Looks like NE is the easy pick. If you want to save them, I like Washington.
Some will take Pitt and NO, but they still scare me.

well, i was referring to the survivor pool where you just pick one winner SU each week, so not too worried about covering

New England is the big pick, Pitt would be my second selection.

If you want to save New England until later I would take Pittsburgh as my second selection, if you want to take someone that you can probably use early I would take Tampa Bay or Washington, both of them are play really terrible football teams this week.

Week 3
Who can give me picks for this week? I'm going with NE, Pitts, TB, Wash and NO so far. What about the rest?

I'm taking Pittsburgh and saving NE. There's going to be a week in there somewhere with no huge favs, that's when I'll pull out my NE wildcard. Hopefully, everyone else will have used NE by then.

If you're really playing to win, take the Raiders. It's the perfect spot to fade the Browns anyway, and no one else in your league will be taking the Raiders any time soon.

Raiders would be to much of a gamble to me...
I mean I want to save NE for later, but then again I need to survive
As for Pittsburgh, I dunno why but I think the niners could surprise.
I kind of like the Eagles, and the Broncos.
But my pick would go on the Saints (despite the horrible start for them so far) I kind of draw my gameplan for the first 5-6 weeks before the start of the year, and the Saints to me were the perfect fit for week#3, but now they seem a bit scarier.. But they aint gonna finish 0-16 are they !? So this week seems like a good one to pick up win #1.

Hi guys
I just joined the board, Hi to all
I'm in a survior pool also and for week 1 I used Pitt and week 2 I used Balt.
I 'm telling you week 3 is alittle tough. I'm thinking Carolina or Washington... OR do you think Tampa can win this week.

you'd need to have alot of guts to user Tampa in a survivor pool.... Carolina and Washington would be alot safer... But Denver and Philly are even better, and of course the Saints are THE pick to make

Taking the Saints is a bad move, IMO. It's just bad timing. The Saints just don't seem to be clicking yet. They'll get it sorted out later in the season, probably. There will absolutely be a better time to take the Saints further down the road. Taking them right now is really risky, IMO. The only angle I imagine for the Saints is the home crowd "magic" they got last season for their home opener. One big difference is that the Titans aren't the Falcons. I'm picking the Titans to win this one outright.
If you're backup is Eagles/Broncos, I'd pass on the Eagles for similar reasons. McNabb just doesn't seem right, yet. He'll probably get it straight at some point this season, but he isn't there yet. I love the Broncos with Jax coming to town, so I'd go with them if you force me to pick between Den/NO/Philly. But like NO & Philly, I think Denver might have a better spot to take them down the road. Like I said above, this is the week to burn up Pittsburgh if you're looking to save NE. Otherwise you're rolling the dice and still burning up teams that are usable down the road.
