Koerner’s NFL Pick ‘Em Rankings: Best Week 14 ATS Bets & Straight-Up Picks

Whether you're playing pick'em in our app or going old school with your co-workers, you can follow my straight-up and against-the-spread pick 'em confidence ratings throughout the season for the best options each week.

Let's quickly run through my methodology, then dig into my ratings for Week 14 complete with a downloadable spreadsheet you can use to generate custom ratings if your pool is using different odds than what we have here.

NFL Week 14 Pick 'Em Confidence Ratings Methodology

These confidence ratings are based on my NFL power ratings.

To calculate my power ratings each week, I factor in home-field advantage, travel, injuries, personnel changes and any news that could impact odds to come up with what I feel the "true" odds are for every matchup.

In theory, sportsbooks' lines should be fairly close. But we can use any differences to exploit the best SU and ATS picks (or know when to avoid certain teams/games).

Now let's start with my straight-up ratings for Week 14 then wrap it up with ATS.

Custom Confidence Ratings

Your league might be using different odds, in which case,you'll want to click this link to download my customizable spreadsheet and plug in the right odds.
