    just like the late and great Jim Valvano used to say about the NCAA tournament..."just survive and advance!"....

    I'm a little surprised you guys are not a bit more interested/involved with what your competition has selected. To me that's half the fun and opportunity.

    people that think like that are the ones who wind up losing and getting knocked out early...they are the ones that try to get cute using your criteria...IMO, it's not fun nor is it an opportunity...the NFL is a week to week league and on any given Sunday anything can happen and usually does...Just pick the best possible bet each and every week and as long as you win, it really doesn't matter what the competition does as they will be eliminated sooner or later...

    I'm alive n the big pool (barely) 1/60 but several strong players have 2 and 3 picks so sucking wind. Bad play by me last week with GB.

    In my smaller pool I'm 2/31 with about 9K split 1-3.

    I could talk survivor for hours as I believe 75% of the $$ is dead money

    My browser has ben flaky or I'd elaborate more

    It will get interesting from here. GL!

    Ravens won easily!......no shame in picking them at home against a shitty outfit like the Browns...I still have Baltimore left as well but I decided to go with the safer pick in Arizona...next several weeks there will be plenty of hair pulling, fingernail biting, foot stomping and tons of alka-seltzer consumed!...

    whew!..that was close!...dodged a major bullet there!...live to fight another week!...onto week #11!......early lean is Pittsburgh even though they are on the road...they've owned the Browns in recent years and they should be rather desperate after back-to-back losses...

    what are your lean(s) for next week, Sam?...I think I might use Pitt even though they are on the road...much better team than Cleveland and they should be in desperate mode right now.

    Based on strategy I won't go Pitt b/c they are the road team. Obviously they should beat up on the Browns...but here's what you are looking at week 11

    Dallas home to Baltimore
    Detroit home to Jax
    Gmen home to Bears
    Pitt at Cleveland.....NO for me against home team strategy
    NE at SF....again NO due to home team strategy
    Seattle home to Phily
    Oakland home to Houston

    Other than Dallas, I have every one of those teams available to pick....again me personally I take out NE and PITT leaving my Detroit, Seattle, Giants, Oakland

    As of now I lean Giants home to the Bears. Still can't trust Detroit. Phily is good opponent against Seattle and Oakland is my 2nd pick. Even betting odds doesn't love Oakland still at 7-2 only 4 point early favorites

    I'm sticking with Giants this week. I still can't get on board with lions actually have a winning record right now, still feel that they are going to explode like always even with Jax having a horrible season.

    I still have the Giants available as well...and the Bears are a putrid team, no doubt about it...and 99.9% of the time I do indeed go with the home team in a survivor pool (it's my number one criteria) however Steelers will be pissed off and angry this week and after losing two in a row, they should put together a solid "A" game and crush the Browns...I still can't trust the Lions but I will take a look at the G-Men after the vegas line comes out!...

    the only time I'll even consider going with a road team is if they are heavily favored...in the NFL that means by more than a TD...the only spreads that fit that criteria are New England and Pitt....I already used the Pats on Tom Brady's first game back against the Browns...easy winner!...I also considered the Raiders since they are at home but the Texans are a weird ass team...look great one week and shit the bed the next...so typical of the parity in today's NFL....ditto for Detroit against Jax...the Jags actually showed up and put up a good fight against KC in Arrowhead...the two best bets this week are Pats and Steelers....no need to overthink it....the only thing I'm waiting for now is to make sure there are no injuries during the week...although with the new CBA, teams aren't allowed to hit in pads anymore in practice!...

    well, this might seal the deal for me...Big Ben calls this game against Cleveland a "must" win...and Big Ben's career record against the Browns is 19 - 2!.......my week #11 pick is Pittsburgh Steelers!...

    pitt will not lose to the Browns...Big Ben is 19 - 2 against them in his career...Steelers have lost 4 in a row and are very desperate...they are more talented and have more depth...they are better coached although Tomlin makes more than his fair share of coaching blunders...this game has 34 - 13 written all over it.

    Just worried about weather taking away the Pitt passing game. Their D is pretty bad.
    Tomlin is one of the worst in game coaches period.

    Well, Tough week for me. In my smaller pool only 3 people had NE and 8 Pitt so I rolled the dice and went with them despite road. Hope I can get an upset elsewhere.

    WEEK 12 early thoughts???

    Cowboys home to Redskins
    Miami home to SF
    Buffalo home to Jax
    New Orleans home to Rams
    Giants at Cleveland
    NE at Jets

    Every game I just posted has a line of 7-8 points. I took Gmen this past week and Cowboys earlier in year.

    Early lean....NEW ORLEANS
