Ravens MB SURVIVOR League 2015

[ravensdan]

Considering there are only 3 divisional games this week I'm assuming you guys either picked Buffalo, Philly or KC. I hate divisional matchups too. That's why I wanted to go Miami last week but I trusted Aaron Rodgers and the Pack to beat Chicago more than I trusted Miami to beat Washington.

Yeah I had green bay too even though it broke the most important rule. No road teams. And yeah there's a better division game this week.

[Inqui]

I was uncomfortable taking a team so popularly backed, but I went with the Saints after all that. Bad idea it seems.

[Inqui]

Looks like that Saints loss did a number on the competition.

You aren't kidding, now I gotta hope Indy doesn't mess things up this week

[52520Andrew]

If the Colts lose this week, we are all getting strikes this week. That would be something

[Mt. Crushmore]

5 of the top 6 teams in percentages picked lost this week. The only one not to are the Colts and they haven't played yet

[beanfigger]

Carnage everywhere!!!!!!

 

 

I can't believe I went against my formula, which never lets me down. The only team that fit the formula this week was Carolina, and I just wasn't comfortable going with them against the Texans for some reason. The formula gets the last laugh.

I originally had Arizona over the Bears.  But changed to New Orleans at the last second.  I also try never to pick divisional games.   Should have stuck with my original instinct.

Yeah. I did the same thing picking the saints even though it was divisional. In hindsight carolina was the pick.

With hindsight the Jags were my pick.

Saints were my second choice, guess we will see tonight if I dodged a bullet or not

Colts should be a lock tonight. It would be too bizzarre for everyone to strike the same week.

I don't trust the Colts after that week 1 debacle and the Jets D is legit. You know the Colts are without 3 of their top 4 CBs plus they can't stop the run.

All reasons why I didn't pick them. I'm just doubtful that the entire league can screw up at the same time.

On the flipside of that, it would be pretty funny if the entire league did cop a strike in the same week.

You are really trying hard to jinx me aren't you

[PuRock]

Colts aren't looking too good so far.  Can't beat the blitz.  

 

At least the Ravens would be in good company at 0-2 if Colts lost.  Seattle, Colts, Eagles, Saints.

The Lions aren't scrubs either. That's why I'm not all that stressed about our start to the season. A lot of those sides will be fine imo.

[Inqui]

Wow, a week in which everyone cops a strike and all of six most popularly backed sides lost. What. A. Week.

[beanfigger]

Now it's a traditional eliminator league from here on out. If we started out as one, it would already be over with everyone tying for the win.

What a boring outcome that would be.

[52520Andrew]

Yeah I was scared all day that this would end up being a loss, oh well we are all even now except Gordo who didn't get a pick in. Gotta be a tough way to go out

 

I know exactly who I am picking this week

Obviously JAX - they are on the up.

[beanfigger]

After this past week, no need to get cute. I'll just take the obvious and put off a real decision until Week 4.

2 obvious choices this week imo.

Right. Maybe even more, but my point is that I won't overthink and "plan ahead".

[PuRock]

If Chicago and Jacksonville both win this week, this game is going to end in a tie.

Call me gutsy, I didn't pick either

Once I get one strike I start playing it very safe and stop trying to save teams.

I can respect that strategy and will probably continue to follow it if I survive this week. With that said, that isn't the reason I made this pick
