LB3 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Thank you for reminding me. I'll be back with my pick. Edit: Saints Every time I try to save teams till the end, I lose. I'm going to try the most confidant available this year. Edited September 6, 2018 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the safe bets early on in the season, and usually there will be a few surprise teams that become easy choices later on. The hardest weeks to pick are usually in the middle when teams aren't yet, to quote Denny Green, "who we thought they were". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's #1 offense with a crazy new defense. Mackless Raiders. Yeah, that line does look nice. Are Raiders all of a sudden hype, since they traded and released a significant portion of their other talent in the offseason? I could see riots after some 70-0 route. It's gonna be bad. Gruden? Are people betting on him? This is gonna make me laugh. Edited September 6, 2018 by Paulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ravens are not a good pick in week one. Unless they have some sort of Lamar Jackson big play gimmick stuff, they'll be flat on offense as usual.

If Ravens win, theres slightly less of a sting to the loss because at least you move on in the pool and still have some strong choices left. Ou are going to be mad the Bill's lost anyway, at least this could help make things slightly better. Bill's win and getting knocked out of the pool has less of a sting cause you are excited the Bills pulled off an upset win to start the season.

If you want to free up the rest of the season from having to figure out who you are going to pick the next 16 weeks, sure, the Browns are worth taking....... I wouldn't touch them until a few weeks into the season and you see if they are the usual Browns again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I just go with my gut feeling and try not to overthink it. I remember one year in the TBD pool, most people picked "the sure thing" the first week. Well, they lost and half the field was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
