Pro football survivor - KJR

[WizardHawk]

congrats tech, looks like another week without losing a ton off the contest. We probably still have over 200 left.

I never expected to be alive this long and I'd be shocked if I'm still in it when it gets down to the last remaining. Been a fun ride anyway. On to next week.

Ditto with everything you've said! This has been so much fun. Win or lose, this has been a fun ride!

Damn, looking at this weeks matchups, I'm sure just about everyone that hasn't used the Rams already is going to take them this week. Either go with the masses, or pick something else and hope for the 9'ers to take the upset win on the road and have massive amounts of people dumped from it. Tough call.

Oh man, you can't bank on the 49ers.....come on man!

Taking the Rams at home seems like the closest thing to a sure bet you can have in the NFL given the dumpster fire that is the 9'ers, but is this the week to take that game? Carolina at home giving 7 to the colts is a close second, but I hate betting on Cam.

You hate betting on Cam worse then betting on the 49ers?

 

[WizardHawk]

no no, the bet is on the Rams to BEAT the 9'ers. Rams are a huge favorite at home. There is zero chance I'd bet on the 9'ers to do anything more than shard on their own shoes in any game this season.

 

[WizardHawk]

The question was, do you take this obvious play given there are like 206 people left and probably over half will be taking this game, or do you take something else and secretly hope for the upset to knock out most of the field? Not that it would happen.

Take the Rams. Course I suck at this so......

 

[WizardHawk]

My best choices left on the board are KC at home against the Lions, Cam at home vs Luck, or the Rams at home vs giners.

I still have the Falcons available. Cashing it in. I think (providing Atlanta wins) after that, all the match ups down the road are going to suck.

Yeah, I burned Atlanta last week so that one wasn't on my board.
The following week is going to be a tough one for a lot of people. Most likely I'll be looking hard at the Chargers.

Welcome to Hell, my friend....... welcome to hell...........

Well Wiz, you are not in the minority. A bunch of people took (as did you) picked the Rams. All I have to say is..... GO NINERS!!!!

Well, it was fun while it lasted.....

Congrats Wiz! I hope you make it all the way.

Oh shit, didn't notice Atlanta failed.
Damn man.

@Tech_God , I'm looking hard at both the Saints and Bengals this week. Hard not to take the Bengals at home against the Browns, but I bet 3/4 of the people left are going to hit that one. Saints at home vs the Titans after just firing their HC can't be a bad play can it? I kind of like keeping the Bengals for another tougher week and using the Saints on the only week I'd probably even consider them. But man, this shit's getting harder and harder.

 

[WizardHawk]

So I did end up taking the freaking Saints and of course they shit the bed at home to the hapless Titans.
The Saints have to be one of the very worst teams in the league. Can't beat a head coachless bottom feeder at home.

Oh well. You have to take chances in a contest like this and I had already gotten lucky a couple of weeks on close calls. My time fail was overdue.
