    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.

    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.

    10 betpoints 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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.
    Points Awarded:

    PhilliesPhan gave dannyd66 10 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    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?

    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.

    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!
