I can't believe none of you liked the KC pick, Gabbert had a broken throwing thumb, no Justin Blackmon, plus he is LOL GABBA GABBA.

Steelers -6.5 vs. Titans
Lions -4.5 vs. Vikings
Seahawks -3.5 @ Panthers
Bucs -3.5 @ Jets
Texans -3.5 @ Chargers

Lost 2 won 2...one to go.

How crazy would it have been if Indy, NE, Tampa, and Pit all lost.

I avoided it more because if KC was as good as they are suppose to be, they will have better matchups.

I personally hate waiting for better matchups and saving teams in these pools. It's pretty difficult to make it past week 6-7 as it is. Chances are, that matchup that you were saving ends up being for nothing.

I just wanted to see KC, was not confident enough. But what matchup could possibly be better than Jax?

My brother picked KC...Didn't like the pick too much at first but was such a great pick obviously since they destroyed JAX.

I'm not really sure what this means. Just pick the team that gives you the best chance of winning.

40% of the people in Yahoo picked Indy, so they're out. If Indy loses (which should happen 30% of the time or so), you've eliminated almost half your competition.

I also didn't go with NE, because if you can only use NE once, I'd rather use them when they are at home.

The only other game with a spread of >7 was Denver. yeah, you could probably find better spots with Denver than Baltimore, (like say, vs SD), but I think it's probably less of a swing than NE being at home vs NE being on the road. Plus more people picked NE week 1, so that was the deciding factor for me.

I imagine KC will be a bigger favorite at home against a team like Oakland.

wat?

Obviously it's straight up. I'm using spread to determine which teams have the best chance of winning each game.

bengals too.

Probably gonna go with NE because they just have by far the best chance of winning. Arguments could be made for other teams, though. Philly's best matchup of the year could be next week at home against the Chargers. If few people take them and the Chargers stink it up vs Houston, I could see them being a good bet.

Anyone else thinking Bengals? Would be nice to save the Texans and Pats and the Bengals don't have too many easy home games. Worried I might be overreacting to how bad the Steelers looked in 1 game.

Well, I've hot two tickets live in the Last Man Standing. Against the spread.

What two teams should I pick? If there's a lock out there, do I double up on one team? Also, what about hedging with a straight up bet?

Dallas to me is a lock this weekend. Line overreacted greatly to a KC team that beat a horrendous Jax team.

Yes, keep taking underdogs in a survivor pool. That's a brilliant strategy.

And they didn't beat a horrendous Jax team. They stomped a horrendous Jax team. Arguably the most lopsided game of the week.

All really good picks along with Philly and Houston. I just hesitate with NE because so many people are going with them and I'm trying to outlast these people, not pick the same games as them.

I thought he said against the spread. Dallas in mine is +3.5. Yes I'll take the points in that game.
