Survival Pool coming down to it -- can't f--k up now!
I'll take any help you guys can offer... 641 people is down to only 27, got a shot to win a pot of over 12,000 bucks. I can pick anyone I want, they just have to win. Who would you pick this week?
Gracias, gents.

why would you take a team in one of these ????? mark games where who knows who is playing and how long, and there is no real motivation for the dog or fav....
take the Ravens, they are the biggest fave, playing a bad team and they NEED to win

I'm stressed, Dudes! Not confident in any team this week... how can I take the Ravens, it's like the SB for the Raiders and the Ravens have shown that they F things up a lot.
Then you have all these bad teams against resting playoff teams... Then you have the random games... I'm actually thinking Tennessee, but don't like taking road teams... This sux!!

Here is what I am doing Capy. We are down to 3 players to win 1250. I am taking the Jets then will wait to see who everybody else took. Depending on the scenario will determine how much I will bet on the Bengals ML to hedge and guarantee a win. (playoffs not included in my pool)

My buddy is in the same spot. Take SF. Singletary wants to crush division rival even if it doesn't get them into the playoffs, it's just his style. The Rams are decimated with injuries and S Jackson might play 10 snaps.

Hostile, you sold me -- Had to make a last-second call and my gut said go with the Niners. Just hope the Rams don't decide to make some sort of statment today about not being as horrible as everything thinks!!
I'm gonna bum if I blow this and Tennessee rolls... I really think Seattle has packed it in and Tennessee wants to get records for CJ. But was still afraid of some of Seattle's good players, still can't believe Hasslebeck is this bad and was afraid they could show up to shut down Tennessee and finish with a win.
Praying now, and good luck to all you others still alive in your pools!!

Both of my opponents took Denver and I am on the Jets. Just how I hoped it would play out. I will know exactly what I am betting at game time tonight.

Looks like the 9ers got him into next week. You can chose any team you want? Over and over again? Why wouldn't everyone just chose whoever the Rams are playing every week? With 27 people left, what are the odds there isn't a lone winner considering the amount of games left? Will it rollover to next year? Good pick with the 9ers by the way. I made it to next week in my loser's pool as well...rode the Saints to an easy loss.

Hey, Guys, thanks for the support! -- Just got home. Yup, the Niners got it done for me, I'm psyched! The Broncos sabotaged it for 9 people so we're down to 18 heading into the playoffs!!! (If Jets lose, down to 17.)
Cougar, no idea if we'll get to the end with one winner or not... No, no rolling over to another year. Now it gets harder for everyone. People can also discuss splitting the pot, but hopefully it won't go down like that, I prefer to play for it all.

Now comes the REAL challenge -- the playoffs!!! No chump teams anymore...
No idea who I'm gonna go with, but right now my leans are probably either the Pats or the Cowboys. Lesser leans with Cincy and AZ, so it'll probably end up one of the first two.
You others who are alive in your pools, who are you going with?

I like all the dogs this weekend so it would have been a tough call for me, would have probably gone with the Packers (homer play). I think the Eagles take down the Cowboys, but BOL nonetheless.
