I totally messed up on the pick 'em game as well, the first week I forgot to pick the "challenge" points for most of the games, I went 9-7, but only got 12 points...so, I'm done for the season.
My picks are just awful, I was out of it by week 2.
D-UH!! I have pick sets in 2 leagues, I changed my pick from Bengals to Steelers in one but not in the FR set. I gave the Bengals 6 confidence points. So far I'm 3-2 on my way to being 6-3 but still no chance at the title.
