NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 6

Just like last week with the London games, we have another aspect of the NFL schedule starting up this week – bye weeks!

This can play big in your season long pools. If you have had a solid start and are sitting comfortably towards the top of the standings, you are loving bye weeks as the top numbers aren’t in play! You can’t have 15 and 16 point games where there are only 14 games played in a week!

On the flip side, if you need to make up ground, you need to make sure you hit as many picks as you can in a week.

Lucky for you, you’re reading my picks, so you’re good to go

Week 6 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – INDIANAPOLIS over Houston – The fact that the Colts are on the top line this week show’s how good the matchups are this week!

13 – PITTSBURGH over Seattle – Do you really have any confidence in Geno Smith going cross-country for a prime-time game?

12 – Los Angeles Rams over NEW YORK GIANTS – This wouldn’t be close even with a full, healthy Giants offense.

11 – Dallas over NEW ENGLAND – As you are reading this, Trevon Diggs just intercepted another pass.

10 – Tampa Bay over PHILADELPHIA – I credit my mocking the Eagles last week for their win in Carolina…no way it happens against Tampa though.

9 – CAROLINA over Minnesota – This is based on Christian McCaffrey playing – if he doesn’t, feel free to drop the Panthers down the list…maybe even pick the Vikings.

8 – DENVER over Las Vegas – I’ll need at least a week after all of the off-the-field issues to have confidence that the Raiders can win a

game again.

7 – JACKSONVILLE over Miami – After the Falcons and Jets, London now gets to see the Jags and Dolphins!! … … … sorry London.

6 – Green Bay over CHICAGO – A big road win last week has the Bears looking better than most thought they would this year…which will just be motivation for Aaron Rodgers to bring them back down to Earth.

5 – Kansas City over WASHINGTON – At this point, pick the Chiefs to win on the road just seems like holding on to something that needs to be let go.

4 – BALTIMORE over Los Angeles Chargers – It’s scary to think that Lamar Jackson is having a better year than his MVP season. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that LAMAR JACKSON WILL FINISH WITH 4,000 PASSING YARDS AND 1,000 RUSHING YARDS THIS SEASON.

3 – CLEVELAND over Arizona – This is just going to be a fun game to watch!

2 – TENNESSEE over Buffalo – The way the Bills are playing, if you think they will lose, you better keep them on a lower point line.

1 – DETROIT over Cincinnati – I mean, I just feel bad for the Lions and their fans at this point – feel free to call this a pity pick.

NFL Survivor Pool: Week 6

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

Pretty much everybody survived last week albeit some by the skin of their teeth. Detroit's overall stink managed to overpower Minnesota's clutch kicking stink to prevent a massive 209 player elimination. Baltimore and the Patriots also made late comebacks in games they were favorites. It seems I wasn't the only one afraid to pick the Titans, with only 22 picking them in a game they won handily against the Jags.

I struggled mightily this week in making my selection. Do I pick a bad team that is playing good? Or the really good team that is playing bad? The last few weeks I've been hearing Washington's defense is garbage and forget the pre-season hype they received. We all know that the Chiefs defense is trash, so Mahomes should be able to beat Heineke in a shootout. But, stranger things have happened and the Chiefs haven't looked good all season, so I will be fading this match-up on the road.

I will be doing this in favor or the Indianapolis Colts at home taking on the Houston Texans. With Daniel Jones being cleared to play, the Colts overtook the Rams as the biggest favorite of the week currently at -10. If you followed my pick last week in the Patriots, you already love the Texans for being the worst coached team in the league and gifting us a miracle survival. The Colts almost pulled off a nice upset Monday night against the Ravens and desperately need a win this week to make up a game on the Titans. Carson Wentz may not be able to beat the upper echelon teams, but fortunately that list does not include Houston.

Cheers! Drink Five!

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 10

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

OK….so….um…about last week…

Well, seems like a good time to remind you that in most season long pools, your lowest score of the year is dropped. So, we’ll just use that benefit and move on!

Week 10 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – INDIANAPOLIS over Jacksonville – Yes the Jaguars beat Buffalo last week, but do you really expect them to win two in a row just scoring 9 points?

13 – DALLAS over Atlanta – When you lose as the top line team, you don’t get to be there the following week…but the Cowboys are playing the Falcons so they should still be pretty high.

12 – Buffalo over NEW YORK JETS – The Bills have learned their lesson when playing lower level teams.

11 – PITTSBURGH over Detroit – I don’t think the Steelers will need as much help from the refs to pull out the win this week.

10 – ARIZONA over Carolina – The second string Cardinals offense won in San Francisco last week, a depleted Panthers team has no chance.

9 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Minnesota – Off-field issues are going to catch up to the Vikings this week.

8 - Tampa Bay over WASHINGTON – I see Tom Brady having another huge game here…and it has nothing to do with the fact that I just traded away Leonard Fournette in one of my fantasy leagues.

7 – Baltimore over MIAMI – The Thursday Night primetime lights will remind the country that yes, Miami does still have a team…then the game will start to remind you they’re not good.

6 – TENNESSEE over New Orleans – It seems odd to say that the loss of Jameis Winston will cripple his team…but it will.

5 – NEW ENGLAND over Cleveland – I have no confidence that the Browns can win two tough road games in a row.

4 – LAS VEGAS over Kansas City – If the Raiders want to be considered a legit AFC West contender, they NEED to win this one.

3 – Los Angeles Rams over SAN FRANCISCO – Yes, the Rams added another fancy piece with OBJ, but will it really make a difference? My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE RAMS WILL NOT WIN THEIR DIVISION.

2 – DENVER over Philadelphia – If you win in Dallas, then you get to be picked to win at home against a bad Eagles team.

1 – Seattle over GREEN BAY – Russell Wilson is coming back, Aaron Rodgers might not – that’s not a good combination for the Packers.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 13

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

The number 13 has an odd aura around it.

The NFL seems to be doing its part to add to that way of thinking with some of the matchups in Week 13.

If you have been following along with me, you know that I am hesitant to have road teams too high and we have a few different games that could make me forget that rule. Thank God the Jags are in LA this week!

Not only that, but there are a few matchups that make us say “Who knew?” as you’ll see as you read on.

So let’s not waste any more time!

Week 13 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Jacksonville – A home game against a Jaguars team that now also has to deal with Urban Meyer going back to college rumors is the cure for what ails the Rams.

13 – Tampa Bay over ATLANTA – So Cordarrelle Patterson is listed as a Safety for Atlanta – it’s like a baseball team down 15 in the 9^th that brings the Left Fielder in to pitch…they’ve given up.

12 – Arizona over CHICAGO –The Cardinals being this high is contingent on Kyler and Hopkins suiting up. If they don’t, they still win but drop them down a few lines.

11 – Indianapolis over HOUSTON – I had faith in the Texans last week, that was my first mistake.

10 – KANSAS CITY over Denver – Who knew this game would have meaning towards the race for the AFC West crown?

9 – CINCINNATI over Los Angeles Chargers – The Bengals this season have been what the Chargers were supposed to be.

8 – Minnesota over DETROIT – I had a bold prediction early in the season that the Lions would have the worst record – but now…my BOLD PREDICTION is that THE LIONS WILL BECOME THE FIRST FRANCHISE WITH TWO WINLESS SEASONS.

7 – Dallas over NEW ORLEANS – Who knew that the Cowboys would need to win this game to keep the lock on the top of the division they used to have?

6 – MIAMI over New York Giants – The Dolphins defense is sure to keep Daniel Jones in his downward spiral this week.

5 – Philadelphia over NEW YORK JETS – Who knew these two teams played? … is what we will probably all be saying after this game ends.

4 – LAS VEGAS over Washington – The Raiders showed a little life last week. Maybe they can keep the last few seasons in the past and not fall apart in the second half of the season…but they still should be kept on a low line.

3 – BUFFALO over New England – Who knew the defending AFC runner ups would be on such a low number at home against a rookie quarterback and a team that is in rebuild mode?

2 – SEATTLE over San Francisco – Who knew it would be a tough decision to say the Seahawks would win this division matchup at home?

1 – PITTSBURGH over Baltimore – This just seems like one of those games the Steelers will win…no real scientific reasoning behind it.
