Do you think every player on every team go into every game thinking they are gonig to win? yes or no.
 
no...some go in to some games just to collect a pay check...especially once they are eliminated or they see the writing on the wall that they aren't good enough to win anything...and some play to not get hurt...
 
if you dont you lose. if you ever played and you werent confident you probly like crap right? when i played in college and my head wasnt in the game i played like crap.
 
No.

Say its Rams vs Colts, do you really believe the Rams even think they could win? I mean upsets happen, but players aren't dumb
 
every player has to have the mentality that they CAN win, but not that they WILL win

Thats funny, people motivate themselves different ways. I always had to feel I was the underdog to totally get into the game. If I was the favorite I never got motivated to play my best. I think overconfidence is the most common emotion in sports. But there is definitely too sides to the coin.
 
talking about 100% of player especially the bottom teams
 
if they did the 0-16 lions wouldve won a game
 
I'm absolutely positive not every single player goes into every game thinking they are going to win. A lot of guys play for the paycheck. Then there are also the realists who realize how unlikely it is for them to win a certain game (e.g. Saints vs. Rams), but they still play hard in spite of the odds. I can almost guarantee you though that if you go into a game thinking you are going to lose, then you probably will.
