J-ALL-DAY Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Week 2 - Raiders Picking against the Jets as long as I can. Up until they start playing the divisional rivals the second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens defense is really good, but the Browns will be competitive in most games this season.....Kizer will take about 10 sacks though LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big9erfan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm going to safe the best teams for when/if I make it a bit further and try to stick with decent teams playing bad teams for now. I'll also take the Ravens this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are other options on the board, but I dontk now that I'll ever feel comfortable taking Baltimore again. I'm banking on the fact that it's at home. If it was at Cleveland, I wouldn't pick this game I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big9erfan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Oops. I don't think I thought one game, or the future, through enough. I'm switching my pick from the Ravens to Carolina. Can't remember if switching allowed. If not I'll stick with Ravens. If switching is OK then it's the Panthers for me. I'll try to never do this again because if Ravens win and Panthers lose I'll kick myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I also like the strategy being used by most to go with mediocre teams against perceived weaker teams. It's how most get eliminated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a little more risk averse down the line. I'm the opposite. I go for safe bets as long as I have them, and then when the going gets tough - bet on the competitive 3-4 team against the 0-7. Otherwise you get teams like the 2016 Raiders that come out of nowhere and sink your ship in the first two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing to win this thing, not finish in the top half. On the other hand I haven't done this before so I'l consider your advice going forward ... if I have a going forward after this week.

That's how I used to guess it. Then I'd lose in the first two weeks too often. Even if you're successful, you might find a week New England is playing Atlanta, Oakland is hosting Kansas City, Green Bay is at Pittsburgh and everyone else are locked in intriguing division matchups that could go either way, and you end up having to hope the Rams can win in Jacksonville. My strategy now - just get a win. When it gets down to two people, it's just a matter of not guessing wrong. But, then again, any given Sunday...No strategy's perfect.
