Survivor--a rough week coming
So I am really in a bad spot now...

Of the potential teams I have left these are my options...Denver should be the one but I went out on Denver v Oakland last year in this game and it still haunts me so what would you do??

ARZ @ det
HOU @ stl
SAN DIEGO VS cincy
SEATTLE VS tb
DENVER VS oak

I'm likely taking Houston.

Trying to save SD, Den, AZ, Phily, Pitt for the playoffs, and already used Sea. If I were you, ACE, I'd be all over Seattle! TB not doing that long travel and getting a W. They were the worst team in the NFL this week, and they were at home.

Sadly, already used NO, Indy, and Minny. Really needed those for the playoffs, but didn't realize I'd still be in it.

Already got a couple wins with SF and NYJ to preserve some better teams.

Thanks for the input guys

No need to take a chance with Seattle because the teams reset in the playoffs for those still alive and I need to just pick games vs the spread if it gets that far

So...

my best options are..

Denver currently -14 -900
Arizona currently -12 -700

and Houston but they still havent put a line up with the lack of info on QB for Stl

My biggest concern is margin of victory really as I am 8 pts behind and that is the ultimate tiebreaker...I really am torn on this one bc Oakland pulled it off last year @ Denver and I have the memories but I hate to take a road team period albeit the Lions!!!

There are 11 left in mine.There is no tie breaker so I am assuming the 2k will be split here also.

I need to get into a survivor pool next year. There aren't any around where I live that I know of.

Went with Arizona for a couple reasons....

They need it

Detroit is terrible and in a bad injury spot

May need Denver for wk 17 since SDG may have nothing to play for vs Wash at that point

ARZ may rest ppl vs Rams in wk 16 since they are likely to clinch this week


Only thing that scares me is Detroit can win @ home and if Zona turns it over 9 more times they will lose away from home...period
