NFL Survivor Picks - Page 206 - Sports Betting - SportsBetting Strategy and Forum

Clicked through a bunch of teams on Nitrogen, didn't see any Chicago or GB picks. Not sure if they'd show or not. For transparency reasons, I'd hope they would. I know they do for TNF games later in the season.

After much clicking, I found one. User 5074238 in the 0.0001 BTC pool picked the Packers. Appears no one in the top 3 pools picked Packers or Bears. Always been a little uncertain about transparency in these Nitrogen pools. They could be much better run.

ty, i appreciate the explanation.

The reason the Jets don't have much future value is that they may be a "shitbum" team (although they may be closer to mediocre). I wouldn't pick them this week, because their game is a toss-up and they have a stretch later in the season of:

All of a sudden, Denver seems like an attractive pick this week. Might spend one of my tickets on them.

I wish there was an API or some tool to extract everyone's picks on Nitrogen. Really wish they upgraded their software. It's been very lackluster for years and last year there was the big issue with early London game.

Dallas, Baltimore, New Orleans, Cleveland in that order.

Little sprinkle on LAC & 1 on NYJ.

Taking ZERO Philadelphia & Seattle. Seattle is a big favorite nearly every Week 1 it seems. FADE FADE FADE

Still deciding on how many Nitrogen pools and entries I'll enter.

I'm mostly on the favorites: Seattle, Dallas and Philly.

Few sprinkles on cle and nyj.

Guess I'm fading NO and LAC, but not much excitement or off the charts picks for me this week.

Still deciding, but I'm looking at a lot of DAL and some PHI.

I feel like I'm REALLY missing something on the NYJ pick. Unless it's a pool with a ton of double picks.

I am heavy on NYJ on Nitrogen. I am treating this like a re-buy pool. For pools that lock at 1PM I think best picks is DAL. Followed by Philly, and then SEA. I don't have any Philly though and likely will have some Seattle and MAYBE some DET. I have tiny sprinkles on Baltimore and 1 insignificant cost entry on Carolina.
