Survivor Week 1

tbonfig : 9/2/2014 3:08 pm
I can't believe I am making this thread already. Summer came and went and here we are getting ready to pick our survivor candidate.

No week is ever easy in survivor but the first 3-4 weeks are particularly challenging in that you have a lot of rust being shaken off of each team. New systems are being tested (Giants), new coaches are calling the shows and each team is starting off the season on a level playing field.

For one of my pools, picks need to be in by the end of the day today.

I have changed my methodology each year on how I want to approach the season. The last few seasons I have only worried about picking a team to win that week, that's it. Other years I have tried to plot out paths for my picks, but found that each team is too volatile to try and plan too far ahead.

I usually try to avoid divisional games and away teams.

For week 1, I like Philadelphia (-10) and Chicago (-6.5). If I was so inclined to choose a divisional game, then I would look at Pitt (-6.5) and NO (-3).

What are everyone's thoughts this week?
It's bad

Two rules I always go by. Never take the Giants and always take a Home Team. That being said I took Philly
I think I'm going Pittsburgh

1 - browns never beat pitsburgh
2- Not too sure how good steelers will be so i rather get them out of the way early.
I think the Steelers  
Giantophile : 9/2/2014 4:41 pm : link
