NFL 2025 Survivor talk

Week 18 is a league flex week; it's hard to tell.

NFL Schedule - Week 18 Regular Season, 2025 - ESPN

I think I’m going Indy/indy with my two entries or Atlanta/indy.

I like the Atl pick too, especially for people who haven't already used NE because they both figure to be huge chalk week 11.

What are people's thoughts on week 18? I didn't really plan for it, but I'm thinking it might be a good idea to save some marginal/middle of the pack teams that could potentially be fighting for a playoff spot in the last week. Is it worth saving Atl, LAR, and/or TB, especially in larger field pools that are likely to go to the end?

The Colts open -14.5
Sunday would be the time to play Indy.

In my differential pool I got killed by IND in wk 4/5? I have them wk 8. Hopefully they don't turn into a pumpkin then??

[Madison]

Yeah if you don’t have Denver available in week 10 you are going to have a helluva time.

Agreed with last 3 posts. Thought I dodged the DEN bullet, but 10% survived. I have IND and LAR available the next 2 weeks.

Waiting on IND or NE to turn into the Pumpkin they may be. Look at NE opponents. Outside BUF could they be any worse?

I chose to survive last week with 2 KC and 1 CHI.

I avoided DEN solely cause I had 1 of 3 available in week 10.

[Shark]

The week after doesn't seem bad, but week 10 could be a mass culling. I'll just take big chalk the next two week and hope something fluky doesn't happen and then hope to get lucky week 10

I'm a live 3 lines out of 1300. Alive 2nd pool differential. Anyone talking here>

Huh?

I'm still alive in a few pools. It looks like everyone who wasn't on the Steelers made it through the week. Lots of big chalk next week. Either the Bengals or Colts seem like easy choices next week, and Buf, NE, and Bal all seem defensible.

Browns

Thank God

[Ian]

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

Pittsburgh was week 6 for me.

Still undecided for this week. I was thinking Chicago, but they're super public and it seems like sharp money is pouring in on the other side. The Browns have little/no future value and they're not at all public, but the downside is that they're the Browns. KC, NE, GB, and Den are public picks to varying degrees and there are good spots to take them down the road.

I'm feeling less confident in this week's choices than any other week so far.

[stevenash]

Whackiest NFL season I've seen in years.

[Shark]

I’m using KC for both of my entries. There’s not a great spot to use them in the coming weeks.

[stevenash]

I'm out.

Denver would be the play.
The kid (Dart) is in a bad spot, in Denver against that defense.

[2Sweeet]

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.

That def cracks my top 10 of all time bad beats if u just needed Arizona outright. Hopefully u win this week. If u r in Circa Survivor it has to be Steelers Denver or Guess u have to save the Chiefs. Denver def an option but we see how they work at times. They could of lost the last 2 games. If u r feeling frisky and don't want to take the OBV. It be Charges for me 100000%

[2Sweeet]

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.

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

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

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.

[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.

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.

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...

[ThaWoj]

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.

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.

[stevenash]

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.

Good luck to us sir

Thanks, bud. Good luck to us, indeed, JP, and to the rest of you fellas. Good luck.

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?

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

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

[ThaWoj]

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!
