NFL Confidence Pool Picks

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. San Francisco 49ers

15. Philadelphia Eagles

14. Kansas City Chiefs

13. Cincinnati Bengals

12. Buffalo Bills

11. Jacksonville Jaguars

10. Dallas Cowboys

9. Minnesota Vikings

8. Atlanta Falcons

7. Seattle Seahawks

6. Denver Broncos

5. Miami Dolphins

4. Cleveland Browns

3. Detroit Lions

2. Carolina Panthers

1. Houston Texans




The Eagles losing really hurt us last week.

The 49ers and Eagles belong at the top in some order, and then the next tier is comprised of the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals. If you’re wondering why the Seahawks are so low, I’m betting the Rams, per my NFL Picks page.

Update: I’ve switched the Chargers to the Broncos late in the week.
