Survivor Pools

[Hurl Bruce]

Anyone do survivor pools? Pick one team to win each week without using any team more than once?

Thought those of us that do such things could discuss best bets for each week.

Week 1 is a tough week to get things going.

My first reaction is to take NE against PIT while Bell is still out. I don't know if I feel good betting against a playoff caliber team.

GB seems a good bet @ CHI.
MIA @ WASH
DAL vs NYG as well.

I need to look ahead to see if there are any really bad weeks ahead that I'll need the Packers.

Carolina is probably a safe bet to beat Jacksonville as well. The Panthers probably won't be amazing this year, but Jacksonville always sucks. Plus, there will probably be as many Panthers fans at that game as Jags fans.

NE looks like a good pick this week, especially since Brady is probably going to come out fired up.

Pretty sure the name for a survivor poolis a tontine and I'm pretty sure they are illegal. Whatever floats your boat, though.

I went with Dallas. Holy shit was I lucky.

Rolling with New Orleans this week against TB.

Thought about Baltimore at OAK and INDY at home vs Jets.

Unbelievable...week 2 and my survivor pool is already done and ready for a restart. Only one person didn't take BAL, MIA, NO, or STL.
