Saints have the highest ML; Seahawks and Steelers are close. Taking any other than these three is sub-optimal. You could make a case for the Chiefs or Titans if you feel that a very high proportion of the league is going to take the Saints, but otherwise they're bad choices.

More than half of my league got eliminated this week (234 of 384 chose the Saints) so I really hope my Seahawks pick comes through!!

WTF Saints? How does that happen?

Anyway, there were 4 of us left in my league...and everyone chose NO. I'm not sure what the tiebreaker is in these leagues if there is one, but there's a 4 way tie for first right now. I'm hoping the commish can put us all back in to keep playing next week until we break this tie.

Mike Nolan's father (ex-49ers head coach Dick Nolan) died today. I really hope that doesn't give his team enough extra motivation to win the game.

Well, the commish of my league decided to continue until there's a winner by playing via email. This is a league put together through a vendor at my work and he has some mysterious prize to give out and needs to figure out a true winner.

Right now, Green Bay looks like my best home team option next week.

I advanced this week thanks to the Seahawks. My pool is down to 130 of the 3,102 people that started. 254 people were eliminated this week, 235 of whom chose the Saints. $5,000 for the winner.

I have used PIT, BAL, NE, DAL, TEN, SD, NO, NYG, WAS, SEA.

What should my pick this week be? I'm thinking either Packers at home versus Carolina or Browns in Baltimore or Colts at home against Kansas City. Eagles versus Dolphins is a consideration as well. Same w/ Bucs in Atlanta and Rams in San Francisco.

If I don't use the Colts this week I can take them on Thanksgiving Night in Atlanta.

Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in the same situation and I feel like most people will chose Philly this week so I think I'm gonna go with the Colts to bounce back at home.

Who will you use next week if you use the Colts this week? Indy plays at Atlanta in Week 12 and that is one of the few good matchups we have for survivor that week.

I tried to plan out my picks for the rest of the way and tentatively came up with:

11: Eagles (vs. MIA)
12: Colts (at ATL)
13: seems to be really tough
14: Packers (vs. OAK)
15: Tampa (vs. Falcons)
16: Jaguars (vs. Raiders)
17: Browns (vs. 49ers)
