NFL Survivor Pool Picks

Question: I need some help making my week 5 survivor pool pick.

So far this season I’ve used picks on the Giants, Packers, Patriots, and Jets.

I’m thinking of taking the New Orleans Saints (away) over the Arizona Cardinals or the San Diego Chargers (away) over the Oakland Raiders.

I want to get your thoughts on the picks.

Answer:

You’ve already used your picks on some really good teams so it will be hard to make your picks throughout the rest of the year, but the Saints over the Cardinals is an easy pick to make in week 5.

What I do is make my picks for the whole season at the beginning so I can strategically pick which teams I want to take each week and save the stronger teams for later in the season.

Question: I’m in a survivor pool and I’ve made it to week 14. I need some help picking a game this week.

Here is a list of teams that I have already taken and cannot use anymore:

Colts
Cowboys
Steelers
Eagles
Saints
Seahawks
Ravens
Bears
Patriots
Bengals
Chargers
Vikings
Falcons

Answer:

You’ve already picked most of the best teams already, so let’s see which games you can pick with teams that aren’t the elite teams in the league. Two matchups that I like are the Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins @ Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs at 3-10 have been pretty sorry this year. While the Bills aren’t much better at 5-8, I think you stand a good chance by taking the Bills this week even though they are playing on the road. The running tandem of Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson should do well against the Chiefs poor run defense.

Question: I need a week 8 lock for my survivor pool.

My survivor pool is down to six people already and I’m looking for a lock.

I have taken the following teams
BAL
WAS
NYG
IND
PHI
PIT
NE

I need a solid week 8 pick and I was thinking of the following:

Dallas Cowboys over Seattle Seahawks
Chicago Bears over Cleveland Browns
Arizona Cardinals over Carolina Panthers
San Diego Chargers over Oakland Raiders

Let me know which pick would be best and advise of any pitfalls.

Best answer:

I like the Bears pick over the Browns the best. You also can’t go wrong with the Cowboys over the Seahawks. I’m would stay away from the Cardinals, as they’re just 4-3 and could get hurt by DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. The AFC West is always a toss up — avoid division games. Take the Bears over the Browns or the Cowboys over the Seahawks this week. You won’t regret it.

Question: Which game should I pick in week 4 of my survivor pool?

Should I take the San Francisco 49ers over the St. Louis Rams or the Indianapolis Colts over the Seattle Seahawks? Both the Colts and the 49ers are playing at home. I’m not concerned with about saving either team for a later week, I’m just looking for the best matchup this week. What do you think?

Best answer:

I would take the 49ers over the Rams. The Rams are pathetic. I know you aren’t concerned about saving the Colts, but I think the 49ers have an equal or better chance at beating their opponent than the 49ers so you might as well save the Colts pick for when the Colts play a team like the Jaguars.

Question: Who should I take in my survivor pool in week 14?

I need your help selecting a game from the list below so I can advance to the next round:

Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants – Giants
Houston Texans @ Green Bay Packers – Green Bay
Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts – Indianapolis
Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos – Broncos
New England Patriots @ Seattle Seahawks – Patriots

Answer:

I don’t like the division games of Eagles @ Giants and Chiefs @ Broncos so take them off your list. Cincinnati only has 1 win this season, so they should get rocked by the Colts. I really like that pick. You also can’t go wrong with the Patriots over the Seahawks. You have some nice teams to pick from late in your survivor pool season. You must have done a solid job so far. Good luck.

Question: Who is your lock in week 10 for survivor pools?

I’m in a survivor pool and need help picking a lock for this week.  Here are the teams that I picked already and cannot pick again: Carolina, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Houston, and Chicago

Carolina
Minnesota
TB
Houston
Chicago

Note: We started the survivor pool in week 5, which is why I don’t have 10 teams on my list.

What I would like to hear from you is who is your lock this week other than the aforementioned teams? If you can also include your reasoning with the pick, it would be much appreciated.

Answer:

I would take the San Diego Chargers. I cannot see the Chargers losing after they come off their bye week, playing at home against the Chiefs. Plus, the season is playing out like  no team in the AFC West wants to win that division, so I think it is perfect timing for San Diego to step up and take control of the division.

Question:

I’m in a survivor pool and it’s down to 6 teams with $400 on the line.

The top games that I’m thinking about are:
1.) PIT – PIT -9.5 @ CIN
2.) TB – SEA @ TB – 10.5
3.) HOU – DET @ HOU – 9.5

Which game is the least likely to end up in an upset?

I don’t like the Pittsburgh Steelers they’re on the road, but they’re coming off of a bye week.

I don’t like Tampa Bay Buccaneers because if they go down early, they could have a hard time coming back. However, Seattle doesn’t have a quarterback.

I like the Texans because Detroit doesn’t have a QB, but Detroit almost pulled off the upset last week.

My weekly picks:

Week 1 – Patriots
Week 2 – Cardinals
Week 3 – Giants
Week 4 – Bills
Week 5 – Cowboys
Week 6 – Colts
Week 7 – Help Me decide

Which game would you pick?

Answer:

Take the New York Jets -3 over Oakland.  The Oakland Raiders are 3-10 at home when they’re facing a team outside the AFC West. This week Oakland is hosting the Jets and New York has covered four of their last five road games. The Jets are also 10-5 on the road when they are favored and facing a non-division opponent. New York is coming off of a 12-point win over the Browns while the Raiders just got crushed by 31 points against the Saints. That loss against the Saints saw Oakland getting outgained by over 200 yards and things could stay ugly for the Raiders.
