Survival Football - Week 13

Survival Football - Week 13 This weeks choices for me: San Diego > Oakland Chicago > Detroit Seattle > Carolina I'd like to use San Diego, but San Diego would be useful to have come week 15 when they host SF on a short week. That being said, Chicago may be my 2nd choice. Detroit starting Stanton. Detroit can't run the ball, etc. Being from Detroit, I don't want the "Detroit Sucks" mentality affect my decision making. In the pool, I hate division rivalries (which SD/Oak is too), let alone taking a road team. Chi is -4' last I looked. If, say KC was -4' at Den, I would say you would be nuts for taking KC over a team like SD. Well this is what Chi is, and I'm not saying i'm nuts, because I believe Detroit sucks. 10 years of losing will do that to you. But, this is a revenge game for Detroit from the week 1 Calvin Johnson process was not completed no catch for not a TD which many feel Detroit was ripped off. If you look at the Stats for that game, you would thought Chicago won the game convincingly. So, I figure the rest of you, who are basically independent of Detroit, can help me decide. Is Detroit a live dog here? Do I stay away from the game? How do you see it? Thanks in advance!
My experience with survivor is to not save a team for a rainy day under any circumstances. Fezzik gave me some advice for survivor pools. Take the biggest fave and pray. Take san diego now and live to fight next week, jmo
I think Seattle is the safe pick. If this is for big money, you could always do a small Carolina moneyline hedge.
10k first place. Top 5 are in the money. 21 players remain. 8 in barn with Philly. I have 2 picks left...one on philly and one more for tomorrow.
