Staff Confidence Pool (No Spread) Week 14

Will Grant's Staff Confidence Pool (No Spread) Week 14 Will Grant Published 12/06/2018

Looking to dominate your office pool this season? Fifteen Footballguys.com staff members are here to help you out. Each week they will pick the winners of every NFL game, and rank their selections based on how confident they are that the team will win. The most-confident pick gets 16 points, and the least-confident gets just 1. We'll even total up everyone's picks so you can get an overall consensus on who our staff think will be the most likely winners. Each week we'll announce the weekly winners, and track the overall record for the entire season. A couple of things to note before we get to the picks:

  • Picks for this pool are straight up (no point spread considered).
  • Picks are due on Wednesday nights, and will not reflect any late-breaking news. If your league allows for last minute changes, please make adjustments to your office pool accordingly.
  • Our staffers also play in weekly picks Against The Spread, and Survivor Style 'Pick one Winner each week' formats as well. Check out the other weekly articles for more help with those type of games.

RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK

Sometimes it's good to go against the grain. Andy Hicks notched his first weekly win last week with an impressive 97 point performance in a week of big upsets. Andy was the only staffer to pick the Cowboys to upset the Saints on Thursday, and he and Miglio were the only two people to back Jacksonville over the Colts. Hicks and Larkin tied for most correct picks with 11, but Hicks had better confidence point management. Well done.

There were several big upsets this week, with New Orleans, Indianapolis, Green Bay, Chicago, and Carolina all costing the board more than 90 points each. With 136 points possible, upsets of heavy favorites are going to have a big impact.

OVERALL RANKINGS

Larkin extended his lead to 28 points this week, and Pasquino slid back into 4th place with a solid performance from Tuccitto.
