Who is your best pick for NFL next week?
 

I am in a last man standing pool with friends. No point spread. Pick one team a week. Once you have used them, you can't pick them again.

So far this season I am undefeated and I have used Indy, Pittsburgh, Philly, Cincinnati, and Denver.

I am in the same type of thing. I never take roads teams, so the games I am looking at are TB over Miami, Sea over Hou, or KC over Washington. I am leaning towards TB unless Cadillac doesn't play then I will propbably take SEA.

Seattle looks like the easy play. They're the safer pick and on top of that they're not good enough to want to "save".

Yeah true, but the way I see it is its hard enough to win in a Survivor league as it is so I don't worry about "saving" teams I just want to survive to next week.

First thought is Seattle, but ATL could be a good pick if Vick starts, which I think he will.

I'll try and remember that next year. The Packers have screwed me 2 yrs in a row - last yr vs. the Giants, this yr vs. Cleveland.
Like you I never pick road teams no matter what.

Your strategy should depend upon the number of players in the league. Against 2 other guys, you should just pick the best team no matter what each week.

Against 50 players in Yahoo! Public League or something, you may want to save the best teams if you're only giving up a very small edge.

Im still standing against 9 players and I see no choice but Seattle. I agree with all said for this pick. The 2 donkeys that got knocked last week in my pool were on TB. NFL= Take the home team always. Well there are exceptions like Indy at SF yesterday. Funny thing in my pool no one has taken NE yet. Has anyone here taken NE they really have not been in a good spot yet. btw I had to sweat Denver yesterday as did a lot of players in my pool.

anyone know how often the home team wins SU?

It's starting to look like Seattle or Atlanta. I still have not used New England but I am not going to start with them going to Denver.
