NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 16

NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 16

I’ve received requests to make selections for Confidence Pools. I’ll offer those picks each week. Follow me on Twitter @walterfootball for contest updates.

If you’re unfamiliar with confidence pools, you select each team to win, straight up, and you assign point values for how confident you are that each team will win. For example, the team you’re most confident in will get 16 points (if there are 16 games), then the next team will get 15, and so on.

Here are my confidence picks for Week 16:

16.

Houston Texans

15.

Detroit Lions

14.

Buffalo Bills

13.

Philadelphia Eagles

12.

San Francisco 49ers

11.

Cincinnati Bengals

10.

Los Angeles Rams

9.

Chicago Bears

8.

New Orleans Saints

7.

Baltimore Ravens

6.

Minnesota Vikings

5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

4.

Jacksonville Jaguars

3.

San Angeles Chargers

2.

Tennessee Titans

1.

Arizona Cardinals

Week 15 wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. We got all of our 16 to 9 picks correct, but not much beyond that.

The Texans are the easy top choice. The next group includes the Lions and Bills, and then it’s the Eagles, 49ers, and Bengals. If you’re wondering why the Bengals are so high, I have a bet on them this week. I discussed this on my NFL Picks page.
