ironically enough if my 2nd entry this year I lost week 1 with Arizona against NE. Betting against NE without BRady and Gronk and they fukked me then. Time for them to make it up and help me advance

I have a couple of friends who are Bills fans and they absolutely love Oakland this week...telling me how Buffalo sucks on the road and how they don't travel well..they also have no faith in Tyrod Taylor as the Bills QB...but I already picked Atlanta, so it's a moot point to me.

In my big pool 15K (675) there are 40 left. Almost everyone has ATL and NO. I'm leaning right now at rolling the dice and taking BAL.
In the smaller 17 left which I have 2 I'm leaning ATL/NO.
GL to all.

total bullshit...fukkin fluke...one of the worst beats of all-time!.......im still pissed and angry....can't believe that shit....even if the falcons don't convert the 2 pt play I still win and move onto week #14...but to lose on an int returned all the way back for a pick two on a failed two point conversion attempt is fukkin' demoralizing, condescending, and downright sickening...

Atlanta put me out of spider's pool in week 10. Atlanta lost to Philly, the ONLY game Philly has won in the past 6 in a pickem game. The eagles also haven't covered in any of those losses either. I'm still pissed at Atlanta for that bullshit.

We dropped 4 players in my pool, down to 15...1 tonight has INDY. All 4 people who had NE available to use used them myself included.
Week 14....early leans
Detroit -8 over Bears....MY PERSONAL PICK THIS WEEK....Detroit leading division by 2 games over Gbay and Vikings. Home game over shitty Bears team. Lions have chance to stay 2 up in division with 3 games to go. Shouldn't lose here
NE -7.5 at Ravens.....Everyone in my pool has already used NE, but if anyone does have them available here's another NE opportunity. I wouldn't be too strong on them just b/c Ravens historically play NE very tough.
That's it for games with 7 point favorites........other possible plays
Atlanta -5 AT Rams....This goes against my away pick rule, Geoff unimpressive in all 3 starts this year, Atlanta needs the win to stay atop the division
Cincy -4 AT Browns...another road team. i personally have used Cincy already, but bet against the Browns seems to be the popular pick all year. Browns could easily go 0-16.
Indy -4.5 to Houston....home game for Indy, depends on how tonights game goes against the Jets if Luck and Hilton stay healthy, but divisional game and chance for Indy to stay atop that division
Vikings -3 AT Jags....at this point I'm stretching a little bit, but Jax is awful this year and Vikings need to keep winning to have any chance at trying to win the division. 0-2 against the Lions, so they need to win and will need help last month of season.
Again for me personally, I have Detroit available to use and this is easy pick for me. Division leaders and can keep the 2 game lead going with a win. Bears beat up an even worse SF team yesterday and Detroit with impressive defensive performance against Saints and offense keeps putting up points.
Good luck to those who are still in this year

great write up Sammy and good luck.....I'd personally pick Minny even though it goes against your visitor team rule....Jags just bad...I always hate betting division games because they are.....division games and both teams know each other all too well.....

17-pit
16 is def a tough one. I pre-pick week 1 all 17 weeks and adjust as needed. I've gone with so many options in week 15-16 and changed again this morning.
I initially had Pitt over Baltimore but figure that game is Pitt -4 or so. Division game and they always battle tough against each other.
Another option is Oakland over INdy, but I still am not in love with Oakland. Indy has the weapons to win, but Oakland keeps finding a way to win.
If you have Seattle available, that's my current pick. They play week 15 on Thursday, so they get an extra 2-3 days recovery time and to prepare. By week 16 they could possibly lock up #2 seed in NFC and first round Bye, so they will come to play for sure
SD plays on the road that week against the browns. Browns obviously could go 0-16. But SD won't be playing for anything either. I always say don't take ROAD teams, so this one is just by my eliminator rules for why I won't take them.
The other maybe I can make a case for opportunity is Redskins over Bears. Redskins again on the ROAD, but they are fighting for Wild Card and will need that win to stay alive pending next 2 weeks,
Gets tougher every week as less options are available. Hope that helps

14- Det (vs Chi)
15- Atl (vs SF)
16- Oak (vs Ind) or SD (@Cle) or LA (vs SF) lean to SD. Need to See RGIII this week to confirm
17- Minn (vs Chi) or Indy (vs Jax) Lean Minn if still alive for playoff spot

I don't like losing at anything but this was epic. They left 5 points on bad decisions and gave up 9 pts on stupidity on offense. Should be Matty "Lice". wtf!

I survived with Det as well. Wife says "And you get enjoyment out of this??" LOL
Would have sucked bad having Det eliminate me last week at NO and then by losing this week. (2nd pool)

Here's a dour thought. My pool has 29 still left. How much would it suck to sweat 17 weeks and end up with 15K divided by 20/25.

my pool is $12,950 and 12 people left, $50/entry and I had 2 to start the year.
Let's start to look at week 15
Seattle -14 over Rams....obvious pick if you have Seattle available to use
Buffalo -10 over Browns...Browns likely will go 0-16,
Atlanta -14 over SF....Atlanta needs to keep winning as they are currently holding division lead, SF just blew 14 point 4th quarter lead at home to the JETS.
Dallas -7.5 over TBay....I'm a cowboys fan, but I wouldn't take this. TBay rolling right now, Dallas back home after tough loss last night, Dallas should win this, but I wouldn't risk eliminator on this game
If you don't have 1 of those 4 teams available to use, then good luck finding a confident pick.
For me personally, I have Atlanta this week. I'm saving Seattle for week 16 home to Arizona as Seattle will likely be -8 or so over them and week 16 is tough week for picks. This week should be pretty easy b/t Seattle, Bills, and Atlanta.
I guess I'll be rooting for the Browns this week and hope some people take the Bills.

I have...
Week 15....Atlanta home to SF
Week 16...Seattle home to Arizona
Week 17....Pitt home to Browns
my pool has already decided to split among those who remain after week 17 if multiple entries are left. no playoffs or anything.
Only 2 people have Seattle to use and 4 have Pitt to use, so I def like my chances to worse case finish all 17 weeks and take some of the money. Last year it all ended after week 11, so def sucks to be this far into the season with 12 entries remaining, but hopefully many fall and only 5 or less finish the year.

46 left in mine, 29K on the line. Need a few big upsets to cull the herd, gonna be very disappointing otherwise. On Seattle this week, as a Bucs fan it would be a double bonus if SF somehow knocks off Atlanta. No offense to those taking the Falcons
