NFL Week 3 Confidence Pool Advice, Picks & Predictions (2023)
Through two weeks, we’ve gone 22-10 with 197 points with our confidence picks.
Out of 16 games last week, we went 12-4 straight up.
Let’s keep that momentum heading into Week 3 of the NFL season.
NFL Confidence Pool Picks
(1) Rams | Rams vs. Bengals
I won’t pick the Bengals again until they prove they’re back. The Rams have been surprising this year and have an offense that can put up more points against Cincinnati this week.
(2) Steelers | Steelers vs. Raiders
At least the Steelers play good defense!
(3) Vikings | Chargers vs. Vikings
It’s hard to imagine the Chargers starting the season 0-3. But the Vikings match up better on the defensive side of the ball.
(4) Patriots | Patriots vs. Jets
New England typically owns the Jets. Recently, Sauce Gardner and Breece Hall voiced their displeasure over coaching moves. Robert Salah has stayed stubborn and won’t change. This could create some chaos in the locker room.
(5) Packers | Saints vs. Packers
Hopefully, Aaron Jones and Christian Watson return to the offensive starting lineup for the Packers.
(6) Titans | Titans vs. Browns
It’ll be a low-scoring game between the Titans and the Browns. But I’ll take my chances with the Titans without Nick Chubb and Deshaun Watson not playing very well.
(7) Lions | Falcons vs. Lions
Desmond Ridder and the Falcons can’t keep up with Detroit’s offense.
(8) Bills | Bills vs. Commanders
The Bills should be fine against the 2-0 Commanders. But there are other games I’m more confident in.
(9) Eagles | Eagles vs. Buccaneers
The Eagles haven’t looked like last year’s version. But the talent gap between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay is apparent.
(10) Dolphins | Broncos vs. Dolphins
The Denver defense looks atrocious, and the Broncos are still stuck with Russell Wilson at quarterback. Wilson’s been better than last year, but he’s not close to being elite. Tua Tagovailoa’s the odds leader for the MVP right now. Take the Dolphins.
(11) Jaguars | Jaguars vs. Texans
Jacksonville struggled to score against the Chiefs. But they’ll be fine against the Texans.
(12) Ravens | Colts vs. Ravens
It’s unclear if Anthony Richardson will start for the Colts in Week 3. I think the Colts have a better chance to pull off an upset with Gardner Minshew at quarterback if we’re being honest. Still, the Ravens will be too much to handle.
(13) Seahawks | Panthers vs. Seahawks
Unfortunately, Bryce Young looks lost at quarterback for the Panthers. He’ll improve and develop. But his time isn’t now.
(14) 49ers | Giants vs. 49ers
The Giants have looked awful for six out of eight quarters this season. A come-from-behind win against the Cardinals doesn’t move the needle. Meanwhile, San Francisco is the best team in the NFL, with the most balance in the league.
Plus, the Giants could be without Saquon Barkley. That won’t help.
(15) Chiefs | Bears vs. Chiefs
The Bears haven’t won a game since October 2022.
(16) Cowboys| Cowboys vs. Cardinals
Dallas earned a 40-point win against the Giants and a 20-point win over the Jets. A 20+ win against the Cardinals is very likely.
