NFL Confidence Pool Picks: Week 8
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 8:
16. Detroit Lions
15. Kansas City Chiefs
14. Baltimore Ravens
13. Denver Broncos
12. San Angeles Chargers
11. San Francisco 49ers
10. New York Jets
9. Green Bay Packers
8. Pittsburgh Steelers
7. Cincinnati Bengals
6. Buffalo Bills
5. Minnesota Vikings
4. Chicago Bears
3. Atlanta Falcons
2. Indianapolis Colts
1. Miami Dolphins
Week 7 wasn’t as good as Week 6, but it wasn’t too bad. It would have been nice to hit the Chargers, given that we had them for nine points.
The three double-digit favorites (Lions, Chiefs, Ravens) belong at the top in some order. After that, you have the Broncos, Chargers, 49ers, and Jets group. If you’re wondering where the Texans are, I’m betting the Colts heavily per my NFL Picks page.
Points in Week 1: 85/136
Points in Week 2: 62/136
Points in Week 3: 56/136
Points in Week 4: 108/136
Points in Week 5: 24/105
Points in Week 6: 90/105
Points in Week 7: 85/120
