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...

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...

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.

"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...

Rampage Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I took Tennessee because I wanted to save KC and Baltimore for future weeks and think Tennessee are going to take a big step back this year so getting a mid-tier team on the board for a win would be ideal. So much for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Whelp, there I go. Broncos screwed me over. So yes, it was a bad week for survivor pools.

My pool has a post first week buyback that I planned to use. I picked the worst team I could find, so I'd have a better team left in the later weeks. I picked the Texans. And in the 3rd quarter it looked like they were going to win, so I wouldn't have to pay but had still picked a crap team. Then the damn Colts forced a tie. Shoot! Not the worst result, but I do have to pay to re-enter. Edited September 13, 2022 by Thurman#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
