Not sure if they'll cover but they aren't losing SU in their home opener to the Bills.

Remember last year I think Week 2 Phily wnet out to Oakland as a 14.5 favorite and everyone had them in their suicide pick and they lost. There are many more examples........i like to pick a not as heavy favorite to avoid the above from happening. This week I like Atlanta for my suicide pick

Pick your spots and be skimpy. Look vor value every week and use teams such as the Packers this week as a last resort. You don't want to be stuck having to pick the Rams in week 17. That being said, I'll be going with the Raiders this week even though I think Atlanta rolls.

It does you zero good to save Green Bay , Saints, whoever for Weeks 17 and 17 if you are knocked out of the pool now does it ?

I have won this pool twice in 5 years I dont look too far aheadm but it pays to look ahead because you also have to play the match ups a little and know the teams you have left who is coming up on their schedule. I am playing GB at home week 4 when Lions come to GB
