BLZFAN4LIFE Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Having a hard time making my survivor pick. A lot of tight matchups this week. A few games featuring terrible teams. I just don't have a strong feeling on any of them. Thinking about the Redskins at home. I haven't used N.E. yet, but Seattle has a pretty good defense and I think the Pats are due for a letdown. I can't use the teams in lowercase. No point spread involved. Suggestions (with analysis) would be appreciated. hou @ JAX L.A. @ JETS G.B. @ TEN MIN @ WASH atl @ PHIL den @ N.O. K.C. @ CAR. CHI @ T.B. mia @ S.D. dal @ PITT S.F. @ ariz SEA. @ N.E. cin @ NYG It's an $880 dollar pot and 7 people left. Two already won on Thursday night.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Green Bay over Tennessee imo. Good luck!
Coastie Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Tampa Bay is getting healthy, Winston is practicing, Evans cleared protocol and even Doug Martin made an appearance in practice. It may be that I just can't imagine a second good game from Cutler and Bears backup offensive linemen but I think Tampa wins this one.
section122 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 My rules for survivor: Avoid division games as they are tricky and can go either way Avoid road teams if at all possible. Unfortunately that would lead me to suggest the Jets over the Rams.
CommonCents Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Don't over think it. We hate the Patriots, I know I have a hard time picking them too. They are playing a wounded Seattle team who is traveling cross country on a short week. Brady is going to torch them and the Pats D is more disciplined than we are. Russel won't be getting those easy chunk plays. Pats win this by 10. Seattle's Oline is garbage and CMike is one of the worst starting RB's playing Sunday.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I like TB a little bit. Washington or the Jets makes some sense too. I'd be careful using any road teams. Even bad teams in the NFL win a few games (with the possible exception of Cleveland). The majority of those winnable games are played at home (at least I would think). TB would be who I would use in your shoes. Edited November 11, 2016 by Kirby Jackson
CommonCents Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Winston is 9-15 as a starter and Chicago beat the Bucs last year in Tampa. I love Winston and Evans but I'm not putting my money in his hands. This will also be Doug Martins first game in over a month.

I also couldn't bet against the Seahawks as they are money in November and on prime time (even if the league helps a bit).
Andrew Son Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 I'm going with NE in mine. NE off a bye and Seatle has a short week, they are beat up and it's a west to east coast game. Was thinking about using Balt last night, now wishing I did...

I also couldn't bet against the Seahawks as they are money in November and on prime time (even if the league helps a bit). Pats were 7.5 point favorites when I looked earlier in the week. Don't let your heart enter into the gambling arena it gets very costly very fast. Patriots are hands down the best team in the NFL and with Seattle coming east and leavening Bennett and Rawls at home...no way. Never mind it's a short week for them.
thebandit27 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Wait, you haven't used NE and aren't picking them at home against an NFC team that just played a very physical game on a Monday night and will travel 3,000 miles for what will feel like a 9 a.m. game to them? Pick the Pats.
4merper4mer Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 That is a tough week. Good luck no matter what you do. I agree with those say NE is at an advantage but they have had some losses to NFC teams unexpectedly if you look back. It may be they put more focus into games that wouldn't hurt their tiebreaker scenarios. I can see: NE CAR WASH JETS I see danger in each of those. I added Carolina to the list because they seem to me to be getting hot and they are at home. KC is not the easiest of opponents though. Other teams I think will win but are even dicier: SD - I think Miami's run will be over soon....this week? Jax - I don't like them but I think Hou stinks TB - What everyone else said NYG - Cincy just ok but NYG not great. I think they'll win but no way would I play this one.

Pick the Pats. It's the Sunday night game
Andrew Son Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 No one like Arizona at home over SF? Looks like he already used them
plenzmd1 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Looks like he already used them Argh..read that wrong...thought lower case he COULD use
pi2000 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) San Diego If it wasn't for a few miraculous comebacks, the Chargers would be 6-3 and quite possibly 7-2. Joey Bosa has changed their defense. They've won 3 of the last 4, including wins against Denver and Atlanta. The Dolphins have played their last 4 games at home, winning their last two by a combined 7 points. They are 0-3 on the road, losing those games by a combined 24 points. San Diego haven't given up a 100yd rusher all season and rank 5th in rushing yards allowed per game. If Miami struggles to run the ball, Tannehill will be forced to throw. On the flip side, Miami has the leagues 30th ranked rushing defense going up against Melvin Gordon who ranks 3rd in rushing in the NFL. I like the Chargers in a rout.

DasNootz Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Do you have any idea who the other remaining players are taking?
iinii Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I'm going with NE in mine. NE off a bye and Seatle has a short week, they are beat up and it's a west to east coast game. Was thinking about using Balt last night, now wishing I did... Agreed on both counts and would add S.D. to the mix. West Coast teams do well in East Coast night games but not this week.
