Anyone interested in discussing picks for NFL Survivor pools? (1 Viewer)

Really don't want to go with a 2-4 Chargers team, but I think that is where I'm leaning. Could go Detroit but would like to save for week 11 against Chicago.

 

[fantasy stud]

I'm debating between the Chargers and Bills. The Chargers feel like they could lose this game. I'm pretty sure the Bills will be motivated at home and the Bucs have to travel on a short week.

I would go with the Bills if I still had them available

I went with the Bills

I am trying to work up the stones to go Chargers too and save Miami for week 13.

Week 9 is going to be the toughest.

Yeah, originally I planned on using Cle vs Ariz but that's a little scary now so may go Balt over Seat instead.

I would do that if I had Balt available. Rolling with Cleveland and hoping to make it through, as I have a bunch of good teams to roll out the next few weeks after that. Of course the whole thing can just blow up in your face. This pool is down to 17 teams and the pot is 20K

 

[zoonation]

what do people think about the Colts vs Carolina in week 9?

 

[tuffnutt]

Going Buffalo in one league and Chargers in another... dont feel good about either

 

[Raging weasel]

If you forced me to pick I'd go Colts but would avoid this game. You have to have at least 1 better option.
Only time I'd consider it is if it's a 2 loss pool and you still don't have any.

 

[massraider]

All in with the Bills Tonight. let's go

There really isn’t anything great in week 9. Maybe Steelers against a tanking Titans team?

 

[ChiefD]

I think I may go Lions this week. I always try and pick the game with the least amount of risk and worry about next week next week.

If that new Bears QB is something special I’m not sure I want to risk it on a Chargers team that can easily Charger it up. Still thinking though.

 

[ChiefD]

Going with the Lions.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

was on the chargers all week. going ravens

 

[kupcho1]

Cowboys did their part today. On to the Browns v Cardinals.

 

[Rustoleum]

Down to 2 in my small league. Survived with the Ravens this week, the other guy went Lions, so I’m in wait and see mode.

Never a doubt!

 

[Chaz McNulty]

Week 9 looks tough.

The spread on all but 3 games are starting at 3-1/2 or less.

Best plays are:

Baltimore -5 vs Seattle.
Cleveland -8 vs Arizona
New Orleans -6 vs Chicago

Cleveland looks to be the safest. I also like New Orleans. Baltimore is the best team in the group, but Seattle might be the 2nd best.

Hedge your bet with a bookie/vegas

 

[need2know]

Browns or steelers this week prob browns

 

[McBokonon]

1. Commanders
2. Cowboys
3. Chiefs
4. Niners
5. Dolphins
6. Rams
7. Seahawks
8. Bills

Not sure yet but if we’re ever going to use the Raiders, playing at home against the Giants who will likely be running wildcat with Vinny from Queens at QB after flying cross-country might be our chance.

ETA: This is assuming Tyrod’s injury didn’t release a magic healing paste that suddenly makes Daniel Jones better, but even then it’s worth considering.

 

[kupcho1]

if we’re ever going to use the Raiders

 

[tuffnutt]

anyone considering Atlanta over a Cousinless Vikings team?

 

[massraider]

With next week's slate, we don't get to dismiss anyone.

 

[bryhamm]

Browns or steelers this week prob browns

I don't care who they are playing, you should not be picking the Steelers in a survivor pool.

And this coming from a Steelers fan.

 

[jamny]

Going with Cleveland

 

[McBokonon]

I am. But I’ll be an indecisive mess until Saturday night, as usual. I like that Heinicke is starting.

 

[ChiefD]

Ravens
Buffalo
KC
San Fran
Philly
Miami
Seattle
Lions

Thinking Saints this week

 

[tuffnutt]

Cleveland or Saints will be my pick

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Saints seem likely

 

[massraider]

So I subscribe to these guys, Team Rankings, and they generally are pretty good at predicting which teams will be most popular.

This week they are predicting/estimating that 84% of people will be on CLE (50%) and NO (34%).

I already used CLE so I am probably gonna go ATL or LAC and hope for a bloodbath

 

[bryhamm]

Going with Cleveland

Wife is torn between them and NO. She has a couple decent picks ready for the next 2 weeks after this. Just has to get through this week.

 

[2Young2BBald]

Been lurking as I am a huge believer in the jinx, but thought I would finally bookmark this thread with my picks!

BAL
DAL
KC
SF
MIA
BUF
SEA
LAC

and, already texted CLE as my pick for this week. SurvivorGames favors NO over CLE, but the Bears do strange things and they just upgraded their D.

 

[shuke]

Cleveland or Saints will be my pick

Same. And hopefully I'll be around to take the opposite week 15.

 

[Raging weasel]

I may have a head injury, I'm seriously thinking of using the Colts

 

[ChiefD]

Cleveland or Saints will be my pick

Taking another look at Cleveland. If there was ever a week to pick them this is it I think.

Does Arizona actually have a QB anymore?

 

[fantasy stud]

I'm going with the Falcons this week. In Taylor Heinke I trust!!

 

[McBokonon]

I'm going with the Falcons this week. In Taylor Heinke I trust!!

I think I am, too. May God have mercy on our souls.

Wife is switching from NO to CLE.

The AZ rookie qb took reps with the starters, while kyler took reps with the backups. But, AZ has not named a starter yet.

With no Drake London, I’m switching out to the Browns.

I did the same.

 

[eoMMan]

Cleveland....Yeah buddy!!!

For Week 10, I'm definitely going with Dallas. Huge home favorites against the Giants who just lost Daniel Jones. After losing that game against the Eagles, Dallas will be fired up.

If you don't have Dallas, maybe go with Cincy. They are 8 point home favorites against Houston and they looked great last night against Buffalo. Houston did play well yesterday though with that thrilling comeback against the Buccaneers. Small chance of an upset here but it's a fairly small chance.

[jamny]

Already used Dallas. Think I'm going with Cincy

 

[2Young2BBald]

Same, no other choice even close IMO. Texted The Bengals as my pick already as I have used:

BAL
DAL
KC
SF
MIA
BUF
SEA
LAC
CLE

 

[ChiefD]

Ravens
Buffalo
KC
San Fran
Philly
Miami
Seattle
Lions
Saints

Looking at Dallas or Cincy. That Cincy game makes me a little nervous due to the Stroud factor and maybe let down factor after a Sunday night win against the Bills.

Leaning Dallas at the moment.

 

[Raging weasel]

Wash
NYG
KC
Den
Det
Rams
Seat
Chargers
Indy

Going with Bills at home vs Denver, schedule gets brutal after this

 

[DA RAIDERS]

i have saints and bengals to choose from

 

[Rustoleum]

Ravens
Buffalo
KC
San Fran
Philly
Miami
Seattle
Lions
Saints

Chase’s back is hurting too.

 

[McBokonon]

I still have the Ravens so leaning them over the Bengals. And then Lions likely next week.

 

[tuffnutt]

Balt
Dallas
KC
49ers
DET
Miami
Seattle
Buffalo
Cleveland

Cincy is probably the play for me this week... hope Stroud comes back to Earth.
