Week 8 was filled with upsets. That ultimately pushed us to 9-7 for the week. However, many games with high confidence points were lost, pushing us to the 94th percentile on ESPN.

Weâ€™re now 79-43 on the season and approaching 700 points. Thatâ€™s still good for the top 6,000 out of 1,000,000 people. But we can do better.

Here are our picks for Week 9 of the NFL season.

NFL Confidence Pool Picks

(1) Titans | Titans vs. Steelers

Will Levis gave the Titans a chance with some of the most accurate long balls weâ€™ve seen in the NFL this season. Iâ€™d love to see him play before Ryan Tannehill gets another opportunity.

(2) Commanders | Commanders vs. Patriots

This game will be ugly. However, the Commanders have more offensive firepower, while the Patriots want to trade away many offensive assets.

(3) Jets | Chargers vs. Jets

You can never count out the Jets! Plus, the passing game should be so much better against Los Angeles on Monday night.

(4) Buccaneers | Buccaneers vs. Texans

After a loss to the Panthers, Houston isnâ€™t ready to take that next step with the program this season.

(5) Eagles | Cowboys vs. Eagles

The Cowboys are a different team on the road. The Eagles also havenâ€™t lost at home this season.

(6) Bengals | Bills vs. Bengals

The Bengals finally look like the team we all expected them to be earlier in the season. With Burrow healthy, the Bengals have the better quarterback. This rivalry is always fun. Itâ€™ll probably be a high-scoring game. But Iâ€™ll take the Bengals.

(7) Chiefs | Dolphins vs. Chiefs

Back at home, the Chiefs will find a way against the Dolphins. Itâ€™s rare for Kansas City to lose two straight games.

(8) Rams | Rams vs. Packers

We donâ€™t know the status of Matthew Stafford. But the Rams wonâ€™t need to score too many points going up against a Packers offense that is struggling on all cylinders right now.

(9) Falcons | Vikings vs. Falcons

With Kirk Cousins out for the year and Justin Jefferson still not fully healthy, the Vikings could struggle in the second portion of the season. It sounds like Jameis Winston will be traded to Minnesota. If thatâ€™s the case, the Vikings will be better off than they are now. But itâ€™ll take some time for the chemistry to develop.

(10) Ravens | Seahawks vs. Ravens

The Ravens have been a bit inconsistent this year. But at home, against a solid team like the Seahawks, expect the Ravens to be prepared just like that Lions matchup a couple of weeks ago.

(11) Giants | Giants vs. Raiders

Does anyone really think the Raiders will score points against the Giants this week? If Daniel Jones is healthy, I like New York to scrape by.

(12) Colts | Colts vs. Panthers

The Panthers earned their first win of the season last week. But that wonâ€™t be a common theme throughout the season.

(13) Saints | Bears vs. Saints

The Tyson Bagent experiment was fun. However, the Chicago defense is so bad that it really doesnâ€™t matter what the Bears have on offense. The Saints will thrive offensively in this game.

(14) Browns | Cardinals vs. Browns

It sounds like the Cardinals will give Clayton Tune his first start of his career against the fierce Browns defense. Good luck.
