    Eliminator challenge
    Denver or Houston to win only? Haven't picked a road team all year but am considering taking Houston at St. Louis. Down to 4 players from 50. $25 entry so winner gets $1250. Give me reasons not to take one or the other.

    I had the same two options this week and chose Denver. Houston can be a little flakey on the road

          I must admit I am taking Denver in my second chance pool. But the 25K big daddy I am taking the Texans.

            Damn it seaborne, you really think Charlie Frye can lead his team to victory?

              If you had not noticed the Raiders are so much better when J Russell is not eating, I mean taking snaps under center.

                Definitely Denver, they're a very strong play.

                  I know you are right. If Russell were playing it would be a no brainer.

                    I have the same logic with not taking the road team. Both are pretty solid plays. I would be surprised if you see St. Louis pass 15 times this game whether or not they are down by 1 or by 100.

                      I switched to Houston on this one. While you are praying for Rochestertitan's brother-in-law and wife, throw me a bone as well.

                        I had a change of heart. Taking Seahawks in second smaller survivor pool.

                          The Raiders are just to risky for me to go for or against.

                                3 out of 4 picked Houston in my league and one player picked Arizona.

                                                  I would have died either way today. Was not meant to be. Seattle and Denver took the gas pipe.

                                                    Fvcking assbag Broncos. My only consolation is that I had to lock the play in on Thursday before all the swine flu news hit the Rams. Hope no one else here took them.

                                                        Atlanta next week and Denver week 17. This is getting very interesting.

                                                          Who did you win week 16?

                                                            Had Arizona in week 16. We are down to 3 players in our league.

                                                            Denver is my number 1 choice this week with the Jets as my #2.

                                                              I am shifting my choice to the Jets this week. Why would the Bengals risk anything this week by playing their starters? Kansas City is at least playing for pride. What say you SBRForum?

I hedged my bet with a ML bet on the Bengals, although I hated to do it, but was guaranteed to win the same amount regardless of the outcome of the game.

If Dallas wins I will take them against Minny, otherwise I will do everything in my power not to use Indy against San Diego.
