Week 1 of the NFL season has come and gone, and now it’s time to look at Week 2 for Confidence picks. Especially when looking at Confidence pools and the best way to navigate them after the return of regular-season football. After all, many fans and analysts overreact to the first week of the season, and they could make wrong decisions when making picks in many leads.

How To Play In Confidence Pools

In confidence pools, it basically means you rank all 16 games by how confident you feel about each pick. 16 points go for your most confident pick, to 1 point for that game where you’re basically flipping a coin and praying. It’s that simple, but it’s super tough to get through.

How Were Confidence Picks Last Week?

Week 1 of the NFL season was a great week for Confidence pools. Out of the 136 points to earn, we got 106 points, which was really solid for the first Week of the NFL Season. The question now is, can that good score be kept up? Who should you go with in the Confidence Pools for this upcoming week? Well, let’s get to the Week 2 confidence pool picks for 2025.

The Reality Check

Here is the thing with Confidence pools: they can be super unpredictable and challenging to pick. Especially in the 2nd week of the season, as the ego is at an all-time high depending on how Week 1 went. Keep cool, calm, and collected, because you never know what will happen in the National Football League. It is the job of the better to keep the momentum going, and while it’s tough, remember to always be confident, but not too much.
