BLZFAN4LIFE Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Once again looking for opinions on this week's matchups. I'm one of three left in my survivor pool. Some close games this week and I just have a bad feeling that my strongest available plays might be due for a let down. Remember, point spreads do not matter, I just need a straight up winner. Teams that I can't pick... Chiefs, Chargers, Panthers, Vikings, Packers and Bengals. That leaves among others, Saints over Philly Steelers over Jax Texans over Washington Cardinals over Raiders Falcons over Cowboys Bears over Vikings Nothing seems to jump out at me this week. The Saints are a big favorite and at home, but the Eagles are the defending SB champs with thier back against the wall. Arizona came off of their bye and looked respectable in KC, they host Oakland who may not even want to win games. Steelers going into Jacksonville who has been struggling after a decent start to the season. Is Pittsburgh due for a bad game? Will the Jaguars D show up for this game? Anyway, everyone's 2 cents will be appreciated!
buffaloboyinATL Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Eagles secondary is bad right now and Brees will pick them apart. I'd go Saints. 1

KD in CA Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Saints at home is pretty secure. Eagles Super Bowl hangover isn't going away. Steelers would seem a safe bet vs a floundering Jax team, but road games are tricky. My third choice would be Cardinals at home against Oakland. 1
BuffaloBillies Posted November 15, 2018 Posted November 15, 2018 Saints or Steelers. Why have you only picked 6 teams so far? Did you have a re-start after week 4 cuz everyone had already lost?

I took San Francisco against Oakland two weeks ago.

Happy Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Take the Steelers. They're playing well and not missing LeVeon Bell. Jax is really struggling. 1
TheBrownBear Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 The best thing you can do is put it behind you and move forward with your life. Maybe try therapy if you're stuck. 1

CommonCents Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 When you make it that far in a pool just go with your first instinct. Goodluck. 1
Rc2catch Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 I’d be nervous about Pittsburgh.. Jags have owned them. I mean Pitts should blow them out, but after last year that matchup scares me. Me personally I’m taking the saints all day long. If I was forced for something else I’m taking the Texans over Washington. Redskins are just a fluke to me. (also I generally suck at picking games lol) 1

Expand My first instinct this week was Arizona. Upon closer review Oakland actually has better defensive statistics. Oakland has played the Chargers twice and kept it pretty close both times. Both of Arizona's wins came against SF. But you have to wonder if Oakland is merely playing for the #1 overall pick. If that's the case, they certainly don't want to beat a 2-7 team. The game is in Arizona and one thing I find intriguing is that the money line is -$220. for the Cards.
