Mango Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I am not in this pool. I totally whiffed. But in my other one, I went Pitt>Cinci. Week 3 and I am out. Effin-A. I am still a little salty about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the "Two bills drive survivor" in blue it shows you everyone. We currently are at 72 remaining out the initial 100. Half of those out are because they simply didn't make a pick. Switching my pick to KC this week. I figure it is worth losing this if it means KC loses to the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Maybe I should consider using Cincy over one of the better teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 So I took Cincy with 10 of my 20 picks. Was getting ready to lose them all until the 4th quarter happened. Although it would have also knocked out 20% of the remaining picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can save a supposedly dominant team for a later week. Got by week 4 by the skin of my teeth. The Bengals nearly laid an egg, but pulled it out against the Jags in the closing minutes of play. In the end, I got what I wanted. I got to use what is most likely a third tier team and I survived, thus saving a top tier team for a bit later in the season.

No offense to you personally, but I was pulling for the Jags to win knowing that close to half the people in the pool would have been eliminated. I’m going with the Titans this week.

The Bungles have surprised me this year. Their defense for once isn't abysmal, and they score points. In both of these ways they differ from the Jags. Week 1 Panthers Week 2 Browns Week 3 Raiders Week 4 Bengals Week 5 The Buffalo Bills. I am confident that the Bills are a more complete team this year than they have ever been. KC defense has been a noticeable weakness this year. Obviously a tough match up but it was always my intention to take the toughest team on the Bills schedule. Live and die by this team.

Might Rather Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Week 1- Broncos Week 2- Packers Week 3- Panthers Week 4- Bills Week 5- Pats over Texans As much as I hate picking the Patriots, I don't see how they lose this one and gets them out of the way. I can't see them having a better lock for a win this season even vs. the Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Tough week to choose I’m leaning Tampa at home over the Dolphins but worried about a let down game after emotional week.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Week 1: Rams over Bears Week 2: Packers over Lions Week 3: Denver over Jets Week 4: Bills over Texans Week 5 : Dallas over the Giants As above I was leaning Tampa but I'm going to save them for a later day. Dallas at home against a not very good Giants team seems safer than Green Bay on the road. Baltimore should handle the Colts but after what Harbaugh did at the end of the game last week, karma might bite his ass and embarrass him on national TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Patriots over Texans is the correct play this week. Save your better teams for later on when you need them.

And you didn’t learn by playing with fire this past week? If Lawrence sneaks in from the 1 to go up 21-0, the Bengals lose that game. Mighty close call there…you can’t get too cute in this game. The Bills were the play last week. That being said I like the Pats way better than Cinci on Thursday night. I try to avoid road teams and if I wanted to use NE, can still use them at home vs Jets. Tampa, Dallas, or Minny are the plays this week in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa, Dallas, or Minny are the plays this week in my mind. Ive won back to back survivor pools, $2200 the first year and $2800 last season. I am not saying this to brag, I am saying this to say the strategy works. You HAVE to "Get cute" to win it all. You can pick obvious favorites/what everyone else picks week to week, but all you are doing is kicking the can down the road. Pick good matchups every week, absolutely. But you have to pick against the grain. I didnt pick the Bills last week like over 50 percent of my league did, and now I can use them later in the season when most remaining people have already used them (think: free week). It doesn't matter if you get knocked out week 4 or week 14, your still getting knocked out, thats why you have to "take smart chances" - like the bengals last week (and I agree, I hate taking anything in a thursday matchup), and the Patriots this week. They are still plus matchups, but not the heavily taken favorite. I also try my best to avoid division games, no matter how big the favorite is, because anything can happen in division games. Just my 2 cents in how I have been winning my survivor pools. Go Bills! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
