Give me your best choice for week 1 survivor¡¡¡

Please help, need your opinion of best choice for a survivor pick¡¡

 

Thanks¡¡

Considering you can only play each team once

Houston.

Only 3 real options:

Chi, Hou and Det

They are all good teams, at home; playing a shitty team, on the road. Plus, they are all non-division games.

In order of confidence:

Det, Hou, Chi.

Thanks vetdrm, same idea over here, I want to pick not one of the elite teams to use them in the middle of the season.  

Thanks Yavapai.

Thanks jbkizzle¡¡¡

 

agree with detroit

Minnesota

Chicago monster of the midway.

 

Chicago, Houston, or New Orleans.  I wouldn't trust the Detroit defense just yet

I usually like to use home teams but I believe Philly is the right pick for a few reasons.

1. Their home schedule and overall schedule is brutal. @ Cleveland wk 1 and @ wk 3 Arizona look like the 2 easiest games on their schedule. Their home games are vs Baltimore, NYG, Detroit, Atlanta, Dallas, Carolina, Cinci, and Washington. I don't see a easy game at all @ home..... or at least  not until late in the season. The pool may be done by then.

2. Cleveland is real bad. Starting a rookie QB, #1  rookie RB coming off knee surgery, and Joe Haden possibly serving suspension.

3. Most importantly, how long will Vick last? he could be out by week 2..... then Philly is a sub .500 team. I'm not sure they are a playoff team anyway.

Their easiest game is week 1 and they are as healthy as they are going to get.

I've won some survivor pools in the past and I always just went with what I thought was the safest play on the board.  I found trying to save teams for later resulted in there not being a later.  With that said I would go Chicago or Houston.

#1 Houston

Thanks everyone.

Cornholio, interesting points¡¡¡

Houston....

I agree,use the good teams as you can,saving is pointless if your out. The object is to survive,remember.

also i agree with using philly now while their healthy and games get tough for them.Hell i'm taking em laying 8.5 in my ats contest.
