Football fans love to show off their knowledge of the NFL, and one of the most popular ways to do so is by making NFL office pool picks. Creating an NFL office pool strategy requires more than just figuring out which teams are most likely to win each week, though. The goal is to beat your opponents, so you might need to pick more aggressively in larger pools and more conservatively in smaller ones. There are also variations of football office pools, including straight-up, against the spread and confidence.
The Week 1 NFL schedule presents immediate challenges for NFL office pool players, with only one team favored by more than a touchdown in the Week 1 NFL odds. Some of the difficult games to predict include the Eagles (-2) vs. Packers, Colts (+2) vs. Texans and Browns (-2.5) vs. Cowboys. If you're up for it, CBS Sports has the perfect game to keep you locked in all season long .

Get football picks for every game from a proven NFL model
We'll give you one team to consider backing during the NFL's opening week. SportsLine's advanced computer model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is predicting the New Orleans Saints to take care of business at home against the Carolina Panthers .
New Orleans finished the 2023 regular season with a top 10 scoring offense, averaging 23.6 points per game. The Saints have most of their key weapons back alongside quarterback Derek Carr, including Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. Carolina had the fourth-worst scoring defense in the NFL last year, and the Panthers did not make any major improvements on that side of the ball.
They also had the league's second-worst scoring offense, so it is going to take more than one offseason to turn things around. Carolina enters the season on a nine-game road losing streak, and it is 4-11 in its last 15 games against New Orleans. The model is confident that the Saints will open the season with a win, projecting that they win in almost 80% of simulations. Join a pool now to lock in your picks .
