NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 1

NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 1

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 1:

16.

Cincinnati Bengals

15.

Kansas City Chiefs

14

Cleveland Browns

13.

Philadelphia Eagles

12.

San Francisco 49ers

11.

Seattle Seahawks

10.

Miami Dolphins

9.

Detroit Lions

8.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

7.

Atlanta Falcons

6.

Houston Texans

5.

Las Vegas Raiders

4.

Arizona Cardinals

3.

Carolina Panthers

2.

New York Giants

1.

Chicago Bears

The Bengals are the easy top choice. After that, there are a number of teams that can be ordered in the next tier, namely the Chiefs, Browns, and Eagles. This is a difficult week with so few big favorites. If you’re wondering where the Bills are, I’m betting the Cardinals, per my NFL Picks page.
