Best thing to do is lineup your remaining picks (I'm sure you've thought about it), and then post for advice.
I see you haven't used:
-Jax - still has @SF and @Cle
-MIN - vs. Cin Wk. 15
-CAR - tricky, nothing super easy - this week vs. Mia, @NYJ - wk. 12
-CHI - not a great team, but vs. CLE in wk. 16
Thanks for replying - know it takes a couple minutes to figure out what's going on in that post.
Here's what I had jotted down for future picks -- not sure where I got NYJ/HOU from..
week 10: lions
week 11: jaguars
week 12: titans? texans?
week 13: bears
week 14: chargers? texans?
week 15: browns? 49ers?
week 16: jaguars if not week 11?
week 17: ravens?
Been doing this pool for maybe 6 years now and *typically*, everyone strikes out. Last year, with a smaller pool, 3 people made it to the end with 2 strikes. Point totals 307 / 283 / 276.
So I'm sitting at 188 with 8 weeks to go. To reach 300, I need an average of 14 points per pick.
But agreed, week 16 is the only other time to use the Jets, and it's far from a lay up against the Chargers. Had planned to take the Jags @ SF that week.
So, I could go:
(week 10 / 11 / 16)
Detroit / Jaguars / Jets
or
Jets / Jaguars / ?
Week 11 is tough, there's really no good matchups for me to pick except the Jags. Pretty much have to take them there, and 10 people out of 13 in front of me already picked the Jags. So that should in theory be a good chance to make up ground / put them at risk.
Other week 16 picks would maybe be the Ravens (home vs IND), and uhh .. going to use the Bears week 13 vs SF so they aren't an option .. maybe Carolina at home vs the Bucs, far from a layup..
Might be best to just go safe, pick DET as I assume many others will - might see a bunch of Bears picks at home vs GB. Some people may gamble on taking SF vs NYG, then try to gain ground in week 11 when I can take the Jags and most everyone else can't.
too early in the morning for all this thinking
