In the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the biggest favorite has lost. The Cincinnati Bengals lost as 7.5-point home favorites against the Patriots in Week 1, while the Baltimore Ravens lost as 8.5-point favorites against the Las Vegas Raiders last week. For anyone making NFL office pool picks, avoiding those big upsets will be a primary objective moving forward, but fading heavy favorites is a risk of its own, particularly in NFL confidence pool picks.
