Survivor Pick Week 2 - No other choice but Raiders

Question

The Jets were always terrible in Oakland, and this will be no exception. 38-3 is a real possibility. I&#x27;m taking Raiders in Survivor and -14.5 ATS.

GL...I wouldn&#x27;t waste the Raiders survivor against the Jets you might need them later.Bengals against a really injured banged up playing on a short week Texans looks better to me if its straight up.

Andy Dalton in prime time is a non-starter for me :)

Agreed that&#x27;s why I took the Rams last week without Luck playing for the Colts in my Survivor Pool and I&#x27;m considering picking the Bengals this week because of QB issues with the Texans. That&#x27;s why guys like JetsFans37 will be eliminated in their Survivor Pool before Week 10 because they have taken all the top NFL teams early in the season..

Took the Bills last week, not an elite team. Bengals? GL!

Take any team playing the Jets this year. 4 exceptions are the 3 divisional games and maybe in cleveland.

Saving Oakland doesn&#x27;t really make much sense when you look at their schedule the rest of the way. They&#x27;re maybe usable at Buffalo, at Miami, and hosting NYG, but that&#x27;s about it. So even though they&#x27;re a good team, they don&#x27;t have as much future value as, say, Seattle.

First of rule of playing survivor pools...DON&#x27;T SAVE TEAMS!!!ya never know what happens during later in the season

CASTORTROY · Answer

Good advice but I have found over the last 15 years of playing Survivor pools (winning 3 and making it to week 14, 7 other times) that the following rules MUST be followed without exception until YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS LEFT- That you must break one of them!1. ALWAYS PICK A HOME TEAM2. NEVER MAKE A PICK ON A DIVISIONAL GAME3. NEVER LOOK AHEAD!! THE ONLY WEEK THAT MATTERS IS THE WEEK YOU ARE ON.4. NEVER PICK AGAINST BRETT FAVRE WHEN HIS FATHER DIES5. DONT GET "TRICKY" YOU SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE MASSES ARE PICKING. STARTEGIC PICKING DOES NOT MATTER UNTIL YOU ARE DOWN TO 5 OR LESS.6. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PICKS. YOUR RATIONALE FOR ONE PICK SHOULD BE SOUND FOR ALL OTHER PICKS IN THE FIRST 6 WEEKS. AFTER THAT START "SPREADING" PICKS TO GIVE YOU OPTIONS IN LATER WEEKS.Those are my rules- not perfect but it gets me close to the money every year!Good luck all!

I&#x27;ve made it to end of 5 out of 7 years playing survivor pools and rule #1 is you must save teams if you want a chance to win.  Just free advice.  Good luck everyone!

TrojanGuy · Answer

Especially since I&#x27;m in some pools where we have to pick 2 teams a week for the last few weeks.  That&#x27;s where it really counts.

JetsFan37 · Answer

Great advice! To the guy who took the Bengals, I hope you can buy back in!

thehuntman · Answer

CC usually agree with you but Oakland is a good play as mentioned above. Their schedule gets a lot tougher after this week and don&#x27;t really see another spot where I would trust them. I hope you didn&#x27;t take the shitttty Bungels last night?
