SURVIVOR PICK Help/Advice Appreciated 10sbr pts

oiler · 11-02-10, 11:09 AM

well i like the raiders,they seem to have it together this year figure 21-10 oakland

TheCommish · 11-02-10, 12:57 PM

Go with Minnesota. 27-13

slacker00 · 11-02-10, 01:22 PM

Atlanta Falcons

I've already locked them in for my survivor pool. The Bucs aren't nearly as good as their record. The Falcons are a quality football team, especially at home getting up for a game like this.

Minnesota is another option, but I'd rather go with a quality team playing great football than a slumping team finding ways to lose.

PhilliesPhan · 11-02-10, 01:29 PM

Thanks for the advice so far .. its only tues though so im hopin to get as much feedback as possible .. Ive been lucky to escape 2 straight weeks with OT fg WIns for my picks over the Bills ... nice little pot for the winner and if i can get thru weeks 9 n 10 there is a good shot i can take it ...

YO Slack ... any score prediction in case other ppl respond wit ATL so i can give 10 sbrpts to closest?

Jiggy Fly · 11-02-10, 01:37 PM

I picked the same exact teams you have in the same order so far this year. I am leaning Falcons. 24-13

m3xtreme · 11-02-10, 01:45 PM

same here.. picked the same as you so far and i'm going falcons as well... should be a mini blowout 30-13

PhilliesPhan · 11-02-10, 04:25 PM

Nice ... Glad other ppl have used same teams as me, going to look into ATL/TB for the rest of the week with an ear open to other options .. Morris has TB fired up after winning in AZ .. saying theyre going to "eat some bird" in ATL lol .. that was so gay a** sh*t tho

bobbyk1133 · 11-02-10, 04:28 PM

Agree with slacker. ATL ML is a lock this week.

Surtainly · 11-02-10, 04:37 PM

go w/ New Orleans at Carolina. 31-13 final

PhilliesPhan · 11-02-10, 04:37 PM

Im givin 10 sbr points to who picks the right side and closest to final score of the game

PhilliesPhan · 11-02-10, 04:39 PM

I see a blowout there too Surtainly with NO over Carolina banged up and horrendous but i used the Saints week 4 and can only use a team once

Surtainly · 11-02-10, 04:51 PM

my bad I figured you wouldn't list the game if you already used the team. Save the Falcons for a non-divisional game. I think they win easily but you never know. Id go with Minny > Arizona... Ill predict 24-10.

Minnesota is a no brainer

PhilliesPhan · 11-03-10, 09:51 AM

I just dont kno what to expect with Favre .. AP should be able to run all over that horrendous D and i know AZ will not be able to score a lot but so much drama and nonsense in minny this week ..

10 SBR POINTS TO WHOEVER PICKS THE RIGHT SIDE AND CORRECT/CLOSEST SCORE

Are you looking to survive for a few more weeks, and then get knocked out.....or win it?
Go for the win. Take Philly over Indy this week. No one will use Philly. It's a great spot for the Eagles. Save the Vikings for week 13 against Buffalo when you can determine if the team has righted its ship or not. Root for TB to knock off the Falcons. You could win the pool this week if it breaks right.

Or just troll along with the masses like you have been doing the last 8 weeks, barely surviving by the grace of god the last 2 weeks.

You can't win the pool by taking the most popular pick every week. You might stay alive longer, but you won't win. There will always be a number of risk averse players taking the same big favorite every week.

Take Philly this week, and watch your fellow competition get creamed.

Eagles 27-20.

terpkeg · 11-03-10, 04:57 PM

I generally take the biggest home favorite not playing in a divisional game and I have gone deep in the past, Week 13 last yr. This yr Saints v. Browns sent me packing after I changed my play from Ravens v. Bills the day of.

PhilliesPhan · 11-03-10, 05:12 PM

I know Andy Reid is 11-0 off the bye but never did he play peyton manning. If i lost a surivor pool with 11 other people left outta 75 on a pick against peyton by pickin my home squad at -3 with multiple personalities on offense id be pretty pissed at my self

arizona ain't winning any more road games this year

PhilliesPhan · 11-03-10, 10:37 PM

I am leaning Minny right now b.c it is non divisional and AP could single handedly win this game for the Vikes ..

3PtShooter · 11-03-10, 11:11 PM

Atlanta line going up

PhilliesPhan · 11-04-10, 11:40 PM

locked in ATL i was leanin Minny but the injury to harvin, farves nonsense and the fact that ATL is off a bye ... hope i dont regret takin the divisional matchup ..

10 sbr points to whoever gets closest score tho still

dannyd66 · 11-05-10, 01:44 AM

My pick

Giants: 31

Seahawks: 16

Personally, I've used the G-Men already........but I haven't read a post yet that's included this game or score-------the Hawks offense doesn't matchup well with the Giants Defense ESPECIALLY with them coming-off of a bye.

I'm leaning that way now with mine. Was leaning Atl. earlier in the week. 5 people left. 3 took Atl and 1 took Minny. I think I pretty much have to go with NY now. Thoughts?

Nomocino · 11-05-10, 06:45 AM

Very nice to make it this far , I went out week 1 taking SF over SEA in my league so my advise could screw ya, but I like the Falcons at home the Bucs are winning with smoke and mirrors the better team wins this weekend

ATLANTA 31

TAMPA BAY 13

infamousbacardi · 11-05-10, 06:51 AM

Gotta go with Minnesota in this spot...their season is on the line and the Cardinals are garbage. I'd say they win in the realm of 31-10 or so.

dannyd66 · 11-05-10, 10:25 AM

I know the Vikes are at home and all that + AP is probably due to bust-out....but with Favre and his walker with Oxygen and Geritol supplements (not to mention the Viking's "D" hasn't recorded a sack in 3 weeks, I DO NOT like a touchdown + line. Just don't. Will they win? Yeah, probably. But given the other games available, I'd hate to risk any sort of survivor streak on them.

The G-Men (or others) are better plays. Seek them out!

pokerpro44 · 11-05-10, 10:33 AM

i like the falcons.good luck.

PhilliesPhan · 11-05-10, 02:55 PM

Appreciate the feedback .. Gmen are lookin solid right now and hassleback out helps gmen big time but i still do not like to use road teams until im forced to ... hoping to survive this week wit 12 ppl left outta 75 .. $7500 would be a nice come up .. GL to everyone this weekend survivor and and betting

teddyd · 11-06-10, 09:45 AM

Picking between MIN & NYJ this weekend... Thinking MIN because they are at home. Definitely a tough spot though.

trade88 · 11-06-10, 12:13 PM

I'm on Minny and saving the Jets for week 12 against Cincy.
