I’ve been following sports and wrestling since I can remember. Not too much, aside from my family, gives me as much joy as watching my Raiders, Blackhawks, Bulls, White Sox or WWE. Add in some honey Jack to sip on and that’s the equation for a perfect evening!

Trades…vaccination issues…felony car crashes…MVP’s lost for the season…teams telling stars to just go home…don’t you just hate how boring the week can be before we get to the next Sunday?

Well let’s try to get some for excitement back and get going with these picks!

 

Week 9 – HERE WE GO!!!!

 

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

14 – DALLAS over Denver – Much to the dismay of, well, basically everyone outside of Dallas, it seem like this Cowboys team is legit.

13 – Buffalo over JACKSONVILLE – An obvious candidate for our top line this week, but its hard to 100% trust a road team.

12 – NEW ORLEANS over Atlanta – Sure there are QB questions in New Orleans now, but there are way more issues in Atlanta right now.

11 – KANSAS CITY over Green Bay – Obviously there is one big factor to think of when picking this game…game time temp…right?

10 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Tennessee – A prime time game against one of the best looking teams in the league is not the best time to lose your MVP running back.

9 – PITTSBURGH over Chicago – The Steelers showed that they won’t just be rolling over and dying this season last week – not good news for a struggling Bears team.

8 – INDIANAPOLIS over New York Jets – It’s really hard to think that the Jets can run on Mike White’s magic again.

7 – CINCINNATI over Cleveland – The Browns just seem to have too much locker room drama to win in Cincy.

6 – BALTIMORE over Minnesota –  I’ve been on the Viking bandwagon most of the season…losing to Cooper Rush is a quick way for me to jump off.

5 – MIAMI over Houston – With all the trade rumors behind him, I see a big day for the current Miami quarterback. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that TUA WILL FINISH WITH OVER 400 PASSIG YARDS.

4 – Las Vegas over NEW YORK GIANTS – Welp, the Raiders won their last “after a rough week” game following the Gruden following, playing the Giants is a reason to think they can do it again.

3 – New England over CAROLINA – If Christian McCaffrey ends up playing, feel free to flip this one to a Carolina win.

2 – PHILADELPHIA over Los Angeles Chargers – Last week gave me reason to pump some breaks on the Chargers being an elite team.

1 – SAN FRANCISCO over Arizona – It sounds like injuries are catching up to the Cardinals.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 8

I know what you are thinking, why am I bothering this week?
 
Why bother posting something this week since the NFL is taking a week off?
 
I completely understand why you would think that – it doesn’t really seem like the NFL will be playing any games this weekend.
 
Actually though, when I looked into it a little deeper, while the Raiders bye week does seem like no other game will happen, there will be a near-full slate of games, You’ll just have to wait an additional seven days to see the silver and black again.
 
I’m so sorry! BUT, we move on!
 
Week 8 – HERE WE GO!!!!
 
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
 
15 – BUFFALO over Miami – Tua says that he is confident that he is the Dolphins number one choice for their QB…yeah I don’t believe it either.
 
14 – Los Angeles Rams over HOUSTON – Brandin Cooks literally called out the BS of the Texans organization this week – not a good mindset to have when the Rams come to town. 
 
13 – KANSAS CITY over New York Giants – OK, if the Chiefs can’t pull a Monday Night home win over the Giants off, then we can officially write them off this season.
 
12 – Cincinnati over NEW YORK JETS – The Bengals are legit – seems like this season they will have the rest of the AFC North Chase-ing them (see what I did there?)
 
11 – CLEVELAND over Pittsburgh – In their first meeting since last season’s playoff upset, it’s hard to see the outcome being any different.
 
10 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over New England – Last week might have been the Mac Jones coming out party, but it won’t be enough in LA. 
 
9 – ARIZONA over Green Bay – Arguably the best game of the Thursday Night schedule – unfortunately COVID has made it so Aaron Rodgers won’t be able to throw the ball to anybody.
 
8 – San Francisco  over CHICAGO – Even with Matt Nagy off of the sidelines, it’s hard to pick the Bears.
 
7 – ATLANTA over Carolina – It seems as though the real Sam Darnold has indeed stood up.
 
6 – SEATTLE over Jacksonville – Geno Smith has come so close in the last two weeks, a home game against the Jags should be enough to get him over the hump.
 
5 – Tampa Bay over NEW ORLEANS – The Bucs stumbled in New Orleans last season and I was thinking about picking the upset here, but then remembered that Jameis Winston is not Drew Brees.
 
4 – Washington over DENVER – Stop me if you’ve heard this, but the Broncos aren’t good! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is AFTER A 3-0 START, THE BRONCOS WILL FINISH WITH A TOP 5 PICK IN THE DRAFT NEXT YEAR.
 
3 – Philadelphia over DETROIT – It would make sense to think the Lions will get their first win here, but then you have to remember…Lions gonna Lions. 
 
2 – INDIANAPOLIS over Tennessee – This just seems like a cool off game for the Titans after beating the Chiefs and Bills the last two weeks.
 
1 – MINNESOTA over Dallas – Apparently Dak’s health a question mark, which should be the opening the Vikings need.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 7

Published in Fantasy Football / NFL
Be the first to comment!

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 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.
