Full list of Week 14 straight-up picks with confidence levels

The NFL is back for Week 14, and for the time being we would appear to be on track for a normal schedule. A week after a couple Covid-19 related adjustments, Week 14 is still set to kick off with Thursday Night Football and conclude with Monday Night Football.

It’s time once again to start picking winners. Each Thursday, I put together a list of straight up picks for the weekly schedule. I’ll have picks against the spread over the weekend, but this is a chance to just pick winners and losers. This year though, I’ve changed up the approach. Instead of simply picking winners and losers, I’m also grouping the picks by confidence — high confidence, medium confidence, low confidence, no confidence.

I had an ugly performance last week, going 7-8. Below I’ve posted all my picks, with my record in that confidence level in parenthesis.

High confidence (41-10)

Titans over Jaguars
Seahawks over Jets

Medium confidence (45-20)

Bucs over Vikings
Chiefs over Dolphins
Cardinals over Giants
Packers over Lions
49ers over Washington
Saints over Eagles

Low confidence (18-25)

Rams over Patriots
Panthers over Broncos
Cowboys over Bengals
Chargers over Falcons
Steelers over Bills
Ravens over Browns

No confidence (15-12)

Bears over Texans
Raiders over Colts
