WTH are you talking about?Yeah, will probably ride KC one more week. Other options are GB vs Miami, Jets vs Buffalo and SF vs NYG. If KC were unavailable, I would probably rank it Jets/GB/SF, but none are good enough Ds to get excited about.
If your ability to make roster moves is limited and you need to pick up one team now to carry you for the next few weeks, there's always Indy (Jax/Tenn/Miami/@Jax)
Oops, got the Survivor thread mixed up with the streaming D thread. I guess because there is frequently so much overlap. ?WTH are you talking about?
Ah. gotcha. Now your post makes sense. lol (and I agree)Oops, got the Survivor thread mixed up with the streaming D thread. I guess because there is frequently so much overlap. ?
To make up for it, here are my thoughts on next week's survivor pick:Ah. gotcha. Now your post makes sense. lol (and I agree)
Of the three teams you listed there, I have only used KC, but I am not sure I want to use the other two this week.zftcg said:To make up for it, here are my thoughts on next week's survivor pick:
If you've already used up KC/NE/LAC, you're screwed![]()
Seriously, NE is my only plausible option. If I make it to Week 11, things are going to start getting really tricky.
Both of the other teams in my group have picked GB already, 1 has not picked KC and the other has. That means I will likely take GB and save KC for week 13Of the three teams you listed there, I have only used KC, but I am not sure I want to use the other two this week.
Chargers break two of my guidelines. 1. They are on the road. 2. Its a divisional game. Raiders suck hard, but I try really hard not to pick divisional games, and definitely not the road team.
NE only breaks the rule of being on the road, but Ten is that team that I never want to pick, but I also don't want to pick against (kinda like the AFC version of the Giants). NE should win that game going away, but Tennessee has enough of a team that I don't want to pick against them at home, even the Patriots. (full disclosure, I am still thinking on this and it may be the way I go) Weeks get tougher after this, and it'd be nice to have NE as an option, but that won't matter if I am out of it.
The team I am considering is Green Bay. Yeah, they are 3-4-1 and the Dolphins are 5-4. I never expect to pick a team with a losing record over a team with a winning record, but it fits the other requirements. Its a non-conference game, and the Packers are at home. Could be cold weather, which I am guessing is not good for the South Beach squad. And looking closer at the records, the Dolphins have 5 wins, 1 on the road (NYJ) and 4 at home (Ten, Oak, Chi, NYJ). Only team in that group I'd call a decent team is Chicago. The 4 losses, 1 at home (Det) and 3 on the road (NE, Cin, and Hou). All teams that are currently looking at the playoffs on the road, but the home loss to Detroit is ugly for the resume.
Green Bay has 3 wins, all at home (Chi, Buf, and SF). They tied a good Min team in GB, and have 4 losses. The losses are all on the road (WAS, DET, LAR, NE). Those are some quality teams, excepting Det.
The both beat Chicago and lost to Detroit and NE.
I don't see a clear cut differentiation between the two teams, to be honest. The Packers don't look right, but they have played some quality opponents. Miami looks ugly on the road, and competent at best when home.
Maybe I am trying to talk myself into this, but I just think I will take Aaron Rodgers at home over a team that hasn't shown it can go on the road and play decent football. Only other place I can see using GB is week 13 against Arizona. NE would be used week 16 against Buffalo. I know its presumptive to think I will still be in it then, but in the contest I am in, it will go all 17 weeks, so getting knocked out week 10 is no different than getting knocked out week 16. There are 2-3 options I like week 13 besides GB, but really the only option I like for week 16 is NE.
Green Bay is my pick, but like every week after week 2, I'm nervous about it.
This is on my list as well. I'm just not sure I feel better about that than a hot team like ATL over a struggling team like DAL. Depends how Dallas looks tonightWeek 11 is definitely looking like the one I will have trouble with. I will seriously consider picking Arizona over Oakland.![]()
Wait. So from your earlier posts, does that mean you are the SOLE SURVIVOR??? Winner winner, big steak dinner??
I still plan to comment as long as others are still fighting, but my group is done!
Yes. 4 teams left. I took CHI. One took SEA. Two took DAL. Winner winner ??️Wait. So from your earlier posts, does that mean you are the SOLE SURVIVOR??? Winner winner, big steak dinner?
Awesome!! Nice job, good sir.Yes. 4 teams left. I took CHI. One took SEA. Two took DAL. Winner winner ??️
I would be with GB as well. They won't lose this gameAwesome!! Nice job, good sir.
I advanced using Chicago as well. Tennessee knocked about 2000 more out of the Fanduel contest, so we are down to 8317.
It gets really tough from here on out, but I'm sticking with Green Bay this week.
No! Went with CAR then KC....still alive!!!hope you didn't go in this direction
Same here and I hate it!Taking the Saints at home against the Eagles.
I'm right there with you. I make my pick on Tuesdays, and it can't be changed once locked in. This stops me from second guessing myself.l'm saving the Saints for another day, and rolling with Arizona. They appear to be playing with effort for new OC Byron Leftwich.
huge bulletYou Pittsburgh guys dodged a bullet...
For week 12, I think a lot of people will be on Dallas at home against the Skins. Dallas is currently -8.
I'd say this week is very even. BAL has more potential options in the future ... TB week 15, CLE week 17. IND only has NYG week 16.Trying to decide between
Baltimore at home vs the Raiders
The Colts at home vs the Dolphins
Down to 2 now. 1 took Ariz for their 1st loss and other 2 knocked out with Car and Atl. Other team has more good teams left so would take a split if offered.Took my first loss last week (NE) so 1 more and I'm out. 4 teams left only 1 with no losses. I'm going Saints.
Leaning Dallas now, with TEN, CAR, BAL, IND, and SEA on (tentative) deck for weeks 13-17I'd say this week is very even. BAL has more potential options in the future ... TB week 15, CLE week 17. IND only has NYG week 16.
Yeah, I’m seriously thinking about switching to DAL today.Leaning Dallas now, with TEN, CAR, BAL, IND, and SEA on (tentative) deck for weeks 13-17
Nope. Staying with IND.bryhamm said:Yeah, I’m seriously thinking about switching to DAL today.
I went with Indy too. Don't trust the Cowboys.Nope. Staying with IND.
Leaning HOU at home over CLE.Survived with Dallas. Week 13 does not look terrible. What are you guys thinking?
They're 0-6 on the road, 4-0-1 at home. I'd say they're a pretty safe pick this week, but not a slam dunk.GB would scare the piss outta me. They are just not very good lately.
