still 6 left....and 2 people have done it w/o using Denver.
This week Vegas likes the Packers & Dolphins.
Should be interesting!

I don't know what I think about the 2 people who used Denver last week against Jacksonville.
Was it a good move? A sure thing?
Or should they have saved Denver for later on?
I don't know.

I am still sitting on Denver, Seattle, S.F., K.C.
I am happy.
I have tried my best to stay away from the "obvious" pick, trying to be "alone" with my pick.
Never before was in a survivor pool. Win or lose it has been fun.

I took Denver in this pool because I got burned by Atlanta the week before in another pool. Last week I wanted the sure thing so I could live to fight another day. I was hoping the other 5 people would go out last week but nobody helped me out! :twisted:

I was THRILLED to survive the last 2 weeks using Greenbay and the Bears. I figured I had to use one or both of them at some point, so I went back to back with both teams winning at home. Being a Bears fan there was NO DOUBT in my mind one of those teams was going to screw me.
But I survived.

I think I'm taking the fudge Packers this week... it will be the only time I root for Green Bay!

K.C at home.

I'm still not buying what the Chiefs are selling.

And they already played the Jags.

Ill buy them at home...
Against a Houston team that is all beat up....

SPEEDY MCCREADY

K.C wins this week, and I move on?
I have 3 straight weeks of

Denver at home
Seattle at home
Frisco at home

Then I may have to use my head.
And that's when the trouble starts.

This thing could end any week. Still lacking payment from one participant, supernaut1125. I removed a couple that were too late.

I like my chances...

But we will see.

Even though the 49ers are making the cross country trip to Jacksonville I still feel pretty confident about this week. The Chargers made the same trip last week and handled the Jags pretty easily.

Isnt this game in London? (For real....)
I am still taking SF. The Jags are fucking inept. Unless the 49ers miss their flight across the pond there is no way the Jags beat them.

I guess it is in London but like you said it shouldn't matter with this game.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

I wanted to take Carolina
I should have taken Carolina
I was all over Carolina
And then I didn't take Carolina..

Thursday night games are just fucking weird.

That said
I wish I took Carolina!

JTH

I stay the hell away from the Thursday night games unless I have no real alternatives.

I hear ya.
But last nights game was damn near as close to a "sure bet" as you can get.
I was all over the 49ers this Sunday, until I found out they are in London. Now I want nothing to do with that game. I don't care if they are playing Jacksonville or if they are playing a Girl Scout troop. Im stayin away from that game.

Denver or Seattle.

Yeah, I can see that. I think I'm still gonna stick with the Niners, but I'm not as confident in that pick as I was when I made it.

F Me In The Brain

I dont think Jacksonville even scores this week. Niners destroy them.
(I also wish I picked Carolina. I bet on them with the spread but sold myself that picking Niners over Jags was a safer pick. Time will tell!)

Niners should indeed destroy them.
I just wish I had some balls, and had just taken Carolina.

:P

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Seattle loses and I am the only one knocked out this week?

I have a feeling not too many people here, are going to be cheering for Seattle this evening.

JTH

I'm pretty sure you're safe this week.

JTH

Aaaaaannnnd...

Looking ahead to next week: Bears in Green Bay on Monday night. I'm the only one still left in this thing who hasn't used the Packers. I can't NOT take them, can I?

If you guys haven't checked it out, the stat page has some interesting percentages and tell how many players have each team still to pick.

F Me In The Brain

Score differential and wins left. Indeed interesting....and of course all it takes is one week's pick to kill us!

SPEEDY MCCREADY

Never a doubt in my mind...

But I screwed this up...
I backed off of the 49ers(for no reason other than I was an idiot)....
And now I am kind of screwed next week...Both the 49ers and Denver are off.
Had I just taken the 49ers in London, I would now have back to back weeks of Seattle and Denver at home.
I fucked this all up. Now I am leaning towards Cincy? on the road or Dallas at home.

I had it so damned easy for the next 3 weeks, had I just taken the 49ers over Jacksonville in London. Easily the worst decision I have made regarding this pool. Next week isn't going to be easy for anyone. Except of course for the guy still sitting on Green Bay. They should beat the Bears by 30 or so.

I'm taking the Pack. If I'm eliminated, that's the game I want to be wrong on.

But I'm not going to be wrong.
