    You're right. Most pools will now be cleared out.

    Survival Pools are pretty lame, tho. Fantasy FB (in general) is pretty lame, b/c of all the computer projections.
    Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                40 of us are left in SBR survivor with 3 pending Eagles on MNF. This is the second week in the row that the biggest fav, in terms of pts spread, lost.

                Next week, it looks like so far 4 teams are tied @ -7. So be careful out there survivors.

                  Got knocked out of the 1st Pool I ever entered quite early. Kept on telling myself to take HOU instead of BAL but was too impatient to wait for the 8:20 game. No idea what they're doing rearranging these Pools with now a $100 entry fee & making the 1 for $1000 only 25k. My one & only time ever doing this.



                  Fukk BAL. At least I took HOU where it really mattered.

                    Cincinnati is up to -9, time for a Redskins upset.

                      Bengals were the big favorite who lost Week 1 and now they’re the big favorite in Week 3. Can’t believe they would loss again, but I’m definitely not picking them in survivor contest. 🤣

                      Mmm… I take the Redskins +9 though.

                        Lots of big chalk week 3. Picks will probably be spread out enough to prevent another mass culling.

                          Wow, Eagles lost and 3 knocked out. Down to 40. I’m staying away from Bengals and the other 3 games @ -7. 🤣

                            That Barkley TD being revered kicked me out of the players TD survivors contest along with many others. This season has been an early burial for many.

                                @RunYourPool:

                                Highest Elimination Rate Yet
                                No joke—this is the highest number of eliminations we’ve ever seen in the first two weeks of the NFL season. A staggering 73% of you are out, and we haven’t even reached Week 3 yet. To put that in perspective, the average elimination rate over the last seven years is just 35%. Talk about a brutal start to the season!

                                  Took Jets last night so see you remaining SBR survivors next week.

                                  Be careful w/ Bengals as line dropped to -7 but still the biggest favs this week w/ Niners and Browns @ -6.5.

                                    Oh man! Will a three straight week the biggest favorite will outright lose!? So far 8 of us have moved on to next week. Yesterday, Browns took out 8 players and will Bengals match that as 8 players have them. Not looking good.

                                            Week 4: So far Niners are the biggest favorite @ -10.5. Why risk it, please tread lightly.

                                                The reason Survivor is/was the best value for your $ is because most contests (50% ?) are filled with clueless entrants like yourself. Go back to your own thread and digest some of the advice I attempted to give to you.

                                                  Five of the six biggest favs lost SU, the only exception being the Jets. Has that ever happened before in the NFL?

                                                      There was a year, maybe 15 years or so ago, where AZ was like a 19pt dog at NE. Many pools lost circa 85% week 1. One I was in started a whole new pool.

                                                      The only way to win a large pool is to avoid big favorites at least 3 or 4 weeks of the 18. My friend and protege started playing 3 years ago. He started this year by playing all middling teams. He has 4 (started with 6) live entries of 64 remaining, with a prize of 25K. Circa 1300 started.

                                                          Well said. 2 of the last 3 years I've been in the top 10-20 of the 2 pools I play. Last year I was counting the $ and deciding how to collect 25K, cash? It took me weeks to get over. If I had a dollar for every hour I spent, well you get the idea. Net $0. Wife says "Well it kept you busy and you had fun" ???????????????????????????????????

                                                              Not sure how many you play but after doing this for 15+ years, My recommendation is no more than 2 serious pools and 8 entries is about right for # of entries. I play a $25 entry (8), and a $50 entry with 1 rebuy < week 4 for 4 entries. $25 entry pool is circa 1200 entries and $50 pool is circa 300.

I'm comfortable with mine where there are 2 different strategies for each. 2 people tried to overwhelm the pool last 2 years with 40 last year and 50 this year. Guy with 40 busted last year and this. He is like Tushy.

                                                                    Despite being busted out of 1 pool mostly LV I'm still in great spot in other.
