kwelch 995 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 This year's week 1 is going to be a tough one. I am leaning toward Baltimore at home against Cleveland or Denver at home vs. Tennesse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BLINDSIDERS 242 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Going Indy this week. May go with whoever the Jags are playing. That seems to be the consensus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JE7HorseGod 2,695 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm leaning Bills. Jets look like they suck pretty hard. Don't want to burn KC or Bal this early, and something doesn't smell right with the IND-JAX game to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dreams And Dwightmares 3,229 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I got 5 picks, really want to consolidate, but haven't done so yet. Used 1 on Chiefs last night so that's locked in. 1 on Ravens: Browns @ Ravens 1 on Bills: Jets @ Bills I do it with some idiot friends too and they're pretty gung ho on the following games which I am not myself: 1 on Titans: Titans @ Broncos 1 on Pats: Fins @ Pats Yall got any feedback?

dannyz6969 151 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 i have a rating system tool and its saying colts and pats are the best picks this week. i am not sure how i feel about that... colts defense is pretty damn good isnt it and the jags are tanking? jags D is awful, colts should run away with it didn't pats struggle against MIA last year and lost? dont feel confident in the pats... is cam newton back to his old self?

It doesnt seem like they have a great shoe-in matchup until week 17 at home vs. Miami, but even then they could be resting players. I know there's an argument towards being a little more against the grain early, but it's week 1, I like to start with a solid pick at least one week 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gohawks 10,174 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I’m actually not sold on the Colts this week. New QB with an off-season that had very little prep time and no preseason? Can be a rough week one. I would honestly go Buffalo. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not if Rotoworld darling aka everyone's favorite sleeper aka pick up of the year aka future hall of famer James Robinson has anything to say about it!!! Well ... he could go off for 220 scrimmage yards and 3 TDs and they'd still probably lose. Yeah so go with Indy over the tanking Jags. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryansm11 2,141 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I went ahead and just used the chiefs to kick the year off. Week 1 is always the hardest. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DiddleThatKitty 71 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Bills for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LookeeHereKeith 8 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 My problem is it's easy to pick Buff or Balt or Pitt on week 1, but then you cannot use them the rest of the season, just as it is easy to pick whoever is playing Jax, Wash, Cinci, NYJ, NYG. Since DEN lost Von Miller for the year, I am leaning towards TENN or another marginal team/game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but it's a vet QB they added, not a newbie perse`, and Jax has let a lot of their defense walk away, haven't they? No team has had a lot of preseason practice, so in a lot of games I'm picking teams that have managed to stay intact, for the most part. But with that said, how well will Brady do? and Brees has a few new receivers, NE is a guessing game but will be fine, the Jets have revolving doors at WR, and the G-Men don't...???

atrium 1,187 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Anyone considering going New England week 1? They don't have any value at all rest of season until Week 17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Frank Drebin 211 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) I was all set going with the Eagles until the Sanders news. Scott is a very good player in his own right and Clement can eat some carries, but I was already wary on a road game vs a division opponent with how few weapons Carson has to throw to downfield. If Washington takes a big early lead somehow I'd be hella worried they can't make a comeback from 2 scores back even if they had the whole 4th quarter and shutout Washington that period as well. This is one of the toughest week 1's I remember in awhile for survivor pools. I don't even know if I'm betting a single game tomorrow either. Edited September 13, 2020 by Lt.

I am a huge, never get cute guy and it generally works well for me. I like your style Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colonel Forbin 110 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I have 5 picks. I went: KC, PIT, BUF, BAL, IND. Week 1 always scares me, so I try to spread my picks out and not worry about future value in the first week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
