Making NFL picks is hard, at least for dullards like me. That is readily apparent when taking a look at my Week 1 results. Debuting in the Top 70 out of 81, your boy Corzo raked in a whopping 37 points. Those insufferable Indianapolis Colts backdoor-covered my 16-point confidence bet. *Throws a chair* Why did I put so many confidence points on that game, you ask? Because I don't know; that's why.
Time to cancel my trip to Vegas, I suppose.
Some of you did much better, however, with Barry (The Barry? From Texas?) scoring 98 points, even though he picked just nine games correctly. Those confidence points are important!

I'll keep my confidence points to myself, because I have no idea how to allocate them efficiently. Make sure to make your picks here and here before tonight's deadline! Let me know what you think about my picks and feel free to drop some picks of your own in the Comments. Happy Thursday.
