Full list of Week 16 straight-up picks with confidence levels
We make picks for all 16 NFL games with levels of confidence ahead of Week 16.
Saturday NFL football is upon us! Week 16 brings the first of three straight weeks of Saturday action. It’s a busy week as the playoff picture comes further into focus, and it’s actually possible for all seven playoff teams in the AFC to be finalized by the end of Sunday.
This comes a week removed from the Vikings, Steelers, and Texans all punching their ticket to the postseason. Seeding remains to be sorted out with division titles still on the line, but the picture is clearing up. We had very few upsets in Week 15, and I managed a solid week with my confidence picks. It went 12-4, although notably, I switched out my Raiders pick for the Falcons on Monday morning. But we’ll count it as a loss since that’s what was published.
We’re back now for Week my weekly confidence picks. Below is my full list of picks for Week 14. A game with three asterisks (***) after it indicates a game where I’m picking the betting underdog to get the win. Last week, I split my four upset picks. This week, I’ve got five upset picks on the books!
