#1 Posted: 12/24/2012 12:58:57 PM am in the last week of survival pool and need to pick 2 winners. teams i have left (that are somewhat decent matchups)to use are:
SAINTS - at home vs carolina
WASHINGTON - at home vs dallas
BILLS - at home vs jets
TENNESSEE (OR JAX)
MINNESOTA - at home vs gbay
the rest aren't pretty...
Tampa - on road at atlanta
cleveland - on road vs pitt
THOUGHTS/IDEAS? ADVICE??? leaning towards saints and washington.

I have pretty much the same teams available to me as well. I'm leaning:
Saints, Bills, Titans, Redskins
I'm probably going to pick the Saints for sure... Not sure about the 2nd team... Titans and hope Jax lays down for the draft??

#6 Posted: 12/25/2012 2:42:08 PM Saints are faves playing with revenge at home. They are playing better. I would look hard at them.
Tampa has looked like crap lately but Atlanta has nothing to play for. Anyone with a nagging injury where they would normally play will sit out Sun. That is why Vegas doesn't have a line yet. A regular week Atl would probably be favored by 10.
All of your other possibilities are either games where both teams have nothing to play for or both teams have everything to play for. |

Skins have a good chance but don't risk it on the chance.
Bills playing last game home..
Saints will win home
My 2cents hope you win |

Secondly I would go with the saints. The bucs have just given up on the season and the saints are playing well.

Rules in beginning of season say that's only possible ten or less entries and must be unanimous. I would have opted to cash out weeks ago! |

Thank you pigskinpicker love the insight on the bills game.

#23 Posted: 12/26/2012 12:07:52 PM another poster likes tennessee. i considered them too.

jacksonville could mail it in......... maybe best strategy is to go for 2 highest spread totals so you get more $ on the ML on the hedge? i don't trust any teams who aren't playing for anything or seem unmotivated. that's why i'm scared to back the saints now...... |

1. Why Titans?.....Jacksonville try to get first draft away from KC.
2. Why Bills?......All people in universe are give up on JETS!
Good Luck!

Where'd you play in a $440k pool? Sportsbook.ag is the largest I've seen online and that is $100k.
