2021 NFL survivor discussion

Im thinking the vikings are going to be the most popular...

It's weird saying this but the Lions scare me. They've had a couple close games, I think it is bound to happen...now they are a bad team, might be the worst team (Jags are in that conversation).

They arent a layup. Ive been steadfast in that when deciding games. Depends on the matchup.

its also the vikings... although they have a team that disappears... they are good enough, and consistent enough not to do enough stupid things to lose that game... Cousins kind of sucks, but he is one of the better QBs at not getting turnovers...

Pats
Vikings
Bucs
Cowboys
Ravens

Ppl will gravitate towards those games on the spreads. Be afraid of that ravens game.

Falcons raiders cards are my next trio. Next week is tricky.

problem with PLAYING the matchups... is if you are scared when teams have good matchups, then you will be scared to take these teams always...

and you are in a league with buy-backs... so even though there is no more of those, you also probably havent lost many owners from the beginning...

how big is your pool anyways?? that is actually very important in making your picks... the larger the pool the bigger chance there is multiple teams making it to week 18... which may make you more willing to take chances when you can...

Umm id have to look no where near yours few hundred.

Im with you on taking chances.

Like me and my buddy both made it to the final group of 5-6 last year. Vastly different strategies.

This year my picks-panthers, packers, bengals, raiders not in that order

His-bucs, bills, ravens, browns

Vastly different teams available moving forward

well, you are in much better position... not saying you will last and he wont... but if i was told right now that one of you would win this, i would bet money it was you...


my league was over 1000 this year, still lower than it was pre-covid, we are now down to 414 left...

the one thing this league does do which i like a lot, is that there is a 500 dollar prize for the most times you are the only one picking a team... what is good about this, is that if you are trying to win that you may lose earlier due to risks taken...

someone actually picked the jets last week...

probably not as big as you'd think... it was probably someone with multiple entries left(you can have as many entries as you want), and they were probably someone who picked both the titans and Jets...

we are also a New york based league... so theres that too...

Someone took the lions in mine…without multiple entries.

0 for 4 redzones trips....ooof

Bengals are definitely a different team when half of their players are injured. I still like the Patriots best even if they're not very good.

 

[averagejoe]

Havent looked... are the Vikes at home or in Motown?

Home I believe...

 

[averagejoe]

Looking ahead, I got my eye on Atlanta at home against the Jets. New York can't win back to back games, can they?

Currently have the Falcons penciled in.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I’m taking the Pats for now

Thats ballsy.

That is good logic wondering if the Jets can win back-to-back games.
Same could be said for the Bears vs LV.

Bears are hard though. We all love the new shiny toy in fields.
