Hi Chris, sometimes we go on a cold streak… Overall, if you pick 2 money picks they’ll only hit about 25% of the time, and if you pick 3 it’ll be about 12%. The hope is when they hit, they’ll hit big because no one else picks them.
Hi Carl! Thanks for the question!
If you notice, the high risk pick we have both NYJ and CLE as top 2 picks. Both of these picks are underdogs, so it is high risk to be picking both that high. In the some risk category, only NYJ are top pick and everyone else is regular base picks.
CLE is more of an underdog than NYJ, so if we pick them at 14 it’s higher risk (but greater reward) than picking NYJ at 14. Hence, they are “med risk”.
For reference, here is the week 5 page: https://confidencepoolpicks.com/2024/2024-week-5-regular-confidence-pool-picks/
Hi Carl, yes if you’re looking to win the week (vs win the season) you would want to take that risk. I went with Denver for 16 last week in one pool and when they pulled the upset I won the week. You will lose much of the time, but hopefully you’d hit 4-5 times a year and be in the money.

Hey Justin, the pick score is something we’re kinda dabbling with. Still a work in progress. But yes, the higher score would be a better pick by the numbers, but some people still may want to make other picks because they have other info or maybe they know a lot of people in their league are picking them.
Hi Annette, if you’re trying to win the week (vs. win the season) you generally would want to go high with it. Check out this article for details: https://confidencepoolpicks.com/nfl-weekly-confidence-pool-picks-the-basics/
Yeah we’ll look into that… I thought since we had embedded the spreadsheet in this post that it would be copy pasteable, but apparently not!
That is interesting! Let me think about it a bit and see what I can come up with. What platform does this? CBS? Yahoo?
Great to hear Tim! Thanks for the message! I think sometimes people overthink. Need to stick with chalk most of the time.
