Can't knock the Lions too hard. Worst offensive performance of the year and they still outgained Eagles 5.3ypp to 3.9. Good offense is most predictable going forward.

Only real big knock is I don't trust Goff in cold weather on the road which is a problem for playoffs, unless they play the Rams I guess. Pretty much same logic for me applies to Dimes and Darnold. Maye I don't know what to think, stats and schedule say NE is fraudulent but they've only had one test so far (pass, @BUF) and only have two left (vBUF, @BAL). What a ridiculously soft schedule they have had.

I like a nice simple Dan Gamble.

Down to heads up in my survivor pool for all the monies.

Most of the good teams are already picked.

Do we like Chicago at home vs Pittsburgh,

Or Jacksonville on the road in Arizona?

Leaning Chicago with Rodgers maybe out, I HATE backing road teams.

But I definitely don’t feel great about either option.


Not that this helps much but Rodgers doesn't need surgery, still questionable to play this week though

What Peyton said! The Packers keep getting on top 10 lists and they have zero chance at being a playoff team.


DVOA suggests Packers are 77.8% to make playoffs, vs. Bears 44.4%. Obviously those numbers are heavily correlated given GB and CHI have both their H2H games left.

Already burned through all of BUF, GB, NE, DET, BAL, SEA, PHI, LAR and SF?

If yes, I'd lean CHI over JAX. I'd feel sick trusting the Jags on the road but that's because I can never get a good beat on them.

But I'd probably take KC over both those options, if available. Or Raiders, actually, as disturbing as that seems.

SF is available, but I don’t know if I’d trust their defense against your PLAYOFF-bound “sorry-heels”es, after Bryce Young threw for 450

Raiders vs Browns is available, too.

All the others have been picked.


I'd roll with SF then. Panthers won't keep up with their offense imo.


SF’s defense got 10 pressures, zero sacks on 57 Jacoby Brissett dropbacks last weekend

:/

I concur.

CMC is the truth.


Maybe you should play the Reverse Uno Card and back Shitdur.

He could come up Prime Roses on Sunday!

this is the crux of it. arizona sucks and jags just bumpered up herbie, but not picking them on the road for all the survivor pool

Feel like you gotta knock the boncos down 15 spots for surviving the worst game ever played against these imbeciles

You keep bad talking the Broncos every week and they just keep winning. Even Nick Wright is on the Bronco train.

Can't you chop it?

Can't you chop it?

That's what I was thinking


Top top
Chop chop


We could chop, but we’re both in the money, and I want the glory of first.

It’s $600 first, $200 2nd so I already have something locked up


chopping shouldn't be a thing in an NFL survivor pool


Bears are not good. Do not pick them. They are going to lose when the Steelers run all over them. Rudolph might even be better than Rodgers at this point.


I can't wait for the Panthers to ruin your parade if you go with SF πŸ˜€

Money will be spent. But glory. Glory lasts forever.

Middle it. Take SF in the pool bet 600(or less) on Panthers +7 and sweat the double up
