NFL Week 14 Confidence Pool Picks & Predictions (2024)
In Week 13, we finished 13-3 with our picks straight up. However, every team with a better record ended up winning last week, so going 13-3 wasn’t as big of a feat.
Still, we’re 124-71 with all of our picks and have accumulated 1108 confidence points. We’ve also reached the 83.6 percentile, ranking just above 15,000 via ESPN.
Here are my picks for Week 14.
NFL Confidence Pool Picks
(1) Cowboys | Bengals vs. Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have won two consecutive games over divisional rivals. I wouldn’t be shocked if the Cowboys won a third straight at home against an underachieving Bengals squad.
(2) Jaguars | Jaguars vs. Titans
Mac Jones kind of cooked as Trevor Lawrence’s backup last week. He’ll likely get another opportunity to start against the Titans.
(3) Chiefs | Chargers vs. Chiefs
The Chiefs will likely win, but it won’t be easy despite being at home. It’ll be another one-score victory for the Chiefs.
(4) Lions | Packers vs. Lions
I can’t pick against the hottest team in football. However, the Lions almost lost last week’s game to the Bears and have had some side drama with play calls getting leaked out. I’ll sit them at the No. 4 confidence slot.
(5) Falcons | Falcons vs. Vikings
We’ve got Kirk Cousins going up against his former team in a pretty big game for the Falcons if they want to make the playoffs. Sign me up.
(6) Cardinals | Seahawks vs. Cardinals
This should be another tight divisional game. Give me the home team, despite Seattle’s recent success.
(7) Steelers | Browns vs. Steelers
The Browns have an impressive offense behind Jameis Winston. However, Russell Wilson proved last week that he and the Steelers can put up crooked numbers on offense, too.
(8) 49ers | Bears vs. 49ers
No matter how bad it’s gotten for the 49ers, it’s been worse for the Bears, who just lost a game to the Lions, thanks to clock mismanagement and poor communication.
(9) Saints | Saints vs. Giants
The Giants are looking at the No. 1 draft pick at this point.
(10) Bills | Bills vs. Rams
The Buffalo Bills look unstoppable right now. They’ll get to warm up in a game against Los Angeles. They’ll appreciate it.
(11) Buccaneers | Raiders vs. Buccaneers
Tampa Bay will be a playoff team. I’ve been saying it for a month now. To do that, they’ll need to knock off the Raiders this weekend.
(12) Eagles | Panthers vs. Eagles
I’m concerned with Philadelphia’s receiving corps. However, Saquon Barkley is everything to the Eagles, and the defense has played really well throughout the season.
(13) Dolphins | Jets vs. Dolphins
The Jets are a mess.
