25% OFF ON SURVIVOR PICKS...
Week 1 in the books and there was no huge upset, but there were enough to take 20-25% of pool entries out. MINN & my Seachickens were the main culprits. Division dogs won 4-games. 10-Road teams won with the BUFF/NYJ game playing as I write this toxic waste. I went to the Seachicken game so couldn't focus on the games in detail but many surprises.
The Good...DET, SF, DAL, GB, DAL,CLEVE, BALT all showed they were dominant. Who knows about the GB win over CHI, but Love looked good. DET maybe with an asterisk, but even without Kelce, that's a good win on the road. BALT only up a point at the half but answered the bell as Lamar knocks rust off.
The Bad...CINN, SEA, PITT, NYG, MINN all expected to look much better on paper. Joey B doesn't play defense but CLEVE did. Close game in MINN, but you gotta win those close ones like they did last year. Jesus Giants, what the hell was that? Danny gets paid and he went on vacation...
The 'rules' didn't hold up well with all the road team winners but the division team thing was real. I still like to be on a home team when possible.
My ALL-IN WASH pick in ALL my pools gave me some reason to unscrew some caps with pills and liquids in them but the defense that I thought would shut ARI down came through. I was ready to write my own obituary and quit this mundane thread and vow to never get in a Survivor contest the rest of my life!!! That would have lasted until Adam's 2nd chance pool! ;-) I would have blamed Compass Rose for saying that going ALL IN is the best way to go with multiple picks! LOL!
Now, it's OVER REACTION TIME where some winning teams won't look as good week 2 and some of teams that looked like something I cooked bouncing back and surprising some people. They all get paid, and the losing teams will want to get the nasty taste out of their mouths.
Wrote this during the MNF game and don't have a good idea of injuries that might affect Week 2 games...
ON THE RADAR...
LVS@BUFF...Gonna be the #1 pick most likely. A good reason to stay off it. I didn't get to see much but highlights but Jimmy G didn't get injured so that's a plus! BUFF loses a day of prep but close to home from the MNF game.
SF@LAR...Not saying take SF in a division game, but LAR will be playing a big boy defense, not the FBS Division 12 D they faced vs the Seachickens. I'm tying SF into a lot of teasers as I think they win this one without raising my BP much. If you don't like much else on the board, I wouldn't blame you to be on SF. They'd be a 14-point fave in SF. 'Purdy' good team it looks like to begin the season.
MINN@PHIL...MINN loses a close one and PHIL gets it done on the road in Billyville. I'd lean PHIL at home but will poke around to see what else is out there.
SEA@DET...Won't blame anyone for being on the kitties off the mini-bye. SEA has probably lost both their O-line tackles for the game and Tyler Lockett might have a concussion. SEA probably figures a few things out and DET scored 2-offensive TD's on KC, so how good is their offense. After watching Seattle's D, Volo could do a few breaking routes and go for 87-yards.
WASH@DEN...I like this one some as WASH beat ARI, big deal. DEN loses by a point with Wilson looking more like his old self and Coach Sean won't do an onsides kick to start the game. I like the attitude, but save that one for another day. I'll dig into this one more.
NYJ@DAL...See if Rodgers is going to play first. DAL is good and on a mission to meet SF in the NFC Championship. Might not matter if Rodgers plays.
NYG@ARI...ARI looked like crap...NYG looked like crap. I feel NYG actually has some talent and can answer the bell in the desert with Dobbs not showing much in the WASH game. I really might be on Compasses GMEN. Will ponder...Yeah, it's a road game, but it won't be raining!
NO@CAR...I need to watch the NO game but they are a team to consider vs a CAR team that didn't look like much vs the Dirty Birds.
CHI@TB...I need to watch both games to see how the teams looked, but TB with Mayfield and what seems to be a defense that can slow down a good MINN team has my attention.
Which teams will bounce back is the question you need to answer...I need to answer the question of how much I can sell the rest of my season tickets for to Seachicken games!
Not sure I can bring myself to go all-in on a team this week, but might double-up on two of my three picks I have left in a few pools.
EARLY LEANS...
NYG...Seriously. I'll consult with Compass unless he's on his 4th Scotch!
TB...Gotta watch the condensed version of the games that TB/CHI played and get a feel for how they looked.
DAL...Maybe...Only would think about it if Rodgers is not going to play and they announce it early in the week.
NO...It's a roadie...Need to watch the NO game. I liked them before the season started but need to get a feel for their game.
DEN...I know, how many teams am I not leaning on! I need to watch the DEN game but WASH isn't a great team.
PUT IN PICKS IN YOUR POOLS AS PLACEHOLDERS!
If you hear significant injury news or news about players that aren't stars but might have a big impact on a team, throw it out on the thread.
Post teams you like and why and even teams you don't like and why! We need to help each other get to Week 3!!!!
GOOD LUCK MATES!!
