Philly a safe play this week for Survivor pool?

Its tough picking winners in final week of season, but thinking Philly looks like a sure thing. I think they want to finish .500 for season for at least a little respect and being a home game against divion rival, I just don't see them losing this game. May not cover 9 points but I don't need that, just a win.

Anyone give me a reason not to play them? If I can thru to the playoffs I am in pretty good shape in my survivor pool.

This is a survivor pool that started in week 10 and runs thru playoffs, but no reset. The key is to try and have enough playoff teams left to last thru playoffs. There are only 10 teams left(81 original, $50 entry, $4050 pot)) and most have already used Packers, Patriots and Steelers and every team has already used 49ers. I have not used Pack, Pats or Steelers. I also have Ravens and Saints available. Plan on using Saints next week provided SF wins this week and Saints play 1st playoff weekend. So, to answer your question, no its not the only team available but I think my best choice looking ahead...

Other consideration should be new england since you have them available. Can't see them losing this game to clinch #1 seed in afc to a buffalo team that they lost to early in the season. Ne has owned buff over the years. Good luck whichever you decide.

Philly, line opened up at 9 1/2 now down to 8.

Any consideration on Atlanta?? They have sealed a playoff spot but will want to remain AHEAD of Detroit. This eliminates a return beating in NewOrleans. So the Falcons do have something to play for unless of course your game plan was to have the Falcons in your back pocket for the playoffs?

ATL is a good choice since they're home and really want to win so they don't have to play NO in the first round.

Use them now if you can and not in the playoffs. GL!

if detroit wins at 1pm, they clinch 5 seed and atlanta has nothing to play for at 4pm.
