Picks for week 1 are now open up until the deadlines (rules and deadlines available in bio on this account). Reply to this post to get your pick in. I will confirm once received. Let the game begin!
Ravens
Another for the Ravens. Siggy wants to make sure he makes it to week 2. Haha.
Believe me, it's no gimme. Week ones are tough. I'm just playing the odds. Texans could be a lot better this season than people think.
I think Ryans will do a good job with Texans but these teams are miles apart in terms of talent but I can't waste the Ravens in week 1. So I will be going in a different direction but I get it.
I have had the don't waste pick strategy before. I was thinking my way out of the pool. Now I employ the KISS strategy, which doesn't always work either.
My strategy is to optimize my pick until I need to utilize the re-buy. Once I am on my last life, I will go into survival mode.
Makes sense. I'm still playing as if there's no second buy in, like my other pool
Are you picking the Ravens in your other pool?
They'd have to make a huge leap and the Ravens take a huge step backward.
With the addition of zay flowers I think the ravens are set. Even if OBJ is washed (I'm not convinced he is) they've got a wicked receiving core. I think Vegas knows what they're doing -10 is a solid indication Ravens are the one this week.
But also. Week 1s are never a gimme. Always madness. Things don't tend to settle til like week 3
Lions with the upset in Arrowhead opening night
Nice SN NFL survivor pool hits the big time with first anon troll.
Troll or someone with crystal ball.
Good guess whoever you are
All paths lead through Detroit
Another Lions fan? The bandwagon is rolling.
Booooooooo lions coming last in the NFC North. Well joint last with the greasy grimey green bay Packers.
Bears for NFC North division winner? Bold.
All paths lead through Detroit
This ain't Detroit this is the Superbowl.
Goff for MVP!
You mean Netflix Quarterbacks Star Kirk Cousins for MVP after Jefferson goes for 2k ;) (actually should be Jefferson gets MVP but it's a QB award so it'll be Kirk)
Ooooo cut me deep. No bears also joint last. All of them go 7-9 and all look trash. Because F em that's why.
Chris Jones out. Travis Kelce likely out. Lions will never have a better opportunity to defeat the Chiefs.
commanders
Locked and loaded. You sure you want to select the same team as @grayruby? I have inside info, that guy has no clue what he is doing.
i am immediately less confident in my pick. but the cardinals are a dumpster fire, and i don't think there are any other games washington has a decent shot at winning, so why not burn them first?
at least, that was my thinking until i saw @grayruby picked the same team...
Haha Awesome. Public was locked on the Commanders all last week but saw I picked them and went with the cool kids and picked the Ravens.
Hey I think you missed my payment (can send a screenshot to verify if necessary - sent Aug 24)
Washington Commanders
My bad. I had your name noted but I missed adding you to list of participants. Sorry about that. Thanks for brining to my attention. Pick locked and loaded.
As bad as Arizona is, I just can't bring myself to take the Washington C-Words.
Lock me into the Ravens for week 1.
Very Original. Locked and Loaded.
Better than having to tell my kids I lost 10,000 sats betting on the C-words, as some people are risking.
Haha. Good point.
Another for the Raisins. Purple pain, Purple pain.
I was so locked in on the Commies til I saw the lines.
My heart wanted to go MN Vs TB.
But my head is saying Ravens. Lock in Ravens please, final answer...
Even if Houston have improved, I just don't see them beating the Ravens.
Let's goooo!!!!
Done. Locked and loaded.
Uh oh... What have I done... 😱😱😜😜
I don't know who Sam Howell is but I am taking the Commanders, at home, to beat the mess that is the Arizona Cardinals, with whatever third string QB they are starting.
That was gunna be my pick. But I dunno, never count the Commies out to screw it up.
Haha rethinking your bet against Zona strategy?
Nah I'm thinking play smart get through week 1 which is always mental. Then you can start branching out to some of the more risky picks. Vegas knows what they're doing and if they're willing to put ravens -10... Then so am I.
Haha Zona a lock now!
Can anyone join in?
If so, I'd have to pick the Chiefs on opening night.
If not, good luck everyone!
Hey moon. Sorry but the deadline to enter was yesterday for this pool. I will probably do some weekly against the spread pick ems for sats throughout the season. Hopefully you will participate.
⭐️ Jaguars (-5) over the Colts⭐️ Jaguars (-5) over the Colts
I like this pick especially against the Colts but wanted to save the Jags for another week.
Locked and loaded. First Jags pick.
Please lock in the Washington Commanders for me! 😎
Taking the same team as @grayruby?
Effective Altruist?
Locked and loaded.
Great minds and all!
Great minds indeed! Lol.
Now lets hope they pull through 🙏🏼
Cardinals are pretty bad but Week 1 can be a mess sometimes.
Exactly.
Will definitely be keeping my fingers crossed while I watch on Red Zone on Sunday. Lol 🤞🏼
Yeah red zone will be very useful to keep track of games from my pool picks.
Ravens!
Not a second wasted. Locked and loaded.
(and Lamar hurts his ankle in practice-out for week 1). Haha. I guess we never covered that. Yes I will accept change of pick in a situation like that up until the deadline but hopefully people don't abuse that and change their pick 4 times every week.
Washington Commanders
In before the buzzer. Locked and loaded
Commanders
Alright Alright. Glad you got it in. Locked and loaded.
Did I pay the buy in? I honestly don't remember
You said you did so I noted you had. It's difficult to tell because 15 people sent the buy in within a couple hours and this account stacked a bunch of rewards because the buy in was so heavily zapped. We are not short sats but you can check your transaction history and see if you paid.
⭐️ I'll pick the Philadelphia Eagles :)
I heard they might be pretty good.
Wumbo Picks the Ravens for Week 1
Another for the Raisins
Vikings!
Ouch. Tough one my friend.
"Should I stay or should I go"
You have one re-buy. The choice shall be yours.
First pick of the purple people eaters. Locked and loaded.
Just did my fantasy draft and I realize that each year that goes by I pay less and less attention to the off season, and therefore know nothing about teams/players. Something something about life and priorities changing. Even the old faithful of Packers owning the Bears is up in the air...
I will officially take the Jags
(but I do think the Packers will continue to own the Bears just for the record)
Second Jags pick. Must be those Trevor Lawrence golden locks.
Give me the Falcons!
Woah. Tightest spread so far. Ball so hard. Locked and loaded.
Lol
Me right now: 🙏
Washington for me, I'll take their D line vs the Cards the O line and whatever scrub is throwing the ball to nobody
Another Sam Howell fan. Locked and Loaded.
Official picks maybe should include a star emoji (or ## sizing) to make it official and easier for you to read, and everyone to see.
