There are 100 entries left, 13 of which have no losses.
I have 6 entries left with one loss each.
At what point is some kind of contrarian strategy indicated?
How many games should I pick with my 6 entries? I would normally do 2 or 3...
Always makes sense to be contrarian.
Does this go into the playoffs?
As far as how many games, the main factor is you're being non-contrarian against yourself. With only 6% of entries, that's mostly not a big deal, so it's more about your appetite for risk. If you're picking a team specifically because only e.g. 2-3% of entries will have them then it doesn't make sense to load up all 6 of your entries on that team. If 30% of entries are on a team, then it's less of an issue.
