Week 2 Survivor pool......who ya got??

[Special K]

Only 5 people knocked out in week 1........far less than last year's disaster.

 

My thoughts were either Ravens or Cardinals, but after the Ravens implosion vs the Bills, I feel there is an outside chance of a "meltdown" game and Cleveland could steal one. Therefore I will go with the Cards at home vs. the Panthers.

 

Who ya got??

[Southern McButterpants]

I'm going with the Rams - i don't think think they'll see an easier game. 

[BigDingus]

Jags over Bengals... because I have no self-preservation instincts. 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

New England

[Stretch]

Cardinals.  Browns keep it close vs Ravens.

[Albany,n.y.]

I have 2 entries in the pool I'm in.  I picked Detroit & Baltimore.  I had Arizona & Philly last week.  

[MJS]

It's always a little risky choosing teams going against division rivals.

I'm in two.  In the first, I have Dallas over the Giants.  In the second, I have San Francisco over New Orleans.  The Dallas pick is probably a bit risky, but I think Russell Wilson is probably toast and the Giants aren't ready to trust Jaxon Dart just yet.

While I think NO is one of the worst teams in the league, I couldn't risk Brock Purdy not playing & having to rely on Mac Jones at QB.  I don't think it's clear who will be SF's QB on Sunday.

I’ve gone Dallas this week. I saw enough offensively versus Philly to suggest they’ll have the ability to beat the Football Giants.

Ravens

Ravens. I am expecting a bounce back game.

[frostbitmic]

I'm in a different league but am still alive after taking the Cardinals week 1.

 

This week I think the Ravens are going to be pissed at the world and take it out on the Browns at home.

Rams, Vikings, Cards

There is no way I’d take the Ravens in this game for a survivor pool.  First, they are the largest favorite, which you should always avoid if you’re actually trying to win the pool.  Second, I guarantee you Cleveland’s defense is going to slow them down (familiarity, division opponent).  Third, you’ve got the Flacco factor.  I see a game in the 20s and I’m staying away from it.

I've got Pittsburgh. I think their defense will clamp down on a bad Seattle o-line after a pretty mediocre week last week.

I fear for Flacco's health in this one, the Ravens Defense has something to prove.

I was thinking the same thing. Ravens split with Cleveland last year. Yes, the game's in Baltimore, but I just don't trust it.
