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!

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 13

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

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 9th 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.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 12

This is going to be a week unlike one we have seen in quite some time!

This pretty much goes against everything I stand for when writing these, but this week, with the fact that EVERY GAME is a close matchup, you can make an argument for every game being on every line!

So, you’re already here, might as well take a look at my argument .

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I will say that I am thankful for you all that take time every week to check out my football opinion – THANK YOU!

 

WEEK 12 – HERE WE GO!!

(HOME TEAM IN ALL CAPS)

 

15 – HOUSTON over New York Jets – Thanksgiving isn’t normally a holiday that includes gifts, but I will gift the Texans a top line spot this week thanks to a home matchup against Zach Wilson.

 

14 – DALLAS over Las Vegas – As a Raiders fan, I’m thankful the 2022 Draft is defensive heavy as I watch the Raiders draft slot go higher and higher every week.

 

13 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Philadelphia – As I said before, with the matchups this week, plan on putting a “hunch” pretty high if need be…as seen here.

 

12 – Buffalo over NEW ORLEANS – The Bills are a lot better than they have shown the last few weeks, look for this to be their comeback.

 

11 – BALTIMORE over Cleveland – It seems like the negative pressure is getting to Baker Mayfield.

 

10 – Carolina over MIAMI – While it’s easy to say the Dolphins are Super Bowl contenders after a road win over the Jets (pause for laughter) but I’m not quite ready to jump on that bandwagon just yet.

 

9 – CINCINATTI over Pittsburgh – The AFC North is pretty tight, but my BOLD PREDICTION is that THE BENGALS WILL WIN THE DIVISION.

 

8 – INDIANAPOLIS over Tampa Bay – Give Jonathan Taylor the ball and let him do his thing…seems to be working pretty well so far.

 

7 – SAN FRANCISCO over Minnesota – The Vikings are playing well right now, but the 9ers have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league right now.

 

6 – WASHINGTON over Seattle – I still need to see something positive before having any more confidence in the Seahawks.

 

5 – NEW ENGLAND over Tennessee – After losing at home to the Texans, why would you think the Titans will win this week?

 

4 – DENVER over Los Angeles Chargers – It seems like the rest of the AFC West have just accepted the fact that the Chiefs will win the division again.

 

3 – DETROIT over Chicago – Just get through this game, and the Nagy era could be all over Bears fans!

 

2 – GREEN BAY over Los Angeles Rams – A loss last week is probably the best thing for Aaron Rodgers going into this huge NFC matchup.

 
1 – JACKSONVILLE over Atlanta – This game will happen…that’s all I have to say.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks & Strategy 2021 - Week 11

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 10

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.
