I am fairly confident GB will win but so many factors going into this game. injuries, new oc, etc.
Many. Not official but very likely no Perry, no Daniels, no Bulaga, no Bahktiari. no Cobb. no Ryan. no House. no Brice. All questionable. Nelson is hurt too but expected to play
So glad I switched to NE at the last minute. Didn't feel good about BAL, DEN, or GB. Going with my gut paid off for onceWhew, what a ROLLERCOASTER of a day!
As I write this, Rodgers has just thrown a Pick6 to go down 21-7 to the Bengals. At the last minute I switched my pick from GB to Philly.I hadn't even thought of them much or seen them mentioned much. But the way the Eagles have been playing, the amount of weapons they've assembled... combined with how absolute RUBBISH the Gints have looked, the Home cooking... it seemed like a good contrarian call in a murky week.
(after I had been searching for news that Janoris Jenkins would be out, but pulled the trigger on it anyway, listed as Questionable).
While watching a few games, I shouted when that 61-yarder snuck over the bar! Then my heart sank as the Texans SOMEHOW, left Cooks open in the end zone (that was 25% of my Pool surviving by their collective butthairs)
So far, a healthy 29% of my pool is gone today (Pitt/Den/Clev/Mia) and I'm suddenly a Bungles fan!
Anyone else have good stories? I will definitely try to be active on this thread going forward (and you gotta love the Eagles going forward if you burned NE today)
Re the Eagles going forward, they have a lot of injuries on defense right now so be mindful of that. They host SF in a few weeks and that is probably the best time to use them.Whew, what a ROLLERCOASTER of a day!

Did the same, switching out the Dolphins for the Packers.
The thing with Atl, is I like them in week 8. It's either them or NE. I don't like the other games that week.
After losing 1/2 last week(thanks Miller for your dumb penalty)..I can't take any more chances.
Yeah, I just don't see Seattle losing at home against the Colts with Brissett. They will take Hilton away and there is nobody else who can beat them. Should be a double digit win at home.
pretty much sold on SEA as well.
I saw somewhere that the Seahawks have not lost at home in September since Pete Carrol became HC. I'm strongly leaning Seattle this week.
I'm kinda thinking the same way. I've burned up PIT, OAK, GB, and now SEA and I am all right with it. The NFL is incredibly unpredictable. But I think the picture takes shape as the middle of the season arrives. You can tell a little bit easier who is fighting for the playoff spots and who is fighting for the draft picks. You're maybe burning up a lot of obvious 2 TD favorites right now but they'll be some teams that will surprise that you can pick against teams like the Jets (but even that isn't a given, thanks Miami). It's called a Survivor pool for a reason.
Yeah, a good chunk of folks have used GB already. 80 of 300 in my pool used them in week 3.
Interesting. I'm in the exact same boat (first strike on double elimination), and I went with Seattle for the exact same reason. But I think GB is also a solid pick.
I'm likely wrong, because I was so anti GB last week, almost equally anti Seattle this week.
Yeah, I don't disagree with anything you're saying. There's always risk, and they haven't looked right so far this year. I just don't see them laying an egg in a primetime home game coming off a loss.
FWIW I had SEA penciled in for this week to start the season. I agree completely. I don't see GB being usable ROS, but I do see Seattle a bit more usable
Actually GB is coming off a close win but I'm with you on the Pack tonight. My only fear is if the Bears can get to Rodgers consistently (2 starting OTs are out) and then can control the clock with Cohen and Howard.
I know you're likely talking about recent history, but I found this stat interesting...
Yep, and I was hanging on by the seat of my pants last week. Wouldn't called this a lock for them winning. Chicago isn't as bad as everyone thought.
