NFL Week 15 Confidence Pool Advice, Picks & Predictions (2023)

Week 14 was the wackiest week weâ€™ve seen in the NFL this season.

I had the Dolphins as my most confident selection. However, the Dolphins blew a two-touchdown lead in the final minutes of last nightâ€™s game.

Our entry still ranks in the top 15,000 of 1 million people. At 127-81, weâ€™ve done well. However, Iâ€™d love to enter the top 10,000 on ESPN entries. Letâ€™s keep digging.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks

(1) Bills | Cowboys vs. Bills

The Buffalo Bills are back over .500 and have a home game against the Cowboys this weekend. Dallas isnâ€™t nearly as good away from home. Playing in the cold in Buffalo wonâ€™t help.

(2) Colts | Steelers vs. Colts

Kenny Pickett is out for another week. I wonâ€™t trust Mitch Trubisky. The Colts will get back on track at home.

(3) Bears | Bears vs. Browns

Chicagoâ€™s defense has impressed more than anything over the last two weeks. Even on the road against the Browns, I like the Bears to earn another win. Chicagoâ€™s starting to progress with Justin Fields under center.

(4) Giants | Giants vs. Saints

This game might be low-scoring. But I got to hop on the Tommy DeVito wagon right now. The Giants are one game out of the playoffs and are taking on a team with one more win than them right now.

(5) Broncos | Broncos vs. Lions

The Lions mightâ€™ve peaked too early. The defense canâ€™t stop much right now. Meanwhile, Denver is sitting at 7-6. Some of us thought the Broncos were the worst team in the NFL. Now look at them.

(6) Packers | Buccaneers vs. Packers

The Packers should bounce back at home against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers in the cold isnâ€™t ideal. It also feels like Tampa Bay has been on the road a lot recently. That hasnâ€™t helped them either.

(7) Titans | Texans vs. Titans

We donâ€™t know the status of C.J. Stroud just yet. But the Texans lost to the Jets, 30-6, while the Titans earned an upset win over the Dolphins. The home team is trending in the right direction.

(8) Dolphins | Jets vs. Dolphins

Iâ€™m not as confident as others. But the Dolphins are 8.5-point favorites at home. Iâ€™ll put them at 8. I was just ultimately impressed with Zach Wilson and the Jets last week.

(9) Ravens | Ravens vs. Jaguars

The Ravens are playing like the best team in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have significant injuries on offense, and the defense hasnâ€™t played very well lately.

(10) Eagles | Eagles vs. Seahawks

The Eagles canâ€™t get out of their own way. But the good news is that the Seahawks canâ€™t either. Seattle has D.K. Metcalf acting like a fool on offense and Jamal Adams talking nonsense on social media. Iâ€™ll back the Eagles here.

(11) Raiders | Chargers vs. Raiders

We could see another 3-0 game. Justin Herbert is unlikely to play in this one. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas offense couldnâ€™t score a point last weekend. But Iâ€™d rather back the Raiders over Ethan Stick and the Chargers.

(12) Bengals | Vikings vs. Bengals

I fully expect Jake Browning to outplay Joshua Dobbs if Dobbs even gets another shot at starting.

(13) Falcons | Falcons vs. Panthers

The season is over for the Panthers. The offense canâ€™t do much of anything. Meanwhile, Desmond Ridder just gave the Falcons one of the best games of his career.

(14) Chiefs | Chiefs vs. Patriots

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will relax and get back on track against a poor New England team.

(15) Rams | Commanders vs. Rams

Despite last weekâ€™s loss, the Rams are still fighting for a playoff spot.

(16) 49ers | 49ers vs. Cardinals

San Francisco has the best team in the NFL this season.
