NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 15
The most noteworthy performances of week 14 included the following:
The hunt for the AFC North title continues to heat up going into week 15 of the NFL season. The Cleveland Browns beat divisional rival Baltimore, putting both the Browns and the Bengals one game back from being atop the AFC North. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been able to hang around as well, sitting only two games back. The Ravens have lost three of their last five games. To add to the struggles in Baltimore, quarterback Lamar Jackson is dealing with an ankle injury that could really inhibit his play making ability going forward.
The Buffalo Bills continue to struggle, losing three of their last four games and dwindling their chances of winning their division. The Bills almost completed a dramatic comeback Sunday in Tampa Bay, where at one point they were down by 18 points and were able to push the game to overtime. If the Bills continue to build off that second half performance, they could be a scary team down the stretch.

Key matchups of week are as follows:
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Tennessee Titans
Spread +1.5 (Steelers)
Pick Popularity 35%
Win Percentage 44%
The Steelers come in as an unpopular toss up play. With their season on the line in Pittsburgh, and the recent inconsistencies of the Tennessee Titans, play the less popular side if you need to catch up in your league. The Pittsburgh Steelers have also been one of the best teams at home this season, with only one loss so far.
Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots
Spread -2 (Colts)
Pick Popularity 36%
Win percentage 58%
I believe the Indianapolis Colts are the perfect matchup to slow down the red-hot New England Patriots. A tremendous defensively responsible football team playing at home in an extremely tight AFC wild card race is a recipe for a win. As the favorite, they are only being picked at 36%. Look for this matchup to come down to New England’s ability to stop the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Football Team
Spread -5.5 (Eagles)
Pick Popularity 77%
Win percentage 67%
The Philadelphia Eagles come into week 15 as the 10th most popular picked team. I would stick to the favorite in this NFC showdown. The Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings are all favored at -5.5 and lower and are all being picked at a higher percentage then the Eagles in week 15. The Philadelphia Eagles are a team you can confidently move up in your confidence pool as I believe they are being undervalued this week.
Most unpredictable game of the week: The Las Vegas Raiders are coming into Cleveland as 3-point favorites because of the massive uncertainty around the Browns lineup. This is a matchup I would pay close attention to heading into Sunday, depending on who is able to dress may sway your pick. I do believe Case Keenum is not much of a drop off at the quarterback position for the Cleveland Browns. They Browns rely mainly on solid defensive play and a strong running offense. The potential absence of Baker Mayfield should not be as concerning as it sounds.
