I assume your reasoning for not using SD would be to hold them for Week 14 against Miami? To me, SD just seems like the best play this week.
Survivor Pool Meltdown
- Thread starter thepoolguy
- Start date
Makes sense. I've still got Pitt and Indy left so I'm hoping to see some upsets this week (providing SD isn't involved).
Good call. I went with San Diego. Nice not to have to sweat it out a bit. My pool lost 4 to STL but everyone else made it through easily. Looking ahead to Week 12, I have several options circled but none look great to me.
Teams used:
Washington
Dallas
Seattle
Baltimore
Denver
KC
Atlanta
NE
NYG
Chicago
SD
Looking at Cincy @ home vs. Baltimore, Carolina @ Buffalo, Minnesota @ home vs. Cleveland, Tennessee @ home vs. SF and Oakland @ home vs. Miami. I'm leaning towards Oakland.

I already used Cincy, so they are out for me. I am leaning towards either Tenn or Minn. If minnesota loses tonight, I tihink I will hop on them. I have a strange feeling Oakland loses next week. If Ferotte plays it could be trouble. Since we need to have our pick in by Wed, I will probably stay away. Buffalo has played pretty well at home and I don't like picking a team that is on the road for a second week.
Strong lean towards Tenn, second pick would be Minn. maybe the only spot for them. ATL also looks like a decent option

Glad to see everyone survived fellas
I will look further into Tennessee, Seattle, Minnesota and Oakland
Those are my 4 choices for Week 12
The 2 early games are not for the faint-hearted and at this stage of the game too much is at stake so I'll likely pass
GL this week fellas

San Diego took care of business on Sunday so On to Week 12 fellas! Pool now stands at 61 after 7 folks were left on the wayside courtesy of the Rams and Packers.
I won't touch the 2 early games, too much of a crapshoot there especially with the way the Falcons have been playing lately!
Here are the 4 candidates that I'm looking at for my Week 12 Survivor Pool
Seattle at home against the Giants
Tennessee at home against the 49ers
Oakland at home against the Dolphins (if Rosenfels is playing, don't know if Frerotte would make a big difference here though)
Minnesota at home against the Browns
This is a recap of the games and teams I have taken
Week 1: Bengals
Week 2: Jets
Week 3: Rams
Week 4: Ravens
Week 5: Colts
Week 6: Chiefs
Week 7: Redskins
Week 8: Cowboys
Week 9: Giants
Week 10: Panthers
Week 11: Chargers
It's been a long and grinding road fellas but i'm sure we"ll all be there until the very end!
Good luck and Surviving we shall!

I am going with Tenn. I am hoping that SF scared a lot of people last week and they will go with Oak. Have no reason why, I just think Oakland gets upset this week. Tenn at home 2 weeks in a row, and I think SF blew their wad trying to beat Seattle.
If you have Cincy available, I would use them. Baltimore got the win they wanted

Cincy and Tennessee are my top 2 plays as well. I'm leaning to Tennessee since you never really know if the Ravens D can show up and make it a close game. I just think SF is horrible and McNair and Co. should win by at least a TD.
Week 12 Leans
Minnesota over Cleveland
Tennessee over SF
Oakland over Miami
Cincy over Baltimore ... plan on using Cincy over Cleveland next week
Philadelphia over GB ... probably stay away from this one since both teams suck right now
N.Y. Jets over New Orleans ... very unlikely cause both teams are horrible
Minny, Tennessee, and Oakland ... 3 poor to average teams but all are solid favs this week. I really don't trust any of them so I am still debating this weeks pick.

Oakland scares me and Baltimore giving Chester Taylor more touches has to be an improvement over Jamal.
Im taking TN and crossing my fingers.
Good Luck guys

Man, I just new Oakland was going to lose yesterday. So glad I took Tenn. We lost 26 people to Oakland and 1 to TB. we started with over 700 and are now down to 50. Took an early look and I think NE and Balt seem to be the best choices for me. Here is what I have used so far....
Pitt
Phill
Indy
Cincy
Denver
KC
wash
carolina
nyg
chi
sd
tenn
Want to save NE for the end of the year at home against Miami, but this may be a good spot for them.

I was on Tennessee as well. We lost 8 to Oakland and are down to 21. I'm the only one that hasn't used Indy and they are definitely my play next week.
Looks like NE and SD will be other popular plays.

Glad to see you guys still *survive*
I will most likely be on N.E. this week, having taken the Chargers couple of weeks ago
Also leans for Miami and Chicago but nothing too appealing there

Glad you made it through! I feel pretty good about the next 2 weeks, with my plays being Indy and most likely Cincy. Week 15 looks to be interesting though....

Week 13 Leans
Indianapolis over Tennessee ... YES, I still have them left and this is probably the safest chance to use them the rest of the way since they could clinch home field early and rest players in the final weeks so no use saving them
Baltimore over Houston ... interesting but the Texans are playing everyone tough right now and the Ravens are unpredictable
Miami over Buffalo ... two bad to average teams ... not worth the risk
San Francisco over Arizona ... would take massive balls but probably not worth the risk
If I had not already used them, I would have probably leaned New England as a strong #2 this week.
I am leaning towards using Cincy next week at home against the Browns.
