Confidence Pool - Week 18
by FBG Staff
January 2nd, 2013

This season, we are proud to bring you the return of the Footballguys.com Staff Confidence Pool Challenge. Nineteen staff members will pick the winner of each NFL game, and rank each choice from most confident (16 points) to least (1 point). As a tie-breaker, the person who is closest to the total points scored on the last Monday Night game will be the winner. Winners will be announced from week to week and the best overall record will be crowned Confidence pool Champion. Picks and ranks are due on Wednesday, so any late-breaking news may not be reflected in the choices. Also please note that no point spread is taken into account with these picks – it is a straight up pick of which NFL team will win this week.

Last Week's Results

David Yudkin hung on to a slim lead, and narrowly took this week's top honors with an impressive 14 correct picks. Hicks also had 14 picks, but risked a bit more on the Atlanta game and it ultimately cost him the win. Overall winner Marc Levin missed four games this week, but it was still enough to hand on to the top prize for the season.
