Sam, please don't lose sight of the possible meaningless of week 17/18 games. BUF could run away with the East and who knows what home field may or may not mean. AFC warm weather survivors and heading to BUF who knows? Just a thought.Comment -
Agreed. See other post.Originally posted by JAKEPEAVY21Comment -
Weeks 5/6/12 are the immediate challenges IMHO.Comment -

IND and BAL scare me. Thx!Originally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
Had CIN on 2 of my 8 picks. Left them for dead down 14-0 and JAX on the 10 yard line. D had been on the field for a large part of the 1st half and looked listless. Went to bed cursing myself for what I thought was such a poor play.
Woke a winner (small miracle). Headed to buy a scratch ticket and lottery.

I’m going with KC, after two straight losses this has to be a get right game and they won’t be sleepyComment -
yea cincy was a scare for sure last night. Glad I took them and they won. Hard team off the boardOriginally posted by MadisonHad CIN on 2 of my 8 picks.

Agree. Using them for 1 of my 8. Just watched the 10 min youtube recap and can't imagine them going to 1-3.Originally posted by trobin31Comment -
Might be the week I blow my TB load in week 5, especially if they vomit for a few quarters tonightOriginally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
Tennessee and Saints going down was big....did cost me 1 entry though
down to 1 entryComment -
Week 5
TBAY -10 home to Miami
Vikings -8 home to Detroit
NE -7.5 at Houston
Dallas -7.5 home to Giants
Baltimore -7 home to Indy
i'm down to 1 entry and as of now I have TBAY for this week
Vikings 2 weeks ago came back from Seattle down 17-7 and offense was strong during come back, then they open up yesterday with a TD and don't score a point afterwards. Inconsistent team, i'm not ready to use them
Cowboys I have week 10 home to Falcons
Vikings I have week 18 home to Bears
Realizing now I don't have Ravens used at all...so maybe I can move some teams around and save TBAY. But at same time I dont love Ravens this week. They should win home on MNF, but Colts coming off 1st win, maybe turning things around
Pats I have week 17 home to Jags
so for me as of now I have TBAY

TB, NE scare me. NFL has become such an emotional entity. And now with 17 games teams have more room to lose and recover. Keep a close eye on Division races ie. BUFF could be resting in DEC.Originally posted by SamsNCharge99
I have MIN, DAL, and BAL on my radar as well. Will do more work as the week moves forward. Leaning MIN as DET did everything short of giving CHI a BYE.
Not using BUFF for all my pics and moving on cost me some. I won 2 on CINN and lost 2 on NO. Almost lost 4/8.
Weeks 5 and 6 will lose a lot of people. Week 12 also brutal. Anything after week 12 I am not considering at all.
Back later. BOLComment -
Looking LV hard as well.Originally posted by trobin31Comment -
If Titans weren’t so banged up would be a good spot to useComment -
If IF'S were Tits or something like that. LOLOriginally posted by trobin31Comment -
Starting to look like path of least resistance is targeting the Texans. Of the teams really bad they are the ones who don’t have their future QB already playing and need a top spot for draft.Comment -
NE OL in shambles, and they weren't playing very well before. Mac not going to last at this pace.Originally posted by trobin31
As I had stated earlier, this is such a crap shoot, as far as saving teams. How does SEA look now for the next 5 weeks or so?
Much as I hate the potential let down TB may be the play as MIA appears awful and unable to take advantage of TB's Def backfield issues.Comment -
Yeah in definitely off TB & NE, likely either Minny or BaltyOriginally posted by MadisonComment -

To spread or ALL eggs in a basket
I think I'm in a little different situation than most of you. I started with 8 $25 picks. The pool is pretty big though with close to 900 entries. I find myself quite often struggling with spreading my picks out and potentially incurring a slow bleed or consolidating and risking losing whatever implied advantage I might have. Of the 900 there are only about 10-20 players who started with 4 or more picks. As a for instance, I lost 2 picks last week with NO (Long story why I didn't only use them once) and had to sweat Cinn for 2. The alternative was to just take the BILLS and have a nice relaxing weekend knowing I'd still have my 8 picks in week 5.
As I've stated before, I've been doing these for some time and the "Let's save team X" for later can sometimes burn you i.e. SEA for the next 5 weeks or so.
BOL to all.Comment -
would have been nice to have NE or Vikings lose yesterday....in my pool not 1 entry was eliminatedComment -
Week 6.....
TBAY -7 on road in Phily...Thursday night game
Colts -10 home to Texans
KC -7 on road in Washington
RAMS -10 on road in GIants
only 4 spreads over 7 as of now for next week. Not meaning you can't take small lines but typically you go for heavy lines and heavy favorites.
Personally, I have COLTS for this week, already used TBAY. Rams a good selection based on injury giantsComment -
Leaning Colts as well waiting to see if they have any injuries or anything in tonight's game before I commit.Originally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
Hopefully you changed after the news leaked. I moved off 2 LV picks. Nice move here.Originally posted by gummoComment -
This one hurt me. 23% of pool gone with NE.Originally posted by trobin31Comment -
Yep, NE was crusher in my pools.Originally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
Hard to pass on IND, but I don't see DAL not scoring 35+ on NE. Hate road , but this one looks interesting. Watch the weather.Originally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
Feels like Colts are gonna be overweight, Wentz always a 1st qtr injury waiting to happen, especially after a short weekComment -
Sam, keep your eyes on DIV etc. TB edging closer to a potential let down? Seems like they are lock in their DIV no??Originally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
NYG injuries. Interested in others thoughts on LAR??Originally posted by SamsNCharge99Comment -
Kind of agree, but isn't this a must win against an inferior foe. Leaning IND heavy here.Originally posted by trobin31Comment -
i have already used TBAY and I used RAMS week 1. So for me, Colts is my pickOriginally posted by MadisonComment
