Survivor Pool Help - UPDATE: Made it to week 7!

JHS5120

So I'm in 2 Survivor Pools and have 5 out of my original 7 slots remaining.

For those unfamiliar with how a survivor pool works; you need to pick one team to win straight up each week (spreads do not play a role in this), BUT! you can only pick a team once in a season. Example, if I pick Denver week 1 I cannot pick them again (until the playoffs).

Detroit is an underdog this week, so I'd stay away from them. How about GB?

Arizona's at home this week, and if Palmer plays, I like them.

If you don't use them this week, they're at Oakland next week, so I think they're good there too.

I think you should've taken the Colts for all the teams you have left.

Hmm. The spreads on Tuesday had Detroit a 3.5 favorite. I guess with Bridgewater playing and Calvin out it swings it in Minnesota's favor.

Green Bay's a good pick, but I was thinking of saving them.

I wish I did! I'm a Redskins fan so I have a strict rule of never picking for them or against them. I just can't.

I think I'll do two Baltimore and one Green Bay and then Arizona next week

A few big upsets!

173 people have been knocked out of the big pool and another 9 have been knocked out of the smaller pool (I updated the numbers above).

Okay, so I decided to double up on Baltimore last week and it worked out well. I'm now considering the following games, any suggestions?

Cardinals at Oakland (ARZ 3.5 favorite)
Browns at Jacksonville (CLE 4 favorite)

This is a tough week - there are really no clear favorites.. I still have Seattle and Green Bay available, but neither of those teams looked very good yesterday.

Any help would be appreciated.

With the way Cleveland, Seattle, and San Diego played yesterday, I imagine the pool was thinned out greatly!!

Here's hoping you put your stock in the Cardinals!!
