Ok, I have Pit over Cleveland in my Survivor pool right now…but am considering NE over Tenn so that I can use Pitt over the Browns in week 14…but of course I need to get to week 14 for this to matter…

So what does everyone think of the Patriot/Titans matchup? Even though they are 0—5 the Titans dont seem like an 0-5 tea, but Brady/Moss/Welker should shred the worse pass D in the league, especially with Harper now out as well


Thoughts? Does Tenn have a chance???

I saw a few TV shows and other things that put NE on upset alert. I think the lock of the week is Denver over SD. Also this might be a good week to use Jacksonville over St Louis

Is this a survivor pool against the spread or just straight up?  Like fantasy football you have to go with your gut here and if you feel the Steelers are going to handle business against Cleveland tomorrow use them.


What good is it projecting them as your Week 14 option if you lose this week? On paper the most lopsided game is the Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland one and I would take that over the New England vs. Tennessee game. 


Hope this helps and check out the post by Bruno Boys Hallam in the NFL Lounge as he does an article against the spread every week.

It wasn’t even a contest. You had your Survivor Pick in the bag by the end of the first quarter.  Nick work.


Who have you used so far and who are you looking to use in Week 7?

Solid usage of teams so far and I like using Indianapolis over St. Louis this week. I know crazy things have happened in the NFL and the underdogs have pulled off the upsets (Raiders over Philly in Week 6) but Indy winning this game is the safest pick on the board this week.

Keep us posted as your decisions changes and I wish you the best of luck in your Survivor Pool. Hopefully you are playing for a big prize!
