Question: What team should I pick in week 11 of my survivor pool?
There are three picks that I have on my mind for week 11. I’m trying to decide between the Dallas Cowboys over the Washington Redskins, San Francisco 49ers over the Arizona Cardinals, and Chicago Bears over the San Diego Chargers.
The 49ers seems like the obvious choice here, but Frank Gore might be out. I also like the Cowboys over the Redskins since the Redskins are terrible. Are there any other teams that I should consider?
Answer:
That all depends on what teams you have left. I’m taking the Lions this week and the Patriots next Monday Night against the Chiefs. I like the Cowboys pick, but you have to be careful with road division games. It could possibly be a trap game so I would stick with the 49ers who have the advantage of playing at home.

Question:
I’m starting off my survivor pool. With Peyton Manning out, everyone and their mother are taking the Houston Texans at home over the Indianapolis Colts. I have high expectations for the Texans this year and may want to save that pick for later in the year. The other game I was thinking of taking is the Arizona Cardinals over the Carolina Panthers. Last year the Panthers were the worst team in the league and I don’t expect a whole lot from Cam Newton in his rookie debut. His preseason has been pretty lackluster. Should I go with the Cardinals and Texans this week?
Answer:
The safer pick is definitely the Texans who should roll over the Colts who don’t have a QB now that Manning is out. However, I can understand trying to safe the Texans for later in the year. With that said, there could never be a better opportunity to take the Cardinals this year than this week. It’ll be easy to advance to week 2 and keep all of your strong teams for later weeks. Good luck this week.

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 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.
