Suicide pool--Pitt or Baltimore?
 

I'm in a work suicide pool--I must make one pick a week, straight, no line. I've already used New England and Denver, so I can't pick them again. I think Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both good picks this week. Which would you pick?

Balt...Pitt has more favorable matchups later in the year.

i wouldnt waste these two teams so early in the year...go with KC

Yeah, it's usually a good idea to pick an 0-2 team in a suicide pool.

Next week, if you're still alive, pick Atlanta. Or maybe Buffalo.

You dont think KC at home vs Minn with a new qb is a decent pick?
Also, in suicide leagues you try to save some of the good picks.
But keep only betting by records and not matchups. Nice comparison of KC at arrowhead to Atl or Buff.

I don't know too much about football, admittedly. I'd rather play poker than watch football [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But I'd rather take what I see as a smaller edge later in the season and take my chances than bust out in Week 3. I appreciate your idea, though.

KC's one-dimensional offense doesn't match up well against Minnesota either. This seems like a game that could easily be decided by one defensive or special-teams TD so I wouldn't be thrilled about betting money on it or picking it in a survivor pool.

To the person who said Pittsburgh has more favorable matchups later in the year, it looks like the other way around to me? I'm looking at Baltimore week 6 vs. St. Louis but Pittsburgh doesn't have a usable game for almost two months. In any case I'm on New England.

Backward ass thinking.

Thanks. I couldn't come up with a better example of horrible advice for suicide pools.
