So, I am in this free radio contest in Seattle with NFL Survivor, and I am still alive (who ever wins gets all expenses to superbowl, no other prizes). There were 14,000 to start out with, and now there are like 300 people left. Here are the teams I can't use: Vikings, Giants, Cowboys, Bengals, Bills, Patriots, Packers, Texans, Steelers, Ravens, Falcons. Since I still haven't used the Bears yet I think I have to slot them for Week 16. That seems like the easiest win left on their schedule (even though it is on the road). Here is what I am considering for future selections: Week 12 Broncos (@Chiefs), Week 13 49ers (@Rams), Week 14 Seahawks (vs. Cardinals), Week 15 (either of Titans (vs. Jets), Redskins (@Browns)) Week 16 Bears (@Cardinals) Week 17 (either Saints (vs. Panthers) or Titans (vs. Jags)). (On Week 17 you also have to pick all the games against the spread and Monday night total as a tiebreaker if more than one team survives through 17 weeks). Any suggestions? Who would you take in week 15?
The week 15 matchup (both) are not that great. Miami at home against jacksonville is what i would take.
Also, your week 12 is tough.. I think KC @ home is always good and denver is poised for a letdown. I again like going against Jacksonville, this time with the titans
skins could be decent against the browns that weekend, as it gets closer you will have a better idea though
Thanks for the thoughts OSU Blazer. I think Denver is going to be way too tough for Kansas City. I don't see KC able to move the ball against the Denver defense that is underrated in my opinion. Then, how exactly is KC going to stop Peyton Manning? In addition, I kind of want to pick Denver before Manning gets hurt. I don't think it is going to happen, but you never know. I considered going Titans, but did you see how Jaxonville did against the Texans defense after Gabbert got hurt? Kind of scary. I may take Miami though if Jacksonville comes back down to earth over the next two weeks.
I say this as a Skins fan who is more pessimistic of his team than most: Take the Redskins over the Browns. RGIII is the real deal (I wasn't a believer) and Alfred Morris is running effectively even behind a battered offensive line. Pierre Garcon being back in the lineup is huge as he provides a receiver that can get separation, which the Skins were lacking when he was out. The Browns, on the other hand, are finding new ways to lose. Anyway, good luck with the contest. It would be amazing to win with that many people entered.
Still in it. I'm still thinking 49ers is my best pick this week. Could go with ballsy picks of Panthers visiting Chiefs, but I think going safe is probably best. 279 people left.
