Thread: Survival League 2014

I suck in pick'em, but I'm still alive here.

The only one who didn't go forward was Con_Valian.

This week should prove to be very interesting.

5-0 and time to risk it all on the jinx card. Houston NEVER beats Indy. NEVER. Going with the Colts even on the road in a short week. And if jinxing the Colts works, I'll be happy to lose.

Eliminated because the f*cking Bengals kicker missed a chip shot field goal.

Good Luck to all who remain alive!

King will be contacting you soon to consul you.

I'm finished.

6-0 and it looks like the field is down to 5. (myself, Gnomey, FanInAZ, ForgettingBrandonMarshall and OldManBronco)

This week is a tough one. I don't want to play my Super Bowl cards yet (Seattle and Denver) and I've already used the Patriots. Buffalo at home against the Vikes is my second choice but I just don't trust Neckbeard enough not to screw it up.

I don't like going with the road team or I might be enthusiastic about Cleveland (at Jackassville), Arizona (at Oakland) or Seattle (at St. Louis).

The sucker bet is Dallas at home vs. the Giants. Have we forgotten how often Eli Manning has beaten the Cowboys at JerryWorld? Pass on that.

Which leaves me to Baltimore at home against a collapsing Atlanta Falcons. Honestly, I'm not all that comfortable with this one but you have a dome team in the elements at Empty Bank Stadium where the Ratbirds are usually able to find a way to win. In real life, they are seven point favorites.

Grrrr... dammit Seahawks. I'm out.

Those who have picked Seattle in this league are 1-2. http://football.fantasysports.yahoo....532/grouppicks

0-3 in the double elimination league. http://football.fantasysports.yahoo....841/grouppicks

Now 7-0 with Baltimore's easy win.

I'll have next week's pick in tomorrow if I remember.

Down to three players left.

7-0 and there's not much discussion this week. I love the storyline of Colt McCoy coming back to the state of Texas on Monday Night Football to take on the Cowboys but who are we kidding? These are the banged-up and politically incorrect Redskins going against one of the NFL's hottest teams in a rivalry game.

The Skins may put up a fight and I'll be rooting for Colt (hook 'em) but my vote has to go with Dallas this week. Romo may still lay an egg when the winds start to blow cold but he's a hot QB for now.

Well folks, with Denver and Washington both losing their games this week, this ends this season of Survival Football with Fan in AZ and OldManBronco both tying for first place. In third place is OrangeHoof who was eliminated in week 8.

Thank you everyone for playing!

I went by 2 rules that I didn't break, unless the match up was too good to pass up or I had no other choice.

1) Don't pick road teams, unless it was a big time mismatch.
2) Pass on picking game match division rivals, on matter how big of a mismatch, period!

If I would have stuck to my guns on both of these, I would've taken the Browns at home. Wait a minute...

The last 2 or 3 weeks were really tough because I'd used almost all of the good teams in previous weeks. The few that I hadn't already used had some tough games, and/or went against my 1 or both of my 2 general rules.

Oh well, tied for in this tournament, & got in the smaller 1 that was over after just 3 weeks. I'm also 1 of the 3 finalist in the double elimination tournament.
