KC, that is certainly digging deep into the well of available picks.

What makes you pick them over teams like Baltimore or Houston, who are going to be just as unpopular, have just as much future value, but are slightly more likely to win?

How big is this pool?

I already picked Baltimore and I don't think Houston is a reliable team. 3 of KCs losses are vs top 5 teams and they are a fairly good home team and DET is a complete wreck.

Houston seems like a much riskier play

I'm taking the Rams but I am pretty sure my sole opponent is going to take them as well, which means we'll be on to next week where I can take NE hosting WAS but he cannot b/c he already used them.

He has used GB NO NE SEA ATL NYJ ARI

I have used DEN BAL NYG SEA ATL GB ARI

Thanks for any advice!

Carolina & Atlanta in the big pool.

Kansas City & Houston in double elimination with Tiebreakers & midseason.

Atlanta, Carolina & St. Louis in rebuy pools (no more rebuys)

St Louis in pool I'm HU in. My opponent through with New England

I advanced with the Rams. I'll win the pool if Carolina gets beat tomorrow.

That was one of the worst viewing experiences I've ever had sweating a Survivor game

What do you think is a better pick this week, Patriots or Jets?

I would go with the Jets. I still have the Pats and I'm trying to save them as long as possible.

Who is better between Pit or NO?

I think the Saints have a better chance of winning tomorrow but they have more long-term value than the Steelers do.

Most likely, you're better off taking NYJ. Patriots have a lot of great plays later in the season and very few players will have them left. If you're HU, I'd take New England

New Orleans has future value but not till Weeks 15 & 16. If you have both teams left, I'd take New Orleans this week and Pittsburgh next week. Most people don't have Pittsburgh remaining

I advanced with NE and my opponent made it with the Bengals, whom I am likely taking next week when they host Houston on MNF.

Was all in on NE, which I hate to take the most popular pick and biggest favorite 99% of the time but didn't like NYJ, ATL, New O at all and 2/3 of those ended up getting upset.

Chopped my last pool with Green Bay & St. Louis both losing.

Wild, wild, wild Survivor Pool year. Weeks 2 & 10 both had 10 upsets.

I was in a Double Picks Survivor Pool that started in Week 9. Nearly 400 entries. Everyone has been eliminated. Incredible

Winner for the Survivor Pool season and ready get back to my roots --- making fun of bad coaching

Wild week indeed, in a 89 left pool, 63 were on GB, 1 on BAL, 4 on DEN. 3 got through w/CAR, 5 on NE, 12 on CIN; I had 2 entries 1 on NE, 1 on CIN still to be decided. 9 remain if CIN loses and I'll have 1 entry or 21 left if CIN wins and I'll be the only one left with 2 entries.

My lone opponent had the Eagles yesterday. I'll be victorious if the Bengals can hold on.

CIN win would of been nice as then I wouldn't have wanted to chop at all and been in control w/2 entries w/21 left in a decent sized pool but alas it's now the final 9 and I have 1 entry.

Looks like we're already negotiating some sort of partial chop, it's a 20k n change pool I'm hoping for a 1k guaranteed each and play for the rest, we'll see though. From first glance this week looks somewhat brutal as well.

Seattle is a 12-pt favorite. What else could you ask for? Since teams can be picked an unlimited amount of times in that pool, your options are very simple...

With only 9 people remaining

Pick the biggest favorite... Or Pick New England since they're 2nd biggest favorite and also play on Monday - that gives you some options if Seattle loses Sunday
