Your "safe" pick won by 3 at home as well. And wtf is sports handicapping if not results orientated.
Next time you try to rail someones pick do something more than saying they are bad. Explain why.

And, as usual, your reasoning is completely flawed. If you go deep into a survivor season how can you avoid picking poor teams by finding value? WTF does that mean. You will now have to rely on mediocore teams.

It's one thing to go deep and then rely on a team playing .500 ball to beat a bottom of the league team. It's a completely different thing to pick a bottom of the league team just cause they're at home with another bottom of the league team. KC is clearly bottom of the league, with Minnesota, Atlanta, Miami, and Cleveland. It should be completely obvious I'll never have to worry about picking any of them in my pool this year.

Jazzy,

I'll repeat this again. In pools, separation is the most important concept. You are achieving this but don't even realize why. Not to mention choosing trash teams with a low win % is pointless as you'll likely never make it to the end to use your "good" teams.

Teams I still have left in my suicide pool.

Steelers, Ravens, Colts, Broncos, Chargers, Cowboys, Packers.

That should get me to at least Week 10!

Plus anybody playing the Falcons.

I went with the "save the best teams" strategy and have made it through week 3 with Houston, Jacksonville, and Oakland.

God bless the Raiders' special teams.

Okay. Survivor rulez:

1) Seperation
2) No saving teams
3) make it to happy arbitrage time at the end of the season
4) Profit

As long as your pool isn't too good, so to speak.
