I had originally planned to take the Eagles this week, but considering their entire team went down last night, I'm very hesitant.

In a double picks pool, I think you have to consider TB this week.

Someone in the 0.1 btc ($1000) pool didn't make a pick for week 2.

Looks like Nitrogen forgot to grade Week 2. My entries with Carolina are still alive.

I have a program to run a Monte Carlo simulation. If you have win% and pick% then EV for a given week is pretty straight forward. Survivorgrid also has the numbers.

Carolina was 0.92 EV vs 1.13 for the Pats. so .92/1.13 = ~20% of value surrendered. 1/(1-.2) = 25% edge you need to gain later to get back to whole.

Tough week this week for those of us who used Dallas week 1.

SF, GB, MIN all viable options. Don't want to spend Philly because they still have a home game against Miami and probably too early to use NE.

I’d be weary of picking Philly because of injury concerns. I say this as an Eagles fan

I'm likely shoving on Dallas except for my few entries I used them. Only reason considering holding them in my quiver is they look good for week 9 and barely anyone else will have them.

What is the optimal strategy for a pool with 7,000 left and has mandatory 2 picks this week? Weeks 13 through 17 have mandatory double picks depending on who is left. When I went the distance in 2017 I had to make double picks 13, 14, 16, and 17 due to people left.

I can do majority Cowboys/Pats on my multiple entries but is that a dumb strategy?

Keep in mind this pool actually has ended in weeks 13-15. It ended in 15 last year due to week 3 wiping out 90% of pool given all the upsets last year (Vikings, Patriots, Jaguars, etc)

I that kinda pool I'd be taking TB this week for sure. Probably with MIN, possibly DAL.

I agree. Tampa Bay for sure. I’d prefer Dallas with them

im leaning towards minnesota because week 9 looks like a shitshow and the ev on survivor grid isnt too far off from dallas

look SF over Pit. Pit historically is terrible traveling far west. backup QB. plus they just haven't looked very good.

This isn't the type of answer he was looking for

Does 189 have DAL or NE available? I would assume he/she is going AI 50% each here?

No way he/she will go 50/50. I assume will still have entries on MIN/TB...

in my thursday deadline pool

58% dallas
16% new england
8% minnesota

In what I think is across all ESPN pools:

60% Dallas
7% NE
5% GB
3% Minnesota
3% Chicago
3% Buffalo
3% SF

A small % of these were picked at the beginning of the season by people now knocked out

Surprising there is no TB. Or at least < 3%

TB might be my 2nd favorite pick this week.

LOL, everyone is taking that Daniel Jones preseason performance against guys who got cut to heart apparently. I'll be on TB most likely, just because I wasted Dallas in week 1.

Why is no one mentioning Buffalo? Defense has looked great, they are at home for the first time, probably the best time to pick them if you plan to go the distance and Cincinnati is garbage.
NFL Survivor Picks Quote
09-20-2019 , 09:05 AM
Probably because Cincinnati has looked at least semi-competitive through 2 games and Buffalo still gets 2 cracks at Miami.
