NFL Confidence Pool Picks

(1) Giants | Patriots vs. Giants

While the Patriots haven’t announced a starter, the Giants have their guy in Tommy DeVito. That win last week will help the Giants turn the corner.

(2) Texans | Jaguars vs. Texans

The Texans typically give the Jaguars fits every year. Look for Houston to bounce back at home in a big divisional matchup.

(3) Broncos | Browns vs. Broncos

The Broncos have really improved over the last month under Sean Payton. I’d trust Russell Wilson over Dorian Thompson-Robinson right now.

(4) Colts | Buccaneers vs. Colts

Neither team is good enough to make the playoffs. But I’ll grab the home team in the Colts.

(5) Saints | Saints vs. Falcons

It sounds like Derek Carr will still start for the Saints this weekend. Meanwhile, the Falcons are riding out the rest of the season with Desmond Ridder after benching him a short while ago. Give me the Saints.

(6) Rams | Rams vs. Cardinals

The Cardinals are more competitive with Kyler Murray and James Conner back in the lineup. But that shouldn’t stop Los Angeles from earning a road win.

(7) 49ers | 49ers vs. Seahawks

The bye week helped the 49ers get back on track a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, Geno Smith’s questionable for this game with a triceps injury. We keep waiting for the Seattle offense to play consistently, and it hasn’t.

(8) Bengals | Steelers vs. Bengals

I liked what I saw out of Jake Browning in the final drive with the Bengals. He’s been in the system, which allows the Bengals to keep the playbook and do the same things. He’s also got some wheels like Burrow. I’ll back the Bengals with confidence.

(9) Titans | Panthers vs. Titans

The Panthers’ coaching staff isn’t being fair to Bryce Young, switching playcallers and keeping nothing consistent.

(10) Lions | Packers vs. Lions

It’s highly unlikely Green Bay’s offense can stick around with Detroit’s offense.

(11) Eagles | Bills vs. Eagles

The Bills improved to 6-5 last week against the Jets. But they’re getting the Eagles at the worst time.

(12) Cowboys | Commanders vs. Cowboys

Washington just allowed 31 points to Tommy DeVito and the New York Giants. Dallas will dominate at home.

(13) Chiefs | Chiefs vs. Raiders

Kansas City has to get back on track this weekend.

(14) Ravens | Ravens vs. Chargers

Does anyone know who is coaching the defense for the Chargers? Take the Ravens.

(15) Vikings | Bears vs. Vikings

Minnesota is in a tight race, looking to earn their seventh win of the season. Chicago’s practically already out of the playoffs.

(16) Dolphins | Dolphins vs. Jets

Tim Boyle makes the Jets worse.
