NFL office pool pick’em: 2023 final tally

Recapping our staff’s all-time and 2023 NFL season picks.

NFL picks are provided for straight up (moneyline) and against the spread (ATS) NFL pick pools.

Each week’s spread picks are graded by the line as of when the person entered their picks. This will create situations in which a movement of the line can result in two participants having the correct pick but with different teams chosen during an individual game.

Here’s the final recap of the 2023 season and the all-time record tally for moneyline and ATS betting.

The 5 best prop bets for Super Bowl LVIII

The five best NFL player prop bets to make for the upcoming week.

As the hours tick down to the final game of the season, two of the preseason favorites to meet in the Super Bowl will happen when, for the second time in five years, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet for the championship.

For the biggest game of the year, this week’s five prop bets include the biggest stars in the game – two players to go Over their projections, both quarterbacks going Under their stat forecast, and the most prolific postseason scorer of his generation doing it again.

The 5 best bets for Super Bowl LVIII

The five smartest wagers to take to the pay window for Super Bowl LVIII.

In the postseason, those who have bet on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have gone to the pay window many more times than not. As such, many are jumping on the chance of getting the Chiefs and a couple of points. Those who bet against Mahomes in the postseason do so at their own peril as he continues to cement his legacy as one of the GOATs.

That all said, these are the two teams most deserving to be in the biggest game of the year, and the San Francisco 49ers are being viewed by most of the talking heads as being the underdogs. In a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers have many more players in critical positions than the Chiefs. Kansas City has three – Mahomes, Travis Kelce-Swift and Chris Jones. San Francisco has seven – Deebo Samuel, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk on offense and Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw on defense.

As these bets will show, that veteran revenge factor weighs into all of them.

The 5 best prop bets for NFL Conference Championships

The five best NFL player prop bets to make for the upcoming week.

Four teams are going to be cut down to two, and the prop bets highlighted for this week include all four of them. There’s one tight end achieving and one underachieving, a wide receiver with a number too low to pass up and another whose ask is just too high, and Mr. Irrelevant proving his relevance

The 5 best bets for the NFL Conference Championships

The five smartest wagers to take to the pay window for the Conference Championships.

And then there were four.

The AFC and NFC Conference Championship games are upon us and you have storylines-a-plenty coming in. The two top seeds are both healthy favorites, but in the 49 years of playoff seeding since 1975, only 14 Super Bowls have featured the two top-seeded teams – just 28%.

The deletion of one team getting a bye in each conference has played a part in unleveling the playing field. Both No. 1 seeds are the only ones to get a week off, and they played on Saturday at home in the Divisional Round, giving them an additional day of recovery and preparation against teams that have already had to win twice.

The nagging question is whether you believe history will repeat itself two years in a row, and the teams with the bye make it pay off with a trip to the Super Bowl.

The 5 best NFL Divisional Round prop bets

The five best NFL player prop bets to make for the upcoming week.

As the NFL reduces the number of teams that can win the Super Bowl from eight down to four, this week’s prop bet picks touch all four games.

The picks include a rookie sensation putting up numbers (but not a “W”), one San Francisco 49ers receiver scoring a touchdown while another underachieves (again), a veteran running back helping control a game, and a young running back taking his talents on the road in the playoffs for the first time.
