OK, here's who I've used so far: Miami, San Diego, Denver, Philly, Indy, Tampa, St. Louis, Buffalo and Atlanta. We still have 5 alive in our pool. I realize others still alive won't have all the same teams used but probably have used a majority of them. Here is my strategy as of Monday morning:
Nov 10-11--2 games look like possible plays; Green Bay at home against Detroit, and Tennessee at home against Houston. If you have GB still available they look obvious BUT there's a couple variables here that may put me on Tenn. First, Tennessee isn't an "obvious" use team and their only likely use will be this next weekend. The Packers still have home games against the Bears and Minny in early December. Secondly, GB plays on Monday night so a short week and we know Favre is hobbled. Must see how he looks tonight first. New England at Chicago? I'm passing there; Bears D looked improved yesterday and they maybe would've won outright if not for horrendous officiating (120 yds of penalties; 6 pass interference calls). Also I don't like taking road teams.
Nov 17-18 This is the killer week; no real standouts. Most alive figure to advance on the Nov 10 week but this week will end numerous pools, IMO. Pitt and GB are both on the road (divisional road games). The against-Houston play may not be good since they already beat the quickly falling Jags in Jville. KC hosts Buffalo and Oakland hosts NE; San Fran goes to SD.
Nov. 24-25 If you haven't used Pittsburgh yet, you may want to save them for this week as they get the (resurgent??) Bengals at home. New England gets Minny at home and we know how bad Minny is outdoors and on grass (the surface that is; Moss may be on grass every game). Oakland goes to Arizona but the Cards spanked them last year in Oakland. The Houston go-against play would be the Giants.
Thats it for now. Haven't looked at December yet. Feel free to post alternative opinions or your selections.
