2023 NFL Pick Em Confidence Pools: Week 2 Predictions

NFL Week 2 kicks off tonight with some Thursday Night Football action between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles, so it is time to finalize your entries for whatever betting pools you may have entered. We had a solid first week, though some of the outcomes could have been a little better, but we’re playing the long game. Yes, you can get paid out for winning the week and there will certainly be weeks when we do. But looking at the overall should remain forefront in your mind. If you are new to the Pick'Em Confidence pools, it’s simple -- make your picks for outright winners (not using the spread) then rank the picks 1 through 16 in order of most confident (16 points) to least confident (1 point). Your scores are then added up and usually the most points each week wins a prize while there is also a full-season, overall champion as well. Seems easy enough, right?

In an effort to help you with your pools, I will provide you with my picks each week. In addition to full game breakdowns I do for my own research, I will also use money lines which at least show you how Vegas and the books are leaning. Sometimes the lines offer you a clear-cut decision, but you also need to explore some of the intangibles of each match-up and maybe have more of a gut-feel as to what may happen in a particular game. That’s where ranking your predictions becomes so important. 

Ready for Week 2? Let’s get it!
