Ravens MB - Survival Pool

[PuRock]

 

As if we didn't have enough games already.  Let's play another one.  A few people were asking for a Survivor Pool.

You are allowed 2 strikes.  Right now the league is slated for a week 1 start.  We can bump it to a week 2 start depending on the # people that sign up by Sunday. 

 

Small Print:  It's free and anyone can play.

I'm in. Very surprised at the consensus week 1 pick. I could easily see the jags upsetting the eagles.

I could too, Jag's D ain't no joke.  Week 1 is a tough pick right off the bat.  

 

I am playing with fire myself,  going with Jets over Oakland.

The first week is brutal. At this point I'm thinking Jets or Bears, but I'm not sure enough on either side.

I like the jets and bears but I think there is one game that's a sure lock. Home team. I have complete confidence with this pick. No question whatsoever. And I always go for the best bet in this game. Why take a chance.

Yea, trying to save a team for a better matchup down the road only gets you toasted.  I'm assuming you're going with Denver.

No. That's a scarey game to me too. The colts owned Denver last year. And manning is going to feel not having decker or weaker in this game. I could see thAt one with in one score.

I think the steelers are going to own the browns. I can't see the browns scoring more than 6 points in this game.

I went with Chicago. I'm expecting big things from the Bears this year while the Bills are a dumpster fire.

I'm in. Picked Detroit to beat the giants. Nervous.

[beanfigger]

Joined. Better late than never.

I can't imagine having to choose in the playoffs.

Starting safe (I hope) - Pittsburgh.

I think the brown s will upset them.

11 players so far.  What do you guys think, should we start week 1 or try and get more people by week 2?

[ravensdan]

Have to start week one imo

[Mt. Crushmore]

start week 1. you get strikes so week 1 could just be a strike if you join late

[codizzle]

Gonna try and get set up during my lunch break at work tonight

[codizzle]

Can we wager something?

11 is decent. Too much and it gets too impersonal to be fun, like joining some random group's pool. Plus, less chance of people flaking.

[Gordo52]

Can we wager something?

No, absolutely not. What do you think this is?

[Gordo52]

Going with the Falcons cuz I'm crazy

Week 1 it is.

 

I wish the settings would allow for a last minute pick on a Monday night game.  Let's say you forget to make your pick before Sunday, you still have a chance to pick one of the teams that play Monday night.  But Yahoo doesn't allow that.  They only have:

 

Option 1:  Sunday at 1 pm EST

Option 2:  5 minutes before the first game of each week (which I assume is Thursday night).  

[codizzle]

No, absolutely not. What do you think this is?

Since you're expecting it... I really need to watch that

[Gordo52]

Going with the Falcons cuz I'm crazy

Ayyyyy lol

Forgot to change it in the pick em league.

[Mt. Crushmore]

2 people picked the Bears.

 

Ayyyyy lol


Forgot to change it in the pick em league.

 

It worked!

[Inqui]

Had the Bears but I switched to the Steelers overnight. I'm a bit disappointed to not take a strike there, but at least I can't pick them again.
