Gimme your 5 star lock.

I'm suffering fom paralysis by analysis on my survivor pick this week. The top choices I'm considering are Jets over Colts, Rams over Broncos and Bears over Dolphins.

I have already used these teams and can not choose them:

Panthers

Vikings

Browns

Packers

Bengals

It's down to 6 people for a $1,400. pot.

Keep in mind that point spreads do not matter. Just need a winner.

Hard choices there. 

 

Rams @ Broncos seems to be the best bet.  

How will playing in Denver affect the Rams

 

Will 3 inches of snow “during” the game make any difference?

 

Trabisky had a super star day last week, can he do it again?

 

Colts at Jets.  Has Luck lost the zip on his ball?  Will it be cold and windy in Jersey?

Shady, you seem to get just the way I'm feeling. So many teams this season are up and down, Jekyll and Hyde. You just don't know what to expect. The Rams have looked so good this season, but they just slipped past the Seahawks last week 33-31. Could this be their turn to lay an egg? The mile high atmosphere does affect visitors in Denver.

Chicago coming off of a bye week, a lot of teams start off slow. Their D is strong, but can Trabisky repeat?

The Jets have some parts, including a decent run game. But that's a shaky team to let $1,400 ride on.

A lot of people are picking the Rams, is Denver that bad? Will they bounce back at home after a humiliating loss at the Jets?

Rams are the only lock with what you have to work with.

The first thing about locks is there isn’t one. Vegas had the Vikings as locks against the Bills and we see where that went. Rams should win at Denver, but I like the Bears with rest over the Phish.

Hate to say it but the Texans should outscore the Bills... Then again the Bills knocked me out of my survivor pool by beating the Vikings.

 

I'd stay away from this one as well because of the uncertainty around Watson.  I can see him getting knocked-out of the game.

Offensive Ranking:

Rams, 1st

Broncos, 12th 

 

Defense Ranking:

Rams, 9th

Broncos, 26th 

 

Rams have scored: 33, 34, 35, 38, 33

Goff/Gurley/Cooks/Kupp/Woods

 

Broncos have scored: 24, 20, 14, 23, 16

Keenum/Lindsay/Sanders/Thomas

 

On paper, the only thing Denver has going for it is the weather/altitude.

Crazier things have certainly happened, but Rams are a solid pick, especially to just win (they're favored by 6.5, which really means 9.5 better, according to the "experts").

He’s seems pretty accurate but he has to be a Giants fan.  He’s picked them to win 4 times already, one of them against NO, one against Jax, and another on Thursday.  I guess he was pretty high on them this year.

It's definitely a tough week w/ those teams gone. Personally I'm staying away from Dolphins/Bears, took Packers myself this week but between what you have left I'd go Jets. Indy doesn't have anything outside Luck and a banged up Marlon Mack. Hilton still injured, I think Doyle is out or at least hurting as well, and the Robbie Anderson showed some signs of life which is good news for their offense.

Rams are gonna lose in Denver in the cold, thin air with a California QB and dinged up receivers. 

 

Todd Gurley will pound them just as Isaiah Crowell did to the tune of over 200 yards rushing.

Gurley will be lucky if he doesn't pull a hammy in that cold thin air. Rams won't know what hit them after spending all week in warm, sunny LA reading their press clippings.

Nice BRAG post about still being alive in a survival pool. The rest of us got bounced way too early! ?

For what it's worth I started with 3 entries, down to my final bullet and I needed the miracle comeback by the Bengals last week (down 17-0)  to stay alive. One of my entries was out in week 1, Lions at home losing to the Jets. ?

Take the Texans, save better teams (Rams, Bears) for later. Their D coupled with the Bills Pop Warner offense ensures that no matter if Watson plays the entire game or not, Houston wins going away. Bills will be lucky if they get a few field goals, which won't be enough.

I have considered the Texans, one I do find it hard to pick against Buffalo. Two, I just don't see Houston as being that much of a better team than the Bills. Their last two wins were in OT by field goals (and that is definitely a positive) against Dallas and the colts. Before that they lost to the Giants and Titans. So while at home, they probably come away with a win, but if Buffalo comes out ahead in the turnover battle, this could be a Bills win.

Not like we have not faced (and beaten) good QBs and good defenses already......but hey
