HOW TO WIN YOUR PICK’EM POOL
Straight up, not against the spread
A pick’em pool only cares who wins the game, not by how much, so the right number to rank by is straight-up win probability, which is exactly what the board above does. A team can be a big underdog against the spread and still be the safer straight-up pick.
The favorite isn’t always obvious
Public perception and the betting line both lean toward name-brand teams and recent results. Our model weighs six seasons of play-by-play efficiency instead, which is why our straight-up rankings sometimes differ from the spread favorite, especially on divisional and rivalry games where the public overrates a familiar matchup.
Coin flips decide most pools
Most weeks come down to how you handle the games near 50%, not the easy calls. Treat a coin-flip game as a genuine 50/50 and pick a side you can defend, rather than assuming the model (or anyone else) has a real edge on it.
QUESTIONS
Our most confident Week 6 pick'em pick is the Los Angeles Rams straight up over the Arizona Cardinals, at 82% win probability. Every game on the slate is ranked the same way below.
Each week you pick every game straight up (no point spread), just who you think wins. Most pools score one point per correct pick and tally the season; some weight picks by confidence, which is what our confidence pool page does separately.
A standard pick'em pool only cares who wins, not by how much, so straight-up win probability (what this page ranks by) is the right number to use. We also show the market spread when one is posted so you can see where the market's margin sits, but that number is informational, not a covering prediction.
NoPunt's straight-up pick accuracy is 66.3% across six seasons, every pick graded in public. These pick'em rankings use the same model's win probability for each game. Past results are not a guarantee.
