not win the week. Therefore, we decided to take more risks and add an additional yellow pick. Now, our high risk column is our best yellow and best green pick, while our middle column is our best green selection only, and the some risk column is our best yellow selection. Best of luck, hope this is more helpful!

Where is the niner versus rams
The write-up claims that WAS is the best green pick of the week yet it doesn’t show up in either of your Suggested Picks By Risk. CLE is the green pick for both Med. & High risk. What’s the reason for the change? Thanks.
Hey Jeff, WAS is higher win prob but higher picked %, while CLE is lower win prob but also lower picked %. So it’s pretty much a tradeoff. We went with the higher risk/reward for the suggested picks, but the write-up went with WAS as the better value. We’ll be more consistent with it in the future.
Maybe this has been asked/ talked about bout how does the Thursday night game get changed after it’s been played. It was Arizona with 2 then the game was played and now the latest update was Arizona with 4? It likes this every week I feel like.
Dustin, yes the game should be locked in at the points given, but my limited spreadsheet skills haven’t been able to make that work yet… Meanwhile please slot in the picks around the locked game while I work on it!
If you play in a pool that drops the lowest confidence point teams during bye weeks, like I do, here are the Scores from last week (Confidence points: 16 down to 3):
Base pick: 71
High Risk: 62
Med Risk: 53
Some Risk: 74
I played the “some risk” column and 74 points was enough to win the 14 player pool I participate in. Payout is $140 for a weekly winner and $280 for the season long winner. Currently, I am in first place with 504 points for the season but only by seven (7) points and there’s still a long road ahead.
Thanks for the info! Congrats on the win 🙂
Jacksonville over the Giants? Is that right? If it is then Jax is a great blue pick. But something tells me that’s a data entry error.
Double checked it, sure enough Jax is favored. Let me see why it didn’t pick Jacksonville as a yellow pick, maybe it’s so good it broke the sheet.
enjoyed WASH with 15,
16 for DEN not so much …
I didn’t follow my own strategy… Took ATL as my green and WAS as my yellow, but only set WAS at 2 and ended up in 4th place! 😛
Thought you got rid of blue
Still there, we just don’t use it in our picks anymore. Still available if people want to use it in their strategy!
