I was originally going to take the Rams, but with Kyren not playing, I'm going to steer clear of that one I think. I will likely end up taking the Seahawks, especially with a Conner-less Cardinals team looking pretty ugly on offense, but I really like the Colts over the Browns as well even if that is probably more of a coinflip.

Seattle Seahawks

Yeah Connor was the glue keeping them together. As soon as he went out Rams became the easy pick last week.

Now Seattle's off a terrible self-destructive loss and won't be overlooking them.

Seahawks

seahawks make the most sense for me for now but i am not crazy about them. will lock em in for now

Seahawks

Not a gimme, but seems like the safest pick. Lots of tough games this week. Not like there's a better game to take the Seahawks later anyway.

fuck it, let's break away from the pack, go cardinals

Buffalo Bills

Getting a real bad feeling from the Seattle game so lets do something on the dumber side.

Raiders

Going with the battle of backup rookie QBs huh

Seahawks

tough week. Not sure this is the right pick but we're going with it for now.

i am also really uneasy about the hawks but wanna take bills next week. may end up switching anyway but will stick with seattle for now

Yeah, I'm just going to stick with the Seahawks

Rams

Well gravy, this is where we part ways.

Seahawks

Don't really trust them but I trust the Raiders even less.

If Seattle hadn't just dropped a giant steaming pile on turd in blowing a game where they dominated the Bengals, I might actually be worried.

whew glad i stuck with seattle...they haven't won but my only other consideration was bills

Well I'm glad that I didn't go with the Colts

We are currently down to 14 users and could easily be left with just two entering tomorrow and even 0 come next week

So like, everyone not on Seattle died?

Two people are on the 49ers for tomorrow

The two on the 49ers are still alive

Also, that's exactly why I didn't pick the Rams. The Steelers are masters of winning games they have no business winning.

I almost took the Steelers and Bears to win their games!

I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it

I'd been really tempted to take the Giants because of an incredibly strong gut feeling inspired by the Commanders losing to the Bears earlier. But honestly, after their past couple of showing the Seahawks aren't really that much more valuable to hold onto versus the Giants anyway.

Damn

This definitely felt like the time to get rid of Seattle.

Geno Smith appears to be gradually turning back into a pumpkin.

The question I have is will anyone be bold enough to go Houston next week?

Keep on surviving

i definitely won't be taking houston next week. i think stroud is really good but the team i don't trust. had planned on taking the bills but idk, probably between bills and chargers for me next week

I'm leaning toward Colts or Chargers, but I don't feel super great about either

not sure why you keep wanting to take a bad team against teams that aren't actually bad

also fortunately for me I haven't taken the Lions yet and that looks like the best bet

You wanted to take the Colts this week and they were an underdog that 75% of the country picked against to even win their game so you might be blind when it comes to the Colts.

Yep the Colts are a pretty bad pick next week too.

damn can't believe I'm going down to primetime Kirk Cousins

no regrets, with my options 49ers were clearly the best choice. Based on my pick'em this week I would've gotten every other game wrong except the Browns, but I was trying to save the Browns for week 9

It's not over yet!

turns out the Seahawks were the safe pick this week in every sense of the word

There is one "bad" pick I actually like for next week, and it's a team I never thought I'd look at.

The Jets. They're meaningfully better than the Giants even with Wilson at QB. The spread being at 3 is too low.

Baltimore at Arizona feels like all sorts of trap to me.

We've seen it all year, the team who has the biggest win of the week falls flat the next game

I think the Jets are a decent pick next week, actually. Their defense should be able to wreck the Giants.

The Giants tend to win the NY vs NY matchup over the years though. I've thought about that game myself but I don't think I can pull that trigger when the Jets seem primed to lay an egg, at home.
