Staff Game Picks, Week 18

Footballguys Staff's Staff Game Picks, Week 18 Footballguys Staff Published 01/07/2022

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 thinks 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

  • Correct picks are in bold.
  • LW is the number of points earned last week.
  • YTD is the number of points earned this season.
