NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 18

NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 18

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 18:

16.

Denver Broncos

15.

New England Patriots

14.

Houston Texans

13.

Jacksonville Jaguars

12.

Kansas City Chiefs

11.

Minnesota Vikings

10.

Cincinnati Bengals

9.

New Orleans Saints

8.

Baltimore Ravens

7.

Los Angeles Rams

6.

Chicago Bears

5.

Buffalo Bills

4.

Dallas Cowboys

3.

Seattle Seahawks

2.

Carolina Panthers

1.

Philadelphia Eagles

We were hurt by the Lions and Rams last week, but I imagine most people lost with the latter.

The Patriots and Broncos are the easy top choices. The next group includes the Texans and Jaguars, and then it’s the Chiefs, Vikings, and Bengals. If you’re wondering why the Saints are so high, I have a bet on them this week. I discussed this on my NFL Picks page.
