Survivor help

[Dr. Whitetail]

Hey all, Looking for some survivor thoughts.

Looks like the best week 9 options for me are

Atlanta (@INDY)
KANSAS CITY (miami)
San Fran (@WASHINGTON)
OAKLAND (Denver)

My original plan was Atlanta. However, they are on the road. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Only 3 remain in the pool.

Oakland and Atlanta are coming off byes.
Playing 2 of the 3 worst teams (Broncos/Colts).
I like those teams, Oakland has Denver's # lately, Tebow isn't great.

I'll tell you one thing, no 49ers, that looks tougher than it looks.

Eagles.

[Dr. Whitetail]

Thanks CCC. I do have Philly left. Chicago is coming off a bye. But Philly is at home and playing well. Something to consider.

[JunkyardDog47]

I have those same 4 teams left. Both Indy and Miami are winless. Miami has lost 3 games by 3 or less points. Indy has lost 1 game by 3 points. Indy is at home against Atlanta, while Kansas City hosts Miami. Tough to choose between those two games. The Raiders run hot and cold, getting shut out by Kansas City in their last game. I will save San Francisco for a game where they should easily win.

The arrows in Philly's head was because they knocked me out.
Trying to be funny, but only I probably knew that.

My last name is Raleigh, and you live there.
Got a funny story you'll like.

My uncle teaches at UNC and lives in Chapel Hill, but his snail mail gets messed up all the time because of Raleigh.

They question me like the Gestapo when I fly in/out of Raleigh/Durham too. Think I'm someone famous or something, which i'm not.

Keep going strong in the Survivor, great job so far!

have you used Houston already? Thats who i am likely using this week. Of the ones you listed i would go with Oakland I guess. Dont take SF. im a diehard Redskins fan and know this team super well, we will upset SF this weekend and then turn around and lose @Miami next weekend.

[Dr. Whitetail]

Mrhotpicks2. I used Houston week 1 against Indy. SF was low on my list. Really looking at Oakland and Atlanta right now.

CCC that is pretty funny. Not sure I would get aloing with your uncle. I teach at NCSU. ;)

However, I did put 2 units on UNC -3 this morning. I think they roll NCSU this weekend.

[mrhotpicks2]

yeah id probably go with Oakland if your shoes. I sorta like his philly idea as well, philly is going to go on a roll i think just stinks using them against a decent team and not waiting until they play a garbage team.

[resteasy]

Oakland is best bet but don't lock it in straight away if you can. It'll be good to see if McFadden plays. We'll know more if he practices this week.

Philly would be a bad bad pick. Yeah, they had a big win over a crappy dallas team coming off a bye, at home against a divisional opponent. The bears beat them last year and could do it again. They're coming off a bye and get the extra time as it's a monday night game. Should be a good one.

Kansas City would be my next pick being at home.

Then San Fran. Washington is hurting so bad they should win it however they also just got shut out and that usually means revenge game.

Atlanta is just an unknown. Indy is playing at home for the first time in a month. The last time they played at home was against the steelers. Yeah, that long ago. Atlanta is hard to gauge so far. They've been playing more consistent the past few weeks but this one could be an upset if they don't show up.

Oakland

[Dr. Whitetail]

Thanks all. I appreciate the thoughts!

[Dr. Whitetail]

I do have New England left. They are at home playing the Giants. Still think Oakland is a little safer.

[Bisket]

Pats are the best choice by a mile

[Cash Calloway]

Id play the Pats if I still had them alive but I have faith that Atlanta, SF and Oakland all come through.
