2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence Pools Strategy & Advice: Week 15 Predictions

NFL Week 15 has arrived which means it’s time to make those picks for our 2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence Pools. 

We have a fantastic match-up to start the week as the Los Angeles Rams head north to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. There’s a lot going on in this game as the 49ers backfield situation remains a bit of a mystery right now. 

They’ve lost Christian McCaffrey, they’ve lost Jordan Mason and last week, they lost Isaac Guerendo to a foot sprain. But recent reports indicate that Guerendo could play, so we could see a shared backfield with him and Patrick Taylor. 

How will that affect our picks for 2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence pools? Probably not as much as you think. Despite the Rams beating the Bills and the question marks surrounding the 49ers on offense, San Francisco is still favored by three. Vegas is telling me exactly what I need to know. The rest of my picks are below.

2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence Pools Strategy For Week 15

I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record here, but the general confidence pool advice and strategy is the same from here on out. Your place in the standings of your 2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence pool is what matters most. 

Near the top? My standard confidence pool advice is to simply lean into the chalk. We continue to see a lot of favorites walk away with the win over the past few weeks, so keep your place in the standings and lean into it.

Are you in the middle of the pack? If so and you feel like you can still move up, you’re going to have to continue taking some chances. Be honest with yourself. Be objective. The time for hoping and wishing is gone. 

It’s Week 15 after all. If you truly think you can move into the money, maybe increase the confidence level of some of the less-chalky picks and see if you can move up. If you don’t think so, then keep reading as we can alter our strategy.

If you’re at the bottom, you should have checked your 2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence pool rules to see if there is a second-half prize or even a weekly payout to chase. With everyone near the top leaning into the chalk, your chances of moving that far up are probably pretty slim. If you can steal a weekly payout or two over the next few weeks, chances are you can finish the season in the black. 

Last week, we went 11-2 with our picks and came pretty close to winning the week. If there is no weekly payout, then use these final few weeks to practice and see what changes in your process are potentially needed.

NFL Pick Em Confidence Pools Advice

In truth, there is not much more to add to my current confidence pool advice other than what you just read. At the top, you want to wait for some real good games to try and make a move with a contrarian pick. 

In the middle, it’s about adjusting your confidence levels on some picks that could go either way – maybe games like Thursday’s Rams/49ers or Panthers/Cowboys, for example. Or even the Dolphins/Texans where I’m looking at a potential upset.

If you don’t think you can finish top-10 then it’s time to look for other ways to make money off the pool. Most have a weekly payout, so lean into it. Here are my picks for Week 15 of your 2024 NFL Pick Em Confidence pools.
