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 looking for advice on which team I should take in week 3 of my survivor pool. I think both teams are absolute locks straight up. I’m just trying to determine which team is a better strategic play. I’m trying to decide between taking the San Diego Chargers over the Kansas City Chiefs or the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Indianapolis Colts. Which team should I pick and why?
Answer:
Like you said, both teams should be locks this week against their struggling opponents. The Steelers is definitely the safe play against a team without a QB. The Steelers defense probably won’t even let the Colts score. Maybe 10 points max. I would look to save the Steelers until they play the Jaguars or Titans in week 5 and week 6. With the recent injury to Jamaal Charles, they lose their biggest weapon on offense, so the Chargers shouldn’t have a hard time defeating them at home. 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.

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.
