I'd go Baltimore. Nathan Peterman is probably worse than Craig Krenzel.

I would take Saints, to me Week 1 is the toughest, Saints seem like the surest here this week.

I went with Baltimore.

80 participants this year, Over HALF of the league is down 1 loss (you're allowed double elimination) already because majority went with Saints over TB, and some picked Steelers over Browns (tie is considered a loss).

I've been in this league 5 or 6 years now, I've never seen that before.


Bills look like this years Browns at this rate.

I'm one of 8 left in the league with 0 losses, after starting out with over 80 participants. Bills beating up on the Vikings a few weeks back took out over half the league.

Not sure where to go this week. I'm leaning Saints over Redskins.

A lot of people are probably going Patriots to beat Colts, but I just don't like Thursday night games and Patriots are vulnerable.

Colts have half their roster out with injury. Pats are gonna roll tonight.

Agree -- would be even more shocking than the Bills win over the Vikings to see Indy get an upset @ NE.

I end up picking Saints over Redskins in a laugher, but yeah you all were right...Patriots kicked ass.

This week, I'm thinking Minnesota over the Cardinals. Or Packers over 49ers.

Down to 4 entries with 0 losses, including me. Plenty of others that have 1 loss, but the tie-breaker always goes to the undefeated entries at the end of the year first.


I'm picking the Packers at home to beat the Dolphins. If you let a bad team from Miami come into 30 degree weather and win, then you might as well fire McCarthy at the end of the game.

The other 3 undefeated teams have used Packers in previous weeks, so I know I'd be the only one going for them.

Down to 3. Someone tried to overthink it and figured that the Jets could beat the Bills at home.

Week 11 will be my most difficult to date. More than likely, I'll go with the Panthers beating the Lions in Detroit. I've already used the most obvious choices.

Carolina should kick the crap out of Detroit no matter the field. What pool of teams can you choose from?

312player, I've already used BAL, LAR, CHI, LAC, NO, MIN, ATL, PIT, KC, GB.

According to the Survivor Grid, my top 3 choices of the week are AZ (over OAK) , CAR (over DET), and HOU (over WAS).

Went with Carolina. Loss. Riverboat Ron goes for two at the end and Cam couldn't throw to a wide open player. They didn't deserve to win at all yesterday.

It's a double elimination league, so there's only one guy left with 0 losses. Had the Jags not jagged off at the end versus Pittsburgh, everyone would be at 1 loss.

This was the hardest week I've seen in a while. Looks to be easier in upcoming weeks.

Apparently, the person who was the only one without a loss in the survivor league was a deadbeat and never paid his dues...the commish said they tried to reach out several times to no avail. I noticed that their picks were always set to auto, so maybe the person just isn't there? Anyway, they missed out on a potentially huge pay day, and now there are 11 teams left with just one loss, including yours truly.

I ended up going with the Colts, who gave me a scare but they pulled it out at the end.
I'm going with Philly beating the Redskins on MNF for this upcoming week. If they can't beat Colt McCoy at home, then I don't deserve to win the pool.

I could also go with the Seahawks beating the Niners, but I feel like I may need the Seahawks in Week 17.

Went with Philly last night. Never really in doubt, although the Wentz red zone pick and the AP 90 yard run had me a tad concerned.

For Week 14, I'm thinking of going with Patriots over Dolphin.

11 people remain. Had the 49ers upset the Seahawks, it would have wiped out over half of the remaining teams.
