I got both mine thru with Colts and Titans

We only had three people lose. All Bengals.

Use the Rams. They are home against JAX. You will need ATL later.

I was looking at the Jags schedule and thought if they were gonna surprise anyone it would be the rams

Hell f***ing no am I taking the Rams.

Yeah I mapped it out for the season and I have the Rams in Week 5 too, but Bradford and Co can be really disappointing. I know because as I mentioned in another thread, Bradford has been my QB in the Nas CSFMB FF league for the past 3 years.

If you haven't used the Falcons yet, they look like a good choice for W5 as well.

_________________

I think Ill definitely take the Falcons for one

Tough week


Might HAVE to take Rams.

I could make a case for every team besides the Jets and Jags

Take comfort in knowing it won't be your strategy was flawed, it will be the teams.

Mapping out the season is the best strategy. When there are hundreds of players, you will need to go close to 17 weeks, if not all 17. I lost with a 7 point fav. This is the NFL. It happens. I would rather plan it out, and lose with a 7 pt fav, then get stuck with a three point favorite later in the year. Mathematically, I made the correct move.

The purpose of threads like this, is to help others out. If you just want to be a dick, and dance on my grave, then I will show myself out. Good luck, fellas.

Let's say you save GB for week 17. Rodgers blows his knee out in week 14. Then what? How the hell do you know how a team will look two months from now? Hell, two weeks from now can be a completely different story.

You can dance on my FF grave. I started Rod Streater yesterday over Bowe and Mike Williams. I'm just busting your balls. I will do the same in person when we grab beers. It's good-natured.

I agree with both of you, actually.


This is my 3rd year doing a Survivor League. The first year, I was out after Week 2. Last year, I was out after Week 3 (and that was with the optional buy back in )


Provided the Saints win tonight, I'm assured of making it at least until Week 6 for the first time so I definitely enjoy this thread to get others' thoughts.

_________________

Rodgers or no Rodgers, taking GB in week 17 would be sabotaging yourself, my friend. For in week 17, the Packers play a certain team, from a certain midwestern town, that begins with a C, ends with an O, and in the middle is HICAG.

_________________

Its been an easy year so far. Like you I'm usually out in week 2 or 3

The Jaguars being so bad and Den and Sea being so good at home makes it easier


I've made 8 picks. 3 fading the Jags and thee on Sea or Den

Down to 81.

My pick was the Rams, as was most.

2 - SF

2 - AZ

6 - SD

1 - KC

4 - DEN

28 - ATL

6 - GB

30 - STL

1 - BAL

1 - HOU

Not sure about this week. Probably Rams and Falcons. Trying to put the surest pick on the first one, so I can use Denver over Jags next week.

Rams got thru

Also have Falcons tonight

4 people out yesterday (3 Chargers, 1 Giants)


21 remain and I have two of them

Half the remaining pool (21) eliminated last night (including one of my two entries)


10 left
5 cant use the Broncos this week.
I still have them and will be using them

Wow, 35 gone. 31 have option to buy back in.

12 - DEN (including me)

6 - KC

1 - DET

1 - DAL

2 - PHI

10 - SEA

5 - HOU

_________________

Houston is never to be trusted again.

_________________

All 10 got thru this week.

Of the 5 that picked Houston, 1 is eligible for a buy back in.


For Week 7, my top choices are:

1. Packers at home beating the Browns.

2. Also looking at Chargers beating the Clownin' for Clowney Jaguars (but hard for West Coast teams to travel to East Coast)

3. And you would think the Giants at home could beat the Vikes, right?
