eball Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I mean, wow. Depending on your pool, either 4 of the top 5 or 5 of the top 6 most popular picks went down: Indy, Cinci, Tennessee, San Fran, and in some pools Carolina. The two pools I’m in lost 56 and 57% of their entries, respectively, and if Seattle somehow upsets Denver tonight that will go up. Thankfully I had three entries in each and only lost one (damn Colts). Crazy stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I had Baltimore in one and Denver in the other. I am still confident about Denver. Geno, can't win.... can he? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I chose Denver because I didn't feel good about those other ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Same here. Think we lost about 60% of the entries yesterday. Yup, I lost one of my entries on Indy. My other entry was the Saints and barely squeaked that one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why would Carolina be a popular pick over the Browns? That was far from a given. Browns are still pretty solid even without Massage-Boy.

Albany,n.y. Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 We lost 30%, but the Giants cost me 1 of my 2 picks. Fortunately, the Jets are who I thought they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Don't know about week 1, but in 2018 almost 65% of those that survived the first two weeks bet on 1-0-1 Minnesota at home against the 0-2 Bills. https://sports.yahoo.com/bills-win-vikings-largest-nfl-upset-since-1992-wrecks-survivor-pools-everywhere-211650719.html "It was the biggest upset the NFL has seen in 26 years." "The game wrecked survivor pools across the country. Congratulations if you’re among the 35.59 percent of pool players who didn’t choose the Vikings this week."

sullim4 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Every single person, myself included, in my office pool advanced. The fish and the Ravens were easy picks this week. Matt Patricia running a Patriots offense has disaster written all over it. The Jets of course had no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The game wrecked survivor pools across the country. Congratulations if you’re among the 35.59 percent of pool players who didn’t choose the Vikings this week." Craziest thing was the "biggest upset in 26 years" was solely from the first half. We didn't do Jack all in the second. Kind of like how our 1 point off record setting beating of the defending champs was solely from the second half.

Thankfully I had three entries in each and only lost one (damn Colts). Crazy stuff. I have a few self rules when doing survivor. Always pick a home team for one, never pick the colts for another one. They lost to the Jags week 1 for the Jags only win of the year a couple years ago. I don't care how much they are favored. I won't bet them. 31 minutes ago, RiotAct said: isn’t the point of survivor to pick a team you’re almost positive is going to win? If so, why would Carolina be a popular pick over the Browns? That was far from a given. Browns are still pretty solid even without Massage-Boy. You only get to pick a team once so a lot of people try to "save" good teams. If you think one of the poorer teams will get a win you try to get cute and sneak through a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Question:. I picked the Colts to beat the Texans in my TBD survivor league. Since the game ended in a tie, am I still eliminated? Or am I still alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 That was a short survivor pool for me ... I hate the ****** Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
