Help me pick a lock for this week for my suicide pool.
Well here I am again begging for help. Still 4 of us left out of the original 34. Here are the teams that I cannot use this week: Bills, Eagles, Cinn., Colts, Denver, Seattle, Washington. Who shall I take this week? Reminder is it's just straight picks no spreads.

Dallas would be my choice, since they are at home. Tampa Bay is of course another consideration against SFO.

Re: Help me pick a lock for this week for my suicide pool.
lots of solid home faves this week.
Pittsburgh -440 Dallas -375 New England -365 Carolina -334 also Tampa -615 at San Fran I personally like the Cowboys and Bucs over the Steelers here, but technically any of these teams losing would be a really bad beat. |

Bucs, and it's not even close. Their schedule is backloaded with 6 division games, a trip to Foxboro, and the division-leading Redskins at home - none of these are locks. Use 'em or lose 'em.

Bucs is a no brainer.
They have a much better D than Redskins Better running game especially since Cadillac is coming back this week. Alex smith is injured but is going to play thru it instead of sitting for Ken Dorsey. The spread is less than last week...-11 Final Score SF: 7 TB: 34 |

Re: Help me pick a lock for this week for my suicide pool.
I would take (and am taking in my pool) Pittsburgh. I think there is a chance Tampa gets picked off this week, for the following reasons:
(1) They are not that good. (2) They are playing a back-up QB. (3) They are traveling across country. (4) They are playing on the road in an out-of-division game. Am I saying that SF is going to win? No. Just that I think there are better risks to take. Pittsburgh is playing against the worst offense in the history of the NFL, at home, in a division (very meaningful) game. I can't see not taking Pittsburgh here. |

Re: Help me pick a lock for this week for my suicide pool.
Of the three Dallas is the most easy upset.
While their Defense sucks 90% of the time..the Cardinals have talent on their D-Line and Dansby and their offense can explode. So if the spread was 34567 then yeah I'd say it a lock..but at -9 your gambling. Of the three teams...Pitt/TB/Dallas...Pitt is the best team while TB is facing the worst team in the NFL. Balt is bad..but they don't have a rookie QB making his third NFL start while injured. Dallas is facing the team with the most explosive offense but a crappy D. Dallas D should break whatever QB is playing for the Cards, but there is the chance that Kurt or Mcnown can air it out to Boldin or Fitzgerald. I only know this because I have both on my Fantasy Football team and thus am stuck whatching lame ass Cardinals games. They can look horrible for 3 quarters then all of a sudden put up 21 points in the 4th quarter. Doesn't mean this will happen...but given the question...which team is a absolute lock. You'd have to go TB or Pitt. They are much more of a "lock" to cover than Dallas. |

Re: Help me pick a lock for this week for my suicide pool.
oh...then its def. TB
Sf cant beat any team in the nfl with a solid D. They can only beat bad teams with really crappy teams Balt is capable of beating Dallas if they get lucky...Balt is a little less likly but could still upset. |
