Survivor week 17

Down to the wire fellas. Ony 11 left for over 100k. I really need some input these are my best options Lions Chargers commanders Falcons. Who would you feel best about? Thanks for the help fellas

Chargers 

If you made it to Survivor Week 17 in this crazy season, you should be the one giving the advice

Gun to my head, I would have to go Lions.  Even though on paper the Chargers should win that game, they essentially have nothing to play for.  They can lose out and still be in the playoffs and play an away game. Most likely even if they win out.....same situation.  They obviously want to win for team continuity, and they looked great last night and won me a good chunk of cash in the process, but anything can happen, and the Rams clearly aren't throwing games.  Baker seems like he is auditioning, as he should be, and McVay would probably love nothing more than to beat the Chargers with a B Squad to prove what a good coach he is.  I think the Rams might keep this closer that it looks on paper, assuming Staley doesn't open things up a bit more.  After watching a lot of Charger football this year, I think Staley is holding back a lot of the playbook just to use in the playoffs, and now that they are 100% in the playoffs, I do not see that changing.  I would expect to see a boring conservative gameplan by the Chargers this weekend.  Ball control, short to intermediate pass game, and barely throwing downfield.  

The Bears are really not pressing, have lost 8 straight, and they barely ran Fields the last game, they are trying to keep him healthy.  The Lions need that game.  

At the end of the day, you really gotta feel like its the Lions or Chargers.  You don't wanna tie your survivor life to Carson Wentz or the Falcons rookie Ridder.  Commies don't know what they are doing at QB either, this sort of back and forth nonsense can lose a locker room, and Cleveland can run the ball well.  Cards/Falcons, just gross all around.  Anything can happen there.

Who needs to win for playoff reasons?  The Commies and the Lions.  Commies just scares me with the QB nonsense.  I don't think you do the musical chairs thing with 2/3 weeks left in the year unless there are injuries.  Seems like a bad idea to me.  

Biggest mismatch?  Chargers over Rams, then Lions over Bears, then Commies over Browns

Best spot?  Lions off a loss, make adjustments in run-D hopefully, and win this game against a Bears team that is just trying to get the season over with.  

I would also take a sizable wager on the dog with the points in the game that you end up picking.  IE: If you took the Lions, throw a rack or more on the Bears +6. Start hedging these plays.  Make sure you walk away with something.   IDK how many people are left, but I have been in this situation before, and hedging helped me walk away with something.  

Good luck.

Do u have giants or jags 

@Rented

 Lol I've been so lucky. Took the Bengals this past week, what a roller coaster! I just want some other opinions as I'm out of the country for the holidays and I wasn't able to watch all the games this week. I streamed the Bengals game when the pats started to make a comeback and was about ready to have a stroke. 

@JDD

 Thank you for your input, very much appreciated. My first go to was the Lions but were they as bad as the score shows? I wasnt able to watch any of the game against carolina. I was on their bandwagon these lasts 6 or 7 weeks but last week scares the sh*t out of me

@richwins81

 No I've used both already

@Wings88

 ML ???? If yes than Atl  

I'm using Chargers this week.   Lions would be my 2nd choice. 

@Wings88

 I watched a lot of the game, actually was my only loss last week, lost 2 units on them lol, last week was my smallest Lions bet in a long time, something just didn't feel right about the game, and also Detroit and Goff on grass outdoors is kind of different.  Luckily I got nervous or I may have put 5 units on them.  

To answer your question, they got gashed, and that is the brutal honest truth.  It was really not the RBs either, it was the line.  I could have averaged 4.5 yds/carry that day if I played RB.  Schematically it is concerning that they were not more prepared for this from Carolina.  Lions have slightly undersized LB as well.  I have not checked their DL but I imagine they may be undersized too.  I trust that Aaron Glenn will do something to adjust to this, but again, this weeks game is indoors against a team starting mainly backups with a terrible defense.  The Bears will score on them, but I would really be surprised if this wasn't something like a 38-24 Lions win.  

Don't forget to hedge.  Most important thing for you right now.  Good luck 

Congratulations on making it this far, impressive. 

Would you mind listing all of your options for us? Even the ugly ones.

But as one guy said above, you are the one that made it this far. We should be listening to you.

Lions this week, Washington next week. 

Bears have a bad rushing D. Lions are different at home. They jist got behind and then when they could pull within 7, they missed on a 4th down on like the 10 yard line. 

@JDD

 Great write up! Agree, lions need win more chargers 

I’m trying to pick between Lions, Giants or Washington as all of them need the win. 
Did you decide yet?

Aloha

commanders this week and roll the dice on chargers next week vs broncos

Take it as you will ....I saw some ridiculous trend that teams playing the week after playing SF are 0-12 SU. So play Against Wash.

@undermysac

 So far teams used have been Dolphins Broncos Jags Vikings Chiefs Rams Raiders Eagles Patriots Giants Niners Cowboys Bills Packers Bengals

Thanks everyone for your input. I really appreciate others insight, especially when I wasn't able to watch the games this past week . I'm thinking best option is the Lions this week. Biggest downfall with them is I'm sure most people left haven't used them yet, but I could be wrong. But it's all about making it thru each week no matter what. Thanks fellas! Please let Goff and Campbell pull thru 

Lions then Chargers.

Where do you stand in a tiebreaker set-up? Is it the total point margin of the victories?

Wings  - Detroit should be a strong play… they may not cover but can’t see them losing 

I’m gonna start a new thread (don’t want to muddy up yours) as I could use some mentoring (loving the guidance your receiving), last week I was alive in 3 survivor pools (picked Tenny, Miami, and Pitt)  only alive in 1 this time (a little gun shy - 42 secs from being out of all 3)
