Hi Guys,

I'm in 1st place in a Confidence Pool going into the final week. I have a 4 point lead on 2nd place and a 14 point on 3rd. i'm having some difficulty with the picks this week because of the lack of meaningful games/injuries, etc.

Anyone have any ideas for a good week 17 strategy?

Thanks

I am in a similar situation.

Your lead is minuscule so I don't think there is much of a strategy other than try to get as many games correct as you can. Maybe you can try looking into your opponents' picking histories to get a feel for who they like, but I doubt that'll help much.

Confidence pools are great.

How did you do? I went 11-5 in Week 17 and won the pool by 2 points.

So you went 14-2 in Week 17? That is fantastic.

I missed with Ravens (14), Raiders (13), Colts (11), Dolphins (7) and Seahawks (4).

You guys aren't talking about the same type of pool.

My pool is picking a winner and ranking the winners based on confidence from highest to lowest. So I picked 14 winners correctly but lost my 5 and 10 ranked winners.

Mine is the same thing but against the spread.
