SkinsChargersFan 3,422 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Seattle for at least one of my two entries. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkinsChargersFan 3,422 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Chargers also look okay right now with the Luck news, but they always start slow and have no discernible home field advantage. Could be a Week 1 trap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 874 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Eagles look like a lock, don’t try to be cute the first couple of weeks. Ravens might be good too if Rosen is playing, I’d be more nervous to use them vs Fitzmagic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RMJ_12 1,737 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Eagles and Cowboys are the plays here. Maybe Cleveland if you’re really bold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DerrickHenrysCleats 6,213 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 We just pick a winner or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smeeze 6,275 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 Just now, DerrickHenrysCleats said: We just pick a winner or what? Here's some rules for mine. Pretty fun format, not as time consuming as season-long fantasy leagues and requires next to no football knowledge. Good format to get the casuals/girlfriends/wives involved. Beginning week 1, you will enter a pick of one team you think will win that week. If you successfully pick a winner, then you will remain in the pool and be able to make a pick for week 2 etc. If the team you chose loses, then you are eliminated from the pool. There are no buy backs. Once you lose, you are done. Once you chose a team, you cannot pick that team again for the rest of the season in any other week. If you select a team you have already chosen in a prior week, you will be eliminated. Ties: if you the game you choose remains a tie after an overtime period is played, you are eliminated. The team you chose that week must WIN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teams tend to play up to their divisional opponents, look Jeff Fisher's Rams taking a game off Seattle every year or the Dolphins having the Pats number in Miami for recent examples. Hell, the Saints were a very popular pick in week 1 last season, only to lose to the Bucs in a huge upset. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay85 310 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Eagles Dallas or Seattle are the top picks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedRaider27 535 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Seattle looks like the easy pick at home vs a AJ Green-less Bengals with a almost worthless Andy Dalton in a new system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

atrium 1,196 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Did a tentative road map for my pool which requires 2 picks starting in week 13: Week 1: HOU@NO Week 2: TB@CAR Week 3: MIA@DAL Week 4: CIN@PIT Week 5: BUF@TEN Week 6: CIN@BAL Week 7: MIA@BUF Week 8: OAK@HOU Week 9: TB@SEA Week 10: DET@CHI Week 11: ARI@SF Week 12: TB@ATL Week 13: TEN@IND, TB@JAX Week 14: WAS@GB, DET@MIN Week 15: DEN@KC, PHI@WAS Week 16: BUF@NE, OAK@LAC Week 17: ARI@LAR, CLE@CIN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitekenyan24 147 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Going Cowboys now that Zeke is back in the fold and Cooper sounds healthy for Week 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teams in the NFL changed so much from year to year. To me, going against what should be an improved Texans team is way too much risk for me in week 1. Is there a reason you’re saving Seattle for week 9? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a reason you’re saving Seattle for week 9? Yeah, i get ya. I'm in a huge pool where it's almost guaranteed we go to weeks 13-17 so trying to do a little preparing, but it's probably futile Take a look at week 9. Aside from TB@SEA, the picks are straight up brutal. Nothing I like there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also (although I try to stay away from road divisional games), Cowboys @ Giants could be another option. I think the Bucs are going to be a lot better under Arians this year.

Baldy8 77 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 If you look at Seattle's schedule, week 1 is the only week that looks good to take them. They play Arizone twice but who knows what kind of team they will be this year. Plus I never take division games unless I have to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
