NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 2

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

Just one week into the season and we have already seen a lot!

But do we really KNOW anything based off of one week? As you’ll see in this week’s picks, no, not really!

So let’s get back to the games!

Week 2 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – TAMPA BAY over Atlanta – Yep, the Bucs are still pretty good.

15 – GREEN BAY over Detroit – Yes, I saw that game last week, but this is still the Packers hosting the Lions. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that AARON RODGERS WILL THROW FOR OVER 400 YARDS.

14 – CLEVELAND over Houston – Losing a close game in KC is nothing to be ashamed of. Look for the Browns to show the league who they are against the lowly Texans.

13 – ARIZONA over Minnesota – The Cardinals went in to Tennessee and just dominated! Should make their home opener a breeze.

12 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Dallas – Not a good week for the Cowboys to lose DeMarcus Lawrence.

11 – WASHINGTON over New York Giants – The NFC East take center stage on Thursday Night Football…a feel like an apology from the NFL Network is in order.

10 – SEATTLE over Tennessee – Last week’s demoralizing loss doesn’t really make me feel the Titans can go into Seattle and win right now.

9 – Los Angeles Rams over INDIANAPOLIS – An NFC West powerhouse came to Indy and dominate the Colts in week 1. So, for week 2…more of the same.

8 – Kansas City over BALTIMORE – Not too many games this year will be a more sure-thing bet for the over!

7 – Buffalo over MIAMI – I just can’t see the Bills starting 0-2.

6 – PITTSBURGH over Las Vegas – Just like last week, I REALLY want to take the Raiders in this one…damn responsibility!

5 – PHILADELPHIA over San Francisco – Bringing back the “they’ll win because they’re the home team” mentality on this one.

4 – CAROLINA over New Orleans – Jameis and the Saints need to do more before they get me to think week 1 wasn’t just an anomaly.

3 – Denver over JACKSONVILLE – Don’t worry Jacksonville, Urban Meyer said he has no interest in leaving your team for a top college job (pauses for laughter).

2 – New England over NEW YORK JETS – There’s something about the Jets that just can’t let me put this game higher than the 2 spot.

1 – Cincinnati over CHICAGO – One step closer to change, Bears fans. Just keep remembering that!

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 5

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

As we head into week 5, we also head into another feature of the NFL schedule – the London Games!

This week, in a game that starts at 8:30 CST, the league was kind enough to schedule the Falcons and the Jets so that if we oversleep,

it’s OK…it’s the Falcons and the Jets!

Week 5 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – TAMPA BAY over Miami – Now that the New England is in the rearview, Tom Brad can just focus on winning…that’s a little scary.

15 – MINNESOTA over Detroit – Yes the Vikings lost at home last week, but it still seems like they are one of the most underrated teams in the league.

14 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Cleveland – The Chargers proved last week that they are the team to beat in one of the league’s most competitive divisions.

13 – DALLAS over New York Giants – Not really sure why Jaylon Smith was cut, but a hit to the defense shouldn’t be an issue against the Giants.

12 – CAROLINA over Philadelphia – I have no faith in Jalen Hurts or the Eagles this season. In the lowest of lowly divisions, my BOLD PREDICTION is that THE EAGLES WILL FINISH LAST IN THE NFC EAST,

11 – BALTIMORE over Indianapolis – The city of Baltimore will FINALLY get revenge on the franchise that left them years ago! (I legit didn’t have anything to say about this game)

10 – ARIZONA over San Francisco – I would put the Cardinals higher if it wasn’t for a potential Trey Lance start.

9 – LAS VEGAS over Chicago – I’m not comparing them to Garrett and Clowney in Cleveland, but Yannick Ngakoue and Maxx Crosby will probably be making it a similar rough time for the Bears’ new QB1.

8 – Tennessee over JACKSONVILLE – When you lose to the Jets, you don’t get to have double-digit number confidence against the Jags.

7 – PITTSBURGH over Denver – The Steelers should just be lucky this is a home game.

6 – KANSAS CITY over Buffalo – The AFC Championship should end the same way as it did last January.

5 – SEATTLE over Los Angeles Rams – Finally a fun Thursday game to start the week off!

4 – New Orleans over WASHINGTON – This just seems like one of those matchups that Winston will find a way to win.

3 – New England over HOUSTON – If Tyrod Taylor were playing I would probably pick Houston in this one.

2 – CINCINNATI over Green Bay – Pure hunch on this one.

1 – New York Jets over ATLANTA – Not having any receivers cross the pond with you makes it hard to win a game.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 11

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

You know, I could sit here and spend a few times trying to come up with something clever to write before getting to the picks…maybe even something funny…maybe a little bit of both!

But meh, like the Raiders last week, I’m just going to take the week off.

WEEK 11 – HERE WE GO!!

(HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS)

15 – TENNESSEE over Houston – Does this need to be explained?

14 – TAMPA BAY over New York Giants – There is something about playing the Giants that just may give Tom Brady a little extra motivation…well maybe two things.

13 – CLEVELAND over Detroit – Cleveland is in desperate need of a team that can celebrate a tie.

12 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Pittsburgh – The Steelers tied last week…to the Lions…that is all.

11 – SEATTLE over Arizona – One more week of injury problems for the Cardinals before they right the ship after their bye week next week.

10 – New England over ATLANTA – Mac Jones is slowly becoming the best quarterback in the 2021 Draft Class…at least for this season. (side note – proud of myself for writing something here other than a 28-3 reference!)

9 – Baltimore over CHICAGO – Bears fans, a win isn’t the most important thing that can happen at Soldier Field this week…Justin Fields paying more attention to Lamar Jackson than Matt Nagy is!

8 – Cincinnati over LAS VEGAS – Hot start to the season followed by a dismal playoff chances killing end to the season…Raiders fans have seen this before.

7 – CAROLINA over Washington – It’s safe to say that Cam gives the Panthers a little extra boost. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is THE PANTHERS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS THIS SEASON.

6 – San Francisco over JACKSONVILLE – Just because the Jags beat the Bills in their last home game doesn’t mean you should have any confidence that they can beat another solid team.

5 – KANSAS CITY over Dallas – Welcome back to the league Mr. Mahomes.

4 – PHILADELPHIA over New Orleans – Remember when this could have been an NFC Championship preview just a few years ago…yeah…not anymore.

3 – Green Bay over MINNESOTA – He may have an issue with the front office, but Aaron Rodgers will play his heart out for the city/state that will blindly treat him like a God.

2 – BUFFALO over Indianapolis – You would think the Bills should be higher on this list, but Jonathan Taylor is playing like he alone can beat anyone.

1 – NEW YORK JETS over Miami – I would say that someone has to win this game, but the Steelers and Lions have reminded us that this isn’t always the case.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 14

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

With the league extending to 17 games and 18 weeks this season, bye weeks have also been extended.

Normally we are done with teams taking a week off and are back to a full slate of 16 games a week by this time. We still have a little time before we are able to score more points for our season long pool, so every game still counts…even the Jets games!

Week 14 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – GREEN BAY over Chicago – Have no fear Bears fans, this MIGHT be the last time you have to play Aaron Rodgers!

13 – KANSAS CITY over Las Vegas – The Chiefs embarrassed the Raiders in Vegas just a couple weeks ago – hard to think moving the

game to KC will help the Raiders any.

12 – TENNESSEE over Jacksonville – Yes the Titans have been riddled with injuries…but this is still a home game against the Jaguars.

11 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over New York Giants – If you’re a Giants fan on the west coast, stay close to your phone, you may be asked to play quarterback.

10 – New Orleans over NEW YORK JETS – It’s been a while since the Saints have played a game that you just assumed was going to be incredibly boring.

9 – DENVER over Detroit – It was amazing that the Lions actually won a game last week – two in a row would downright be a miracle.

8 – TAMPA BAY over Buffalo – I told a friend shortly before their last game that I thought the Bills could make the Super Bowl…which was apparently their kiss of death.

7 – CINCINNATI over San Francisco – Is it weird to think of this as an outside-the-box Super Bowl preview?

6 – Baltimore over CLEVELAND – Old Browns continue to make Cleveland upset that the current Browns are, well, the current Browns.

5 – Seattle over HOUSTON – It’s still odd to me that Seattle is, deservedly, this low against Houston.

4 – MINNESOTA over Pittsburgh – The week starts out with a “they’ll win because they’re the home team” matchup.

3 – ARIZONA over Los Angeles Rams – Bet the over…just…just bet the over!

2 – WASHINGTON over Dallas – This may just be the start of what we’ll see the rest of the season. My BOLD PREDICTION is that WASHINGTON WILL WIN THE NFC EAST.

1 – CAROLINA over Atlanta – This just may be the week the thrill and excitement of Cam Newton starting for the Panthers again leads to a win!
