NFL Survivor Picks - Page 31 - Sports Betting - SportsBetting Strategy and Forum

I've settled on the Steelers in my smaller pools (<15 entrants remaining) and the Titans in my larger pool (150 entrants left) as this is the last week of the rebuy period.

lol at anyone that picks Caroliona. Tennessee isn't a solid pick, but there's value for them in later weeks vs. Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Jacksonville too.

I took San Diego across the board. There are more spots to take Pittsburgh than San Diego in later weeks.

i dunno much about these but doesn't like psychology come into it. like one group i'm in i know they just pick whoever is the highest % as reported by cbs, so i chose ten bc in this one league i used pit and i thought ten was second best because i knew they would almost all pick San Diego

now picks are locked and in this one particular group (11 left) 9/11 = SD, 1/11 = TEN (me), 1/11 = ARI

so like IMO i'm sitting real nice right now.

i guess it comes down to do you want to win or do you want to bust at the same time as everyone else and split the prize pool 90 ways

I meant that Tenn IS a solid pick.

Survive and look for a more realistic spot to pick against the majority.

KC made things interesting but I am safely through to Week 4 and so is about 80% of the people in my Pool.

A few stragglers got knocked out courtesy of the Bills, the Gmen, and the Raiders. I am hoping the Colts can hang on and that would knock off a few more.

Plenty of options to choose for Week 4 (Philadelphia, Green Bay, Chicago or even San Diego if you still have them)

Texans, Jets, Chargers.

Got to go with the Bears, Bucs, or Packers next week. Will probably roll w/ the Bucs as the only other chance to use them is vs. Carolina plus Colts are aids.

I have been eliminated 3 straight years with the Packers. Looks like next week will be my early exit.

Thinking about Chargers, Packers, or Bucs - used Texans, Giants, Panthers.

I know this is silly but I went ahead and made a draft of how I would pick the rest of the season.

Already picked and gotten correct: Hou, Det, SD

In order, the rest: TB, Pitt, Atl, Dallas, Sf, Oak, Philly, Ne, Balt, Chi, NYJ, GB, Buff, NO

Would have against the chiefs 6x this season lol. Obv this was just for entertainment purposes. Not anything close to set in stone.
