    Tough week, looking for thoughts on picks this week. I'm in 2 pools and have picked this way: Hou>NYJ>SD and SD>NYJ>Pitt. Who's got opinions on sure winners this week?

    Do like the bucs and pack. Never like to take a road team in a survivor pool.

    Bucs should be the easy win of the week, Colts only looked good because Pit's line was so hurt last week

    Big fan of the Saints, Packers and Falcons this week. I hate touching primetime games because as we saw last week with the Steelers vs. Colts, anything can happen.

    Go with the Bucs. Or, if it's single elimination or no rebuys, take Green Bay if you'd like to be more comfortable.

    Packers. That's who I'm taking, but I don't believe in saving teams. Teams I used so far: Hou, Pitt, SD

    This is the same path I've taken. Not sure if I'm going to use GB this week, but I'm leaning that way. I know GB should murder DEN on paper, but since DEN is getting a lot of key guys back this week the game is playing jedi mind tricks on me. GB's defense hasn't looked good yet..

    The key to a survivor pool is just making it through the first 4 weeks. After that it gets significantly easier.

    Bears, you could use them week 6, but that is the best week to play ATL. Week 5 you have to take Pit team(A) and probably Giants team(B).

    GB or ATL are your best bets.

    Atlanta has zero O-line...they are traveling their furthest possible distance to 2nd consecutive road game, just played 3 physically tough games, and have yet to win on the road in 2 tries...and you are going to pick them, seriously?

    The ATL game, although only week 4, means a lot to ATL, they don't wanna fall too far behind NO, they NEED this win. Although theyre O-line did struggle, Seattle's D isn't CHI, or even TB for that matter. I think ATL wins fairly convincingly. Big game for Matt Ryan, I know anything can happen but I'm comfortable with the -4.0

    Well, my next option would be the Bucs if I wanted to save the Packers. But I think the Bucs will get better as the season goes forward whereas the Packers seem to be peaking right now. That's another strategy I use, to go with a team that seems to be "peaking", which has served me well in the past. That's also why I don't save teams because weeks from now, some teams that we haven't been talking will suddenly emerge as well as some of the currently dominant teams might start to go flat. It seems to happen every year. I like to hit teams when they are hot and nobody's hotter than GB at this moment.

    I'm saving the Packers, they are elite and will come through in a home game when needed. This week I'm on the Bucs. This is how I've picked so far: Arizona>Pittsburgh>San Diego. GL!

    If you don't care to save the packers, play Green Bay. If you'd like to save them for later, play the Bucs.
