Very impressed they made that first time play and called a time out so fast!

Another week of full survival.

I thought this might happen. I figured so many people would be on the Colts and Rams that I was considering a last-second swap this morning. Good thing I didn't.

Congrats on the Jacksonville pick. Those outliers don't always work out.

Yeah, going with a less popular pick can work out great if there's a major upset, but the odds are higher of it backfiring. There just haven't been too many major upsets this year. Close calls? yes? But the favored teams having still been pulling out wins in most cases. It's very likely that when an upset does happen it going to wipe out several people at once. Either that, or if we're all still here in week 10 it'll get down to where you've already used most of the favored teams and are forced to take more of a chance.

What week do we have to start making two picks?

We don't.

I managed to forget to adjust that setting.

Yep, easy picks are running out.

Only 2 of us haven't picked the Bills.
Only 3 of us haven't picked the Bucs.
Only 4 of us haven't picked the Rams.


Etc Etc Etc,

Add in bye weeks coming and it starts getting really interesting.

Yeah, that's my general eliminator strategy, pick the biggest teams the first five weeks and *then* start worrying about strategy. The best teams at the end of the year aren't always the same as the best teams at the beginning of the year.

Looking ahead, Week 13 is the only one that not having access to those three teams worries me.

Time stamp 2:53 eastern standard time,
Sunday 10-24
The game starts in over a hour,
I’m having technical difficulties
I pick the Rams for this week,

The way things are heading - it just takes an upset week with the Jags, Lions, or Jets and we'll be down to just a couple teams
