Last Man Standing Advice

[Irv]

I’m in a heads up (no point spread) last man standing pool.  I’ve picked 17 straight correctly.  Only two of us left.  One game to go next week.  Here’s who I have available to pick.  Any advice?

 

Texans

Colts

Patriots

Jets

Bengals

Falcons

Panthers

Raiders

Broncos

Chargers

Cardinals

Bears

Packers

Commanders

Giants (Left Them Off Original Post)

How can you have so many teams left?

Presumably they pick one per week.

32 teams in the NFL

17 weeks of picks done

15 teams remaining to be picked.

😆... Math not my strong suit. 

The League I was in eliminated both teams. I was out after 7 weeks.

I would try for a split lol...

 

 

That said I always like to pick home teams.

 

Browns don't have anything to play for so id lean the bengals.

Packers are home playing the Bears. If they win, they clinch a playoff spot. They were also in the same spot last year vs Detroit and lost so be careful taking GB.

Jets - I'm always leery of away teams.  Commanders?  Against the Cowboys???

I've talked about a split but I've been doing a lot of trash talking on the pool's message board so the other guys aren't interested.  I'm considering the Bengals.

How many teams started?

Logic probably says Pack but I don’t really like that one.  Not sure why.  I know they’re on the road but I think the Texans are going to curb stomp the Colts.  I also think the Pats will win.  Cardinals I’d take if forced because I think they will play spoiler but I wouldn’t feel great.  
 

If I’m in your spot and have to pick one…..Texans.  If you need home team….Pats.

Patriots

 

for one thing that franchise may as well help a brother out.  Secondly they played our team hard and their D is legit.

 

It's as good a guess as any.

 

I will share glory points with 4merper4mer  if we are right 🙂

Detroit was good last year. The Bears are the same old Bears.

 

[Jauronimo]

All of those options suck.  Raiders?

Belichick hates the jets.  I would be very leery taking them against the pats.

 

Definitely not the commanders when a win for the cowboys clinches the division.

 

All just imo of course lol

[frostbitmic]

I'd either go Packers because they need a win for the playoffs and the Bears are bad...

 

Or just flip a coin for the Colts/Texans game ... I think I'd go Colts, maybe it's just the Minshew mania.

 

The Jests knocked me out week #1.

[Johnny Hammersticks]

I’d go Packers or Texans.

[Just Jack]

Chargers maybe, word is the Chiefs may rest the starters since it doesn't matter if they win or lose in regard to their playoff seeding.

@Just Jack can tell you. Don't do anything I say.

I very much appreciate everyone's feedback!  I just checked and my competition has the Bengals left too.  If I had to guess they will pick them.  So, I am asking myself.  Self.  How greedy do I want to be? 

 

Outright, I would win $1600.  Split only $800 and a lot of trash talk and bragging rights down the tube.  Also seeing Cleveland has lots of injuries to current starters (those not on IR).  Cincinatti has none.   Good thing is, that my competitors work for me and are really good folks.  So, losing would not be that bad considering my investment is a grand total of $20.     

 

It's a corundum.

where is Nostradamus when we need him.   He ain't here that's for sure.
