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 15 Office Pool Picks.
Here are my picks for this week ahead in the various polls:
CONFIDENCE POOL
16 Saints vs. NYJ
15 Vikings vs. CIN
14 Jaguars vs. HOU
13 Redskins vs. ARI
12 Seahawks vs. LAR
11 Falcons at TB
10 Ravens at CLE
09 Bills vs. MIA
08 Lions vs. CHI
07 Eagles at NYG
06 Broncos at IND
05 Panthers vs. GB
04 49ers vs. TEN
03 Steelers vs. GB
02 Cowboys at OAK
01 Chargers at KC
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 – Jaguars
Jacksonville is on a mission and their D is going to cause fits for the banged up Texans’ offense. Blake Bortles should also find some success through the air against a defense that has ceded the fourth-most passing touchdowns this season to opposing quarterbacks. Look for the Jags to beat their AFC South foes by double digits in this home tilt.
Out on a limb – Redskins
The Redskins have dropped two straight and four of their last five games, but after playing three of their last four on the road Washington returns home to face a Cardinals’ team on their way to nowhere. Arizona has road wins at Indy and San Fran this year, but they’ve outscored by a 100-to-51 margin in their three other times as visitors in 2017.
AGAINST THE SPREAD (34-34-2 on season)
Pick of the Week
Seahawks -2.5
Other Plays to Consider
Browns +7
49ers -2
Over 53 NE/PIT
Over 44.5 GB/CAR
