Another League i am in after week 10 if we have more then 200 in teh pool we going Double picks.


Here are my picks for that one


week 8 I can take Chicago. but still Like Green bay.






  Week 7 - NY Jets - Win


 
Week 6 - Dallas - Win


 
Week 5 - Carolina - Win


 
Week 4 - Philadelphia - Win


 
Week 3 - Miami - Win


 
Week 2 - Indianapolis - Win


 
Week 1 - New England - Win


Week 8 was my Jets but I took them in the 7th week. I got Chicago in 11 week for my double picks. That why I am looking at Green Bay. I been looking at your picks each week and so far you are the ace. but last week I made some changes that I shouldn't of did cost me a 10-3 week went 5-8


I map out my weeks for the Double picks already and have Chi in the 11th weeks.

Swifty,

Thanks for visiting my site, and welcome to the message board.

I have three rules for survivor pools:


1. Never take a team on the road.

2. Don't pick bad teams.

3. Never take a team that is coming off an emotional win, or has a tough game coming up.


Taking Green Bay would violate rule No. 2. The Packers seem better than the Cardinals after last week, but who has Green Bay beaten? Miami? Detroit? Those teams have a combined record of 2-10.

Remember, Arizona hung with St. Louis, Chicago and Kansas City. They're not that bad. The public money is on the Packers this week, so I think the Cardinals can cover or even pull the outright victory.

In your first pool, I would take the Chargers. I'm confident in saying that they will not lose to the Rams after going down to the Chiefs last week. San Diego has Cleveland next week, so you know it'll be focused after a loss to an inferior opponent. Plus, the Chargers have been really good at home, while the Rams historically have been pitiful on the road.

In your second pool, I would take Chicago.

I'm in two survivor pools. One has three people left, another has 1,330 people left (it started with 14,500).

I hope this helped. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I will take San Diego. Your right on Arizona they did really great against Chicago.

I will take Chicago. I know it was preseason. they might look back at this game.

Wait, you're taking the Cowboys in Week 10? I don't think you should take a road team.

I think its a pretty safe pick to go with us. We're not losing to Washington after the game we had last week. I think we close out the season on 10 straight victories.

Wow, that'd be awesome. Good luck with that.

I can't believe some people picked the Texans last week.

Week 9 Pick


I like these picks this week:


Atlanta over Detroit 100% away game


Balt over Cinc 50% Home game


Green Bay over Buff 75% Away game


Seattle over Oak 100%  Home on Monday night game


San Diego over Cle 90% Home game


I like the 100% this week they should win out right. 90% to 50% half thining aobut those.

Rule No. 1: Never take a road team.

Steelers over Raiders seemed like a sure bet.

Jags over Texans seemed like a sure bet.

Don't do it.

Out of the teams you listed, I like the Seahawks and Chargers the best.

Not sure about this match up. Tenn did beat Houston and Jax lost to Houston. Question is does Jax need this week at home they are 3-0 at home.  Tenn is comming off a 2-0 winning record tehy score an avg of 26 points in the last two games.  Jax is avg 6.5 a games after two games. I really don't like this one but Jacksonville wil though.

TENNESSEE TITANS AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Tennessee Titans
OUT DE Antwan Odom (Knee)
QUESTIONABLE LB David Thornton (Shoulder); WR Bobby Wade (Shoulder); WR David Givens (Hand); G Benji Olson (Ankle); DE DeQuincy Scott (Foot); DT Randy Starks (Chest); WR Roydell Williams (Finger); TE Ben Hartsock (Hamstring)

Jacksonville Jaguars
OUT CB Terry Cousin (Groin); DT Marcus Stroud (Ankle); RB Derrick Wimbush (Ankle)
DOUBTFUL T Stockar McDougle (Ankle)
QUESTIONABLE DE Brent Hawkins (Groin)
PROBABLE S Donovin Darius (Knee); RB Maurice Jones-Drew (Thigh); QB Byron Leftwich (Ankle); RB Fred Taylor (Thigh); DE Marcellus Wiley (Groin); CB Rashean Mathis (Hamstring); WR Ernest Wilford (Hamstring); DT John Henderson (Hamstring)


Those guys will play right ( bold ) players


Do you think QB byron Leftwich will be 100% playing.

Well, I said "Jaguars over Texans" SEEMED like a sure bet, referring to Week 7 when they lost to Houston.

Jacksonville and Seattle are the only two teams I can take this week. They're the only two teams that fit into those 3 rules:

1) Never take a team on the road.
2) Don't pick a bad team.
3) Don't take a team that may be in a look-ahead situation.

San Diego and the Giants both have tough games next week. I don't think they'll lose, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

I wouldn't be too condident in that Jaguars game as a Survivor pick guys. I contimplated that as my upset considering that the Titans are on a roll and Jacksonville is horribly inconsistent.

Well, Garrard is playing so that helps a bit.

Realistically, unless you haven't used the Bears, you're looking at 4 survivior games:

1. San Diego
2. Giants
3. Jacksonville
4. Seattle

I'd use Seattle later when Hasselbeck and Alexander come back.

The Giants and Chargers seem like great picks, but I think they're more primed for an upset than the Jags. They both have tough games next week. Jacksonville has Houston, so it can concentrate on beating up on its second-most hated rival. That's why I picked the Jaguars.

Going to stay with Jacksonville this week. I do like the QB and he much better in a way. True that the Tenn is comming of 2 wins and big time scoring 26 points in the last two games. I taking them in both of my Survivors pool.


Best of luck to me. and Thanks walter for the help.

Hope you win, man. I'm going with the Jaguars as well, so we either both win or both lose.
