What's new

NFL Survival Pool

Damn, the Chiefs knocked out a 1/4th of the group today.

Wow, there's potential for 3/4ths of the group to get knocked out in week 1.

Just pointing out do you know the starting record for the Chargers the past few seasons? That was the only reason I didn't consider taking them, yet.
Yes, unfortunately I do. I figured they can't start off slow EVERY year. I was almost tempted into taking KC at home since a few others did. So I would have been $#@% had I done that.

And look on the bright side, Okur13. You've now set a new personal record: out in week #1.


Edit: WHEW, San Diego came back and I'm still alive!!!

I'm shocked so many people picked the Chiefs. They looked absolutely pathetic in the pre-season and Weis' departure (and Waters too perhaps as well as a tougher schedule) is gong to crush them this year.

The total in my pool is 34K. 34K!!!!! So stoked. I lost none so far...had one on the Cards and two on GB. Two on the Jets and three on Denver tomorrow...511 out of 1,700 people+ are out already.
 
Picked Houston. How could you miss that one everybody else?
Yep I wanted to but didn't trust Houston especially with out their starting RB but I should've as now that I've read through this thread me and many others picked the Chiefs.... son of a ...

Not that I trusted the Chiefs but figured heck they won the AFC West last year, they're at home and KC used to be a tough place to play and the Bills suck and are on the road.
 
I just didn't trust them and was unsure which Kerry Collins and Colts team we'd get.
It was a toss-up as to the game I chose (Houston over Indy or San Diego over Minnesota). It came down to what Salmon said about a veteran QB and team perhaps responding to having Peyton out, or San Diego starting slow yet again. I almost got burned, but will take the gift and move on to next week.
 
Week 2 - Steelers at home vs. Seattle...... may save the Steelers for later

This is about as big a lock as one gets. Lock it up. If Denver holds on tonight and I still have my eight entries left, I'll be going with Pitt in two, possibly even as many as four entries.
 
Week 2, a sentence rarely written or said when discussing Survival Pools, or anything else for that matter: I'm picking the Lions.

Looks like Denver isn't holding on to anything.

This is not meant as a hindsight comment, but I don't understand why you were so sure of Denver. It's not as if they were good last year and the Raiders actually came on at the end. Denver still might come back and win, but I saw that game and knew that was one I was staying away from.
 
Some games this week being decided by special teams. Ginn sealed the game for SF on Sunday. And tonight, Janikowski with a 63-yd FG for Oakland and Lechler averaging 58 yards for his 6 punts. Absolutely huge for Oakland as they have no passing game at all.
