Doc Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 OK, I did this last year and am going to do it again this year. For those not participating in TBD survivor leagues, who are you taking in week 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB3 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I'm riding Miami all year unless they play the Raiders. Then I'll consider it. Edit: Meaning I'm taking the Ravens this week.

Doc Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I have a bunch of entries. I took Baltimore, Seattle and Philly. I figure Seattle is a mortal lock but want to save them for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksilver Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Seahawks. For those taking Ravens, beware of Fitz's hot starts and it's in Miami (92 with 95% humidity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Meaning I'm taking the Ravens this week. I thought about the Ravens, but I don't trust Lamar Jackson and their offense. But otherwise, anyone playing Miami and Arizona should be a good bet (though I don't trust Detroit, either). Redskins are going to suck this year, too; pretty much any team playing them has a good shot at a win.

qwksilver Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 1 minute ago, Doc said: My son warned me of Fitz starting hot. But he's got little to work with in Miami. Correct. They are going to struggle to win 4 games. Also, not a huge fan of Jackson so that would be strike 2 against the Ravens. Although as bad as Fish are I wouldn't be surprised with a 27-6 loss. I just think Seattle is safer for week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 I wouldn't Arizona until I've seen Murray play. I think he'll struggle but I don't want to find out the hard way if he doesn't.

I agree with you that Detroit won't be that bad this year; Stafford is too up and down to go for/against Detroit on a weekly basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I’m debating picking either Jacksonville or Tampa Bay in Week One. Heat and humidity can give the home team an edge. It’s less heart-breaking to go down in flames early! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm going on gut and picked the Bills this week. If I were playing strategically, rather than emotionally I would have gone with Cleveland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) So no one agrees with me that Seattle is the safest pick, or are you saving them for later?

I also think Dallas is another safe pick. But staying away from Division Rivals week 1 because you just never know. So reason I went with Ravens. Fits with zero OL = sputtering Offense. And that Defense is worse than last year and Josh Allen ran wild on them no way the limit Lamar Edited September 8, 2019 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
