My picks are the teams highlighted in Gold.

The Ranking System
Once you have decided who you think will win each of the 32 games, you must rank each game with a confidence level. Each confidence level can be a number between 1 and 32. 32 being the highest confidence and 1 being the lowest. Each number must and may only be used once. You should place the higher values on the games you are more confident with. If you selected a winning team, you would earn the confidence level points you placed on that game. Your score is calculated by adding together all your correct picks confidence level points. The idea is to earn the most points.

I will come back to this game-by-game to annotate if I picked it correctly. Next post will be my picks against the spread.
