Looking to dominate your office pool this season? Eighteen 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 (when bye weeks are happening), 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.
Here are the specifics:
- It lasts for 18 weeks
- Pick every game straight up each week
- Games are weighted; your most confident game would be weighed the most
- If you miss a week, you will be awarded the lowest score for that week minus 1 point
- The total correct picks score will determine standings
- Tiebreaker: number of weeks with the highest score
Last Week's Picks

- LW is the number of points earned last week.

Heavy Favorites
- On paper, this is the most-lopsided week of the schedule, with a whopping 10 teams receiving single-digit confidence points.
- The Rams are the heaviest of heavy favorites as 280 confidence points were given to LA.
- The Chargers, on the other hand, are the lightest unanimous favorites with only 140 confidence points.
Dual Support
- There is but one game with a close split of votes, and it's a 10-10 deadlock. What a barnburner it should be!
- Philadelphia (10 votes) at Detroit (10 votes)
- That contest is also the closest game with regards to confidence points. The staff has allotted 41 points to the visiting Eagles, while a less-confident 28 points were given to the winless Lions.
Odds and Ends
With a 15-game slate this week, having a perfect score will give you 120 total points.
As an additional reminder - these picks and confidence points were made on Wednesday night so that this article may come out well before the Thursday opener. These picks won't be updated as the week progresses, so any late-breaking news will not change the confidence points. If your league allows you to change your picks right up until each NFL game starts, make sure to check the latest news before making your final selections.
Good luck this weekend!
