Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 7, 2021 Season
Six teams have their bye this week, which means the max points for the week is a measly 13. To make matters worse, much of this week's slate is given over to match-ups between mediocre (or worse) teams that could go either way. Exercise extreme caution! Week 6 Correct Picks: 9/14 (0.643) Season Total Correct … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 7, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 6, 2021 Season
Fuck Jon Gruden, forever and ever. Also, the NFL must release the other emails from the WFT investigation. I know they won't unless forced to, but that makes it more imperative, not less. On to the picks. Week 5 Correct Picks: 13/16 Season Total Correct Picks: 48/80 Week 5 Points: 115/136 Season Total Points: 429/680 … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 6, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 5, 2021 Season
Important announcement! As I adjust to my new life of stay-at-home fatherhood, it has become clear that I have neither the time nor the energy to do both normal, full-length Confidence Pool column and my normal, full-length Great British Baking Show column at this time. I must choose between the two, and I've chosen to … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 5, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 4, 2021 Season
Oh hey, dare I say that Week 3 was something of a rebound? 11 correct picks and 96 points, and I'm above .500 both in terms of correct picks and total points for the first time all season? I'll take it! Every loss that I did take was foreseeable, and hedged with lower point assignments. … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 4, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 3, 2021 Season
Wild Overreactions, baby! Let's take a look at how much better I did once I set my mind free! What's that? One more correct pick and only two more points than my disastrous Week 1? I spent my entire Week 2 column in service of a stupid, self-indulgent rhetorical gimmick that I only I thought … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 3, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 2, 2021 Season
Alright! Wasn't that an awesome Week 1, everybody? Was that not an excellent reminder of how much fun watching games of professional football is? Is it not one of life's simple pleasures to marvel at the superhuman feats of athleticism on display during each and every snap? Does a full slate of Sunday games not … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 2, 2021 Season
Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 1, 2021 Season
Welcome to the first Confidence Pool column of the season! To those of you familiar with my feeble, doomed attempts to share good pool picks with the world, I hope you're ready to kick back and snicker at my horrendous decision making. Those of you who aren't familiar with the Confidence Pool format are, uh...Welcome! … Continue reading Rob’s NFL Confidence Pool: Week 1, 2021 Season
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC North
Chicago Bears If you're a Bears fan, these are the good times. I'm serious! This period, from the time of Justin Fields' drafting until the time he is named undisputed starter, is the period in which he can serve as a cipher onto whom the fans may project their future hopes with impunity. Once Fields … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – NFC North
The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC North
Baltimore Ravens It's no fun to be the man! You win one unanimous MVP at the helm of a 14-2 season early in your second season (and your first season as the undisputed starter) and all of a sudden everyone expects that you're gonna have unanimous MVP, 14-2 seasons for the rest of eternity. That's … Continue reading The New Parents’ Guide to the 2021 NFL Season – AFC North
