NFL Week 2 Confidence Pool Advice, Picks & Predictions (2023)
We went 10-6 with our confidence picks last weekend, tallying 84 points.
I was stumped on the Seahawks losing to the Rams. I also didn’t predict that the Vikings would lose to the Buccaneers. Still, I’d say with everything that happened in Week 1, I’m feeling pretty good.
Let’s get to my Week 2 confidence picks!
NFL Confidence Pool Picks
(1) Jaguars | Chiefs vs. Jaguars
We don’t know if Travis Kelce will be active or not. Patrick Mahomes seriously doesn’t have a solid wide receiver room, and they didn’t help him in Week 1. I’ll take the Jaguars at home. Why not?
(2) Bengals | Ravens vs. Bengals
I’m cautiously optimistic that the Bengals will turn things around at home against another divisional rival.
(3) Seahawks | Seahawks vs. Lions
The Seahawks were projected to make the NFL postseason this year for a reason. One loss against the Rams won’t ruin the season.
(4) Titans | Chargers vs. Titans
If Ryan Tannehill can limit turnovers, the Tennessee defense will play well enough to win games. The veteran knows better!
(5) Buccaneers | Bears vs. Buccaneers
Are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers about to go 2-0 to start the season without Tom Brady? You bet!
(6) Commanders | Commanders vs. Broncos
Washington didn’t play its best against the Arizona Cardinals last week. But they’ve got way more offensive firepower than the Broncos.
(7) Browns | Browns vs. Steelers
The Browns made the Bengals look silly last weekend. Meanwhile, the 49ers dominated the Steelers in their game. This game will be a defensive battle, but I’ve got the Browns coming out victorious.
(8) 49ers | 49ers vs. Rams
The Rams looked a lot better than most projected in Week 1. However, the 49ers are currently the favorites to win the Super Bowl. I’ll back the 49ers.
(9) Dolphins | Dolphins vs. Patriots
The Dolphins offense will be tough to stop as long as Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill stay healthy.
(10) Saints | Saints vs. Panthers
Bryce Young had his moments last weekend against the Falcons. But he’s not ready to compete against Derek Carr just yet.
(11) Eagles | Eagles vs. Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings won a lot of close, tight games last year. Some would say they were lucky. The luck will run out this year, especially against the former NFC Champions.
(12) Cowboys | Jets vs. Cowboys
The Jets found a way to defeat the Bills on Monday night without Aaron Rodgers. But it’ll be tough against a Dallas Cowboys team with all the momentum in the world heading into this game.
(13) Packers | Packers vs. Falcons
The Falcons listed Drake London as the WR1, and he had no catches. Bijan Robinson will be a stud, but the offense will probably be too inconsistent for my liking. Take the Packers.
(14) Bills | Raiders vs. Bills
Josh Allen knows better. He essentially lost the game for the Bills in Week 1. The Bills will return to the drawing board and out-score the Raiders by a lot in Week 2.
(15) Colts | Colts vs. Texans
Anthony Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts should have more success on the ground against the Texans than they did in Week 1 against the Jaguars.
(16) Giants | Giants vs. Cardinals
The Giants scored no points in Week 1. But against the Cardinals, that’ll change. Fade the Cardinals!
