NFL 2025 Survivor talk

[stevenash]

Apologies, have no idea what happened above. Likely maybe Nasher running up likes/looks?

That's what's known as an inadvertent double post.
No worries.

Regarding bumping threads, I'm from the 'let the thread die of its own volition old school.

[Headsterx]

This thread won’t die as we’re all going survive to the end!

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Looks like Stingley is active for the Texans which is what I was waiting to see. I feel pretty good about the Texans D putting forth a great effort today. There is always a concern but the big one I have today is Titan's DT, Jeffrey Simmons. Texans oline has issues and Simmons can wreck games by himself from time to time.

Good luck today fellas

I'm still alive over at Splash Sports (50k).
10.7% were on the Chargers; they're wiped out. Conversely, 0.00% were on the Gee-Men. Everybody else skates into week 5.

Now the fun begins.

I’ve used all the heavy hitters, except Chiefs who I’m saving for Thanksgiving/Black Friday period. Next week I gotta pick teams that I’m not 100% confidence. But looks like either Vikings against Browns or Colts against Raiders look solid wins.

Arizona is my play next weekend. They're tough in the desert, and they host as soft as cream cheese Tennessee Tuxedos.
If not now, when?
Cards!

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Same here, nasher. I actually thought I had used them but changed pick to Denver in week 1.

Arizona is currently -9.5 and almost have to take it even though I do not have a lot of confidence in them.

So far I have used Denver, Dallas, Seattle and Houston...

Ditto, I spent the Broncos in week 1.
To be honest, I wanted Detroit off my plate. They've regressed. I didn't think they'd choke against the Brownies.
Same with 'Zona this week, sure they're vulnerable, but if they can't beat Tenn. next week, at home, then I deserve to get knocked out.

If the Cards get it done next week, then the fun begins. I have plenty of 'big boy' teams in my pocket.

I guess touting my own book, but this just smelled to me. Folks not looking at the schedule (ebbs and flows) of the emotions.

"LAC ... Just played 3 divisional opponents (super focused). Cross country and may be a little flat."

Newer edge for week 5, but teams JAX staying over in Europe last year and (MIN) this week have huge advantage, although they are actually traveling (Ireland to London) I believe?

For the record I'm 6/8 with 1 pick DEN tonight to be 7/8. FYI guy with 50 picks has already lost 33 or so. Has DEN tonight for circa 8 so he'll be about even with me after 4 weeks. Trying to overwhelm a pool is very tricky and subject to a very long conversation.

That very same thought crossed my mind twice already, and my mind is flooded today, and it's only Monday. lol

I'm not overthinking anything here; overthinking things gets you into trouble, trust me on that: Cards or bust.

[Madison]

Don't trust AZ for $2 but this looks like the spot. Have 4 left.

2 teams I'm clueless on CAR/ATL which is why I stayed off NE last week.

I almost talked myself down off of Detroit for NE.
It all worked out.

[Enkhbat]

Many entries are gone thanks to the Packers and the Chargers. Hopefully Denver win on MNF.

Next week I am thinking Arizona, Indianapolis and Detroit.

Agree Az, DET. Are we ready to trust IND vs a relatively fiesty LV??? Saving IND for week 8 vs TEN.

[Madison]

Love the educated input. Hopefully those regulars who may get eliminated stay engaged. I know tough to do as I've been eliminated late last 4 of 5 years, and the disappointment can pop the balloon.

[trobin31]

Miami anyone ? lol

Give me New Orleans

[Headsterx]

Niners took out a few players. Looks like more players are eliminated than survivors.. Let’s stay alive guys.

[Ian]

AZ is big chalk and outside of week 16 vs. Atl I don't know when else to take them, but they are super public. Over 25% of the yahoo pool was on them as of yesterday. If they lose that's a huge boost to everybody left in the pool.

New Orleans is a little better than a coin flip, but almost nobody is on them and I can't imagine using them again. If the line doesn't change or gets closer to 3 I'll probably be rolling the dice with them in at least some of my pools.

GL to all this week!

Both teams I imagine wouldn't get used again. I originally had AZ and switched to N.O. As a saints fan I know they suck. But all the public money is on NY and I love fading the public at home. AZ lost Benson to IR so they have 1 RB with experience in dimercado. Kyler is trash this year. At some point cam ward will have a good game. Zona probably wins especially being home after a Thursday night game which was also at home, having extended rest which is almost like coming off a bye week. But in survivor as you progress at some point you need to fade the obvious and hope to knock a bunch of ppl out.

18% of my 1250 lines pool went down. About 580 left.

[stevenash]

Before I overthought everything, I locked in Az. on Wednesday.
I'm playing the Cards (see what I did there) on Sunday.

Here's what's going on at Circa, the granddaddy of the Survivor Pools.

Confused by the numbers next to the teams, that is number of players who picked them this week or players that still have them available to pick?

Ugh! Titans are hanging in there. Let’s go Cards! If they hold this lead, I’m so glad I’m done with them for the rest of the season.

Are you kidding me?
That shit was insane.

Fumble Return Touchdown

(Shotgun) C.Ward pass short left INTERCEPTED by D.Taylor-Demerson at ARZ 6. D.Taylor-Demerson to ARZ 5 for -1 yards. FUMBLES, touched at ARZ 6, RECOVERED by TEN-T.Lockett at ARZ 0. TOUCHDOWN. J.Slye extra point is GOOD, Center-M.Cox, Holder-J.Hekker.
3rd & 2 at ARI 20

4:39 - 4th

And like Undertaker rising from the coffin, the Bengals, all of a sudden, are making Detroit backers very uncomfortable.
Benji's scores fourteen unanswered in the fourth quarter.

Well Cam Ward certainly didnt have a break out game and arizona definitely lost that more than Tennessee won that...either way I'm glad I switched to New Orleans.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

What a gutting way to go out...literally can't make it up.

It probably saved us the heartbreak of losing at a later point in the season, however...

Lost 4 of my remaining 7 with AZ. Major competition didn't really use them. BIG blow for me. 300 left of 1250. Would have been huge. Circa 30K. Lost last year on last game GB/CHI. Wearing down.

Then in my differential pool I had DET and lost 14 points on late CIN scores. Got hurt bad there as an inordinate amount of folks took IND.

Add all that add losing a 5 team ML parlay in the GB/CLV game it's going to take me some time to recover.

[Ian]

Bloodbath. Almost half of the entries went down on ESPN. Seems like lots of good options for next week for those of us still around

[Shark]

I have two entries in a large pool. I had to submit my picks on Thursday. I am going with Rams and Packers. It’s either this week or next week for GB so figured I would use one pick on them this week.

Denver seems like a nice option this week but a lot of people used them in week 1.

Need a week to recap. I'm just taking GB with my remaining 3 and hoping.

MY differential pool got tossed upside down with many players taking IND. That gap is going to be hard to overcome.

[Ian]

Goin AI on the Steelers. They're on the public side, but I want to save GB and there's not a whole lot of options to use them again.

GL all.

[Madison]

Thinking of DEN as one of my lines, but have to admit the NYG frontline scares me. Toughts??

Yikes.. At least it isnt snowing. This is def a hard week for survivor but if u didn't use the Chiefs yet and don't have to down the road that be my pick. Def don't hate Steelers but it's a division game on the road and not against the Raiders The Favs got to come in at some point AMIRITE? LOL Here we go Steelers
