Week 3 of the NFL concluded, and in Confidence pools, there were some hits and misses. Let’s take a look at the picks made and recommended for Week 3 and see which ones are hits and which ones missed.

A Reminder Of The Rules

For NFL confidence pools, the rules are simple. Rank all 16 games by how confident you feel about each pick. The more confident you are with the pick, gets 16 points you get (Most confident), all the way down to 1 point (Least). Now it’s hard to determine every game because the NFL is unpredictable, but it’s a fun way to boost your confidence.

How Did I Do For Week 3 For Confidence Picks

16. Buffalo Bills – Bills Won Get 16 Points
15. Green Bay Packers – Packers Lost
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Buccaneers Win Got 14 Points
13. Seattle Seahawks * My Survivor Pick For This Week* – Seahawks Win 13 Points
12. Kansas City Chiefs – Kansas City Chiefs Win 12 Points
11. Atlanta Falcons – Falcons Lost
10. Indianapolis Colts – Colts Won Got 10 Points
9. Baltimore Ravens – Ravens Lost
8. Washington Commanders – Commanders Won Got 8 Points
7. Philadelphia Eagles – Eagles Won Got 7 Points
6. San Francisco 49ers – 49ers Won Got 6 Points
5. Houston Texans – Texans Lost
4. Minnesota Vikings – Vikings Win Got 4 Points
3. Los Angeles Chargers – Chargers Won Got 3 Points
2. New England Patriots – Patriots Lost
1. Dallas Cowboys – Cowboys Lost

Total Points Week 1: 106/136
Total Points Week 2: 109/136
Total Points Week 3: 93/136

Worst Pick of The Week

The Packers really were horrendous against the Browns , but that pick makes sense to make at the time, so I have no regrets. I regret taking the Atlanta Falcons at 11 as they once again proved that they are colossal chokers. They barely could score against the Carolina Panthers, and Michael Penix was horrible in that game. He was so bad that Kirk Cousins had to play the rest of the game in the 4th quarter. This exposed the Atlanta Falcons as frauds, and it’s better to be aware of the Falcons. Don’t have confidence in this team until they consistently prove that they can be trusted.

Final Thoughts

Out of the 3 weeks of the 2025 NFL Season, this was my worst week. So many teams disappointed me, and luckily, it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, because there were times I debated picking the opposite side. Now that the time to reflect is over, it’s time to get prepared for Week 4 Survivor and Confidence pool picks on Total Apex Bets & Fantasy will be ready soon.
