The season is winding down and the chance to make up ground in office pools is running thin in some cases. Meanwhile, other contests are just reaching the climax. Don’t make your picks alone! I have you covered with my picks for Confidence Pool, Survivor and Against the Spread and all of your Week 14 Office Pool Picks.
Here are my picks for this week ahead in the various polls:
CONFIDENCE POOL
16 Patriots at MIA
15 Chargers vs. WAS
14 Cowboys vs. NYG
13 Vikings at CAR
12 Steelers vs. BAL
11 Eagles at LAR
10 Bengals vs. CHI
09 Chiefs vs. OAK
08 Saints at ATL
07 Lions at TB
06 Jets at DEN
05 Jaguars vs. SEA
04 Packers at CLE
03 49ers at HOU
02 Titans at ARI
01 Bills vs. IND
SURVIVOR PICK
Each week I’ll offer up my “playing it safe” and my “out on the limb” pick for your elimination pool:
Playing it safe – Chargers
If you didn’t use them last week, what are you waiting for? Phillip Rivers is red hot. They’ve won three in a row and have now found themselves back in mix for AFC West. The defense should be able to contain Kirk Cousins and company enough and the offense will be too much for a reeling Redskins’ defense.
Out on a limb – Cowboys
Going with a road team in a conference matchup is not a strategy I endorse often. However, it’s Week 14 and the pickings are slim. The Giants are a giant mess right now and the Cowboys have had 10 days to prepare. Dallas seems too easy here.
AGAINST THE SPREAD (31-32-2 on season)
Pick of the Week
Eagles +2
Other Plays to Consider
Saints -2
49ers +3
Under 44 TEN/ARI
Over 47.5 OAK/KC
