Final week in the NFL regular season, final week in my Survivor League. As a reminder here were the rules:
Picks must be in midnight before first game of the week.
You must pick the moneyline winner, no spreads involved.
You cannot pick a team more than once.
A no-pick, late pick, or repeat pick is an automatic strike.
Winner take all.
So far here are my picks:
Week 1: Eagles over Rams, W 38-3
Week 2: Giants over Rams, W 41-13
Week 3: Bills over Raiders, W 24-23
Week 4: Panthers over Falcons, W 24-9
Week 5: Titans over Ravens, W 13-10
Week 6: Redskins over Rams, L 17-19
Week 7: Texans over Lions, W 28-21
Week 8: Jets over Chiefs, W 28-24
Week 9: Bears over Lions, W 27-23
Week 10: Cardinals over 49ers, W 29-24
Week 11: Dolphins over Raiders, W 17-15
Week 12: Steelers over Bengals, W 27-10
Week 13: Cowboys over Seahawks, W 34-9
Week 14: Patriots over Seahawks, W 24-21
Week 15: Colts over Lions, W 31-21
Week 16: Saints over Lions, W 42-7
This week I was going to take the Packers over the ever terrible Lions, but Green Bay has been playing far less than stellar, and the Lions will be fighting extra hard not to go out 0-16, which will be remembered far longer and carry more shame than a 1-15 season. Because of this, I chose to go with the Buccaneers over the Raiders. The Bucs are playing for playoffs still, Oakland has nothing to gain and nothing to lose regardless of the outcome of this game, and lets face it, the Bucs are a thousand times better than the Raiders. So my recommendation this week would be the Bucs if you can still use them.
Also as a side note, I control my own destiny in this league, if I win this week the worst I can do is split the money with the other two one-loss teams.
I didn’t get a chance to read this until after the fact but I really liked the Raiders in this game (well, especially getting double digit points which I know the survivor does not take into account).
The Bucs D shut down early this month when Kiffin said he was leaving for Tennessee.
I really thought that 11 point spread was blown way out of proportion. That was my big pick of the week.
Hi, very insightful post. Do you have any good racing tips? I am looking to get into this market. Trying my hand at sports betting now I used to play poker. Happy New Year!
