NFL Week 1 Survivor Pool Pick: Chiefs, Cardinals, or Browns?

We have two more hours until kickoff. Survivor pools are becoming really popular this year among friends and co-workers. For those unfamiliar, you pick one team per week (typically straight up without considering the spread, but some leagues opt against the spread). Win and you move on, lose and you’re eliminated. You can’t pick the same team twice. Whoever survives at the end of the season gets the cash.

Remember to sign up for our pick ’em league before kickoff. Winner gets a free NFL Shop t-shirt.

Of the week 1 teams this week, you clearly want to opt for home teams. I’ve narrowed my list to Chiefs over Bills, Cardinals over Panthers, and Browns over Bengals. Which team do you like? Leave me a comment or vote in the poll below. Texans over Colts, Chargers over Vikings, and Patriots over Dolphins are good choices, but the Chargers and Patriots should be used later in the season.

I’ll stick with picking against poor teams in the first few weeks. I’m really torn between the Chiefs and Cardinals. I think I’m leaning Cardinals due to Buffalo boosting their defense and Cassel playing with bruised ribs. I also don’t think there’s a better opportunity to pick the Cardinals and save a strong team for later in the season. Clearly the best two plays are Texans and Chargers, but I’ll be saving those teams for later.
