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 Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 7

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

This has been a dramatic season to say the least.

While that is great while you’re watching the games on Sunday, it does make things a little difficult when filling out your confidence picks. We have had several weeks already where we are sure about maybe one or two games but then the rest are toss-ups.

This week, we get a little break. It seems like there will be several games that will have an expected outcome. It may not be good for ratings, but it is a more than welcomed rest period for us!

Week 7 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

13 – ARIZONA over Houston – If anyone is going to be the Cardinals right now, I would be more than willing to be that it won’t be Houston.

12 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Detroit – It’s the game that Jared Goff has circled on his calendar…with a little note underneath that reads “fake an injury?”

11 – TAMPA BAY over Chicago – After this week I’m sure Tom Brady will be in contact with Aaron Rodgers and his broker to try and get some shares in the Bears.

10 – BALTIMORE over Cincinnati – The Bengals are on the way up – but the Ravens are looking to strong to stop right now.

9 – GREEN BAY over Washington – If Rodgers is looking to get into ownership, I’m more than willing to bet they’ll be an opening in Washington soon.

8 – LAS VEGAS over Philadelphia – The Raiders showed that they are keeping the past behind them and focusing on the next game at hand – bad news for Philly.

7 – NEW ENGLAND over New York Jets – Mac Jones showed us a lot against a tough Cowboys defense last week – should make a game against the Jets feel like a bye week.

6 – SAN FRANCISCO over Indianapolis – This is just a home team pick – if the game were in Indy the pick would be different.

5 – TENNESSEE over Kansas City – This was expected to be an AFC Championship Game preview…but the Chiefs don’t exactly seem like a team that can make it there at this point.

4 – CLEVELAND over Denver – Yes I know that the Browns offense will be auditioning for The Replacements 2, but Denver just isn’t that good.

3 – MIAMI over Atlanta – This game will be played…not too much else to say here.

2 – SEATTLE over New Orleans – I’ll admit, Geno Smith didn’t look horrible last week. Having the Seattle 12th Man behind him will more than help him out.

1 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Carolina – Have you noticed a pattern with the picks this week? My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE HOME TEAM WILL WIN EVERY GAME THIS WEEK.

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 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.
