This NFL Football Pick’em article is designed to work hand-in-hand with the Football Pick’em Picks tool, which combines public pick rates with our modeling to highlight the highest-value plays for your exact pool settings.

Each week, we outline value targets and how to balance risk and reward across NFL and college pick’em formats. We break down the reasoning behind our recommendations, including when a contrarian stance can create an edge.

We’ll update this page as new information comes in, including injuries, line moves, and shifts in public sentiment.

Here’s what you’ll find so far:

Sunday Rooting Rundown

Our pick recommendations can be for different teams for different types of pools. What we recommend in a season-long can differ from what we recommend in a weekly contest, and spread pools can be a different beast. Even in spread pools, you may have a different pick recommendation than our general numbers, because of the specific numbers available in your pool.

This Week 11 rooting guide offers a general overview of our pick recommendations, and individual results may vary.
