NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 13
by Christopher Delgado - 11/29/2022

Some key takeaways that I was able to note from this previous week were that the Vikings meltdown against the Cowboys was a fluke. Kurt Cousins shocked me and played a stellar game against the stingy Patriots. That was the most exciting game of the week, in my opinion. Another key takeaway is that the Bills, Buccaneers, and Ravens have started to plateau and show small regression in their play, especially against inferior teams.

This previous week in the NFL was good to us as we hit on 11 out of our 14 predictions last week. The most disappointing loss this weekend was the New York Giants. I had a lot of parlays messed up due to the Giants playing like their former selves against the Detroit Lions. Honestly, I don't know how the Giants messed that up. As Jared Goff is one of the worst quarterbacks in outdoor stadiums and for them to come to New York and just dominate a team that has strong playoff hopes was such a disappointment.

This past week in the NFL was super exciting to watch. I didn’t take many bets, so I got to be more of a fan than a businessman this past weekend. I couldn’t believe that Vikings game… it was absolutely amazing. Then the Cowboys game came right after, and it was a thriller. I couldn’t believe how the Cowboys let that game get away from them.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 9
by Christopher Delgado - 11/2/2022

Week 8 was a good week, as many of our predictions came true. The biggest disappointment was the Giants, who failed to win at home against the visiting Seahawks. I was also a bit disappointed in the Panthers, who had a great defensive game against the Buccaneers the previous week but couldn’t hold down the Falcons. If it wasn’t for a Patrick Mahomes-like throw from PJ Walker, they wouldn’t have forced overtime. However, they still ended up losing.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 8
by Christopher Delgado - 10/25/2022

Welcome to Week 8 of the NFL season. As a reminder, there are only 15 games on the schedule, as there are teams on their bye weeks. Last weekend we saw three big upsets as the Packers, Buccaneers, and Chargers were upset by their opponents. These games were difficult to watch because it was unexplainable how these teams couldn’t pull it together as they were big favorites to come out victorious. Let's put this past weekend and focus on Week 8 as good things await.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 7
by Christopher Delgado - 10/18/2022

This past week in the NFL, I was pulling out hairs. There were some major upsets. If you are a bettor that likes to back the underdog, this was your weekend to be alive. The 49ers, Bucs, Packers, Ravens, and Browns all got stunned. These major favorites were handed losses by inferior underdogs. My jaw was dropped the entire day on Sunday. I was in such disbelief of what I was seeing. I just want to move on from what I saw, as many of our tickets and survivor pools were cooked this past weekend.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 6
by Christopher Delgado - 10/12/2022

This past week, I was disappointed with some teams who couldn’t get it together. The Dolphins and Jaguars gave me a big headache as they played some of the worst football I have seen all year. The surprise of the week was the Giants upsetting the Packers in London. The favorite pick of the previous week was the Cowboys, as they took the game away from the Rams.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 5
by Christopher Delgado - 10/4/2022

Last week was great when it came to backing the favorites to win. There weren’t any surprises at all. The only game where I felt like we got cheated on was the Rams game. The Rams were awful on offense. Matthew Stafford looked like a blind mouse trying to make plays on the field.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 4
by Christopher Delgado - 9/27/2022

This past weekend was a headache for me as the Raiders and the Buccaneers both lost by a failed 2-point conversions. Then don’t get me started on that 49ers game, which featured some of the worst football I have ever seen. Other than that, this week went as planned for the most part. We even cashed in on a Jaguars pick for an upset in Los Angeles. We had over a 70% success rate in last week's pool selections, so let's get back to it.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 3
by Christopher Delgado - 9/20/2022

Week 2 of the NFL season was madness!!! This weekend had me feeling like I was watching March Madness all over again. I couldn’t express how it felt to watch the jaw dropping fourth quarters that we saw. For bettors who are big on betting the underdog, this was a weekend to be alive for, as we saw five upsets and almost two more in Los Angeles and Kansas City.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 2
by Jeremy Martin - 9/13/2022

We stated in our Week 1 NFL confidence pool picks article that we would play things conservatively, and that was obviously not the best strategy for Week 1. It’s still only Week 2 and there is absolutely no reason to panic yet. We did pick correct upset picks in Week 1 with Cleveland, Minnesota and Pittsburgh, so we aren’t too far from the right track. We scored 85 points in Week 1 and look to do even better for Week 2.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 1
by Jeremy Martin - 9/8/2022

Week 1 is finally here! And we have one of the marquee matchups of the entire season to start us off tonight as the Super Bowl favorite Buffalo Bills travel to Los Angeles to take on the defending champion Los Angeles Rams. Every week in this space we will provide NFL confidence pool picks for every game. These picks are all straight up with no point spread. These confidence pool picks are also useful as NFL survivor pool picks as we will rank each matchup from strongest to weakest.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 18
by Devon Rymarchuk - 1/6/2022

There is a lot of clarity after week 17, as six of the eight divisions have been decided before the last week of the season. The first week 18 of NFL history is before us, and the Indianapolis Colts need to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars for a wild card spot. The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers are playing for a playoff spot, which will be an exciting matchup. The New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles will be fighting for the final two spots in the NFC wild card race.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 17
by Devon Rymarchuk - 12/30/2021

The Buffalo Bills were able to take control of the AFC East yet again after a commanding win over the New England Patriots Sunday. Josh Allen was able to step up and be the all pro player many fans expect him to be. The Patriots failed to force a punt the entire game; it was the first time in Bill Belichick career. The Bills showed once again why they can be a team to come out of the AFC come playoff time.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 16
by Devon Rymarchuk - 12/23/2021

John Harbaugh, coach of the Baltimore Ravens, made another extremely risky and criticized decision against Green Bay by electing to go for two points and the potential win rather than tying the game to force an overtime. The decision can show lack of confidence in his squad and a sense that they were lucky to be in that situation versus the Packers. It has pushed the Ravens out of a playoff spot and makes their game against the Cincinnati Bengals a must win Sunday.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 15
by Devon Rymarchuk - 12/16/2021

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.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 14
by Devon Rymarchuk - 12/9/2021

In a classic AFC East battle, the New England Patriots travelled to Buffalo Monday night. Bill Belichick proved once again why he is a football genius, as he consistently finds ways to win in any type of game script. The Patriots threw the ball only three times on Monday and were able to keep Josh Allen under lock, winning a gritty 14-10 football game. New England is now atop the AFC and have won seven in a row.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 13
by Devon Rymarchuk - 12/2/2021

The Green Bay Packers put together another very impressive victory against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have made numerous noteworthy transactions in 2021 but seem to be out of sorts. December will be a make or break month if the Rams are going to make a push for the NFC West. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a very impressive come from behind victory against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 12
by Devon Rymarchuk - 11/25/2021

Yes, the Indianapolis Colts have saved their season. After starting 0-3, the Colts have bounced back, winning six of their last eight. The most important win coming last week vs AFC powerhouse, the Buffalo Bills. The Colts dominated in all facets Sunday in Buffalo. Jonathan Taylor ran at will vs the number one defense in the NFL, and the Colts defense was forcing Josh Allen into very poor decisions.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks Week 11
by Devon Rymarchuk - 11/18/2021

It was another wild week in the NFL during week 10 of the 2021 season. We saw some expected outcomes and other stunning results. In primetime games this year, underdogs are covering at a 75 percent clip, and of the 28 games played there have been 10 outright underdog winners. Making this season all the more fun and unpredictable, it also makes it attainable to catch up in any confidence league.
