I have done that in the past. Bet against the worst team as opposed to picking the best team.
They play the Patriots in week 2. The spread is 19. I think its safe to say most survivor picks will be New England this week.
There don't seem to be a lot of easy picks this week. Even this game violates two things I try to avoid. I don't like picking away teams and I don't like when division rivals play. A lot of division dogs play over their heads because of familiarity/hate.
I'm not taking the Pats on the spread. Straight up all day. Spread picks, yes don't like a lot in week 2. Week 1 was much more attractive.
I survived with the Pats. Ravens would have worked also but would have had to sweat it out.

Not sure if it's a good idea to have a Young Ho around Bob Kraft these days ..... :yo:
On another note I checked my Survivor pool today and was shocked to see I am still alive after 4 weeks. Picked KC at home this week over Indy. Used Saints, Texans, Cowgirls and Chargers so far.
Got knocked out of survivor pool last week thanks to the Rams dismal effort at home to the Bucs. Ridiculous.
Another exciting Thursday night game, that's two in a row. Wonders never cease. Wow Russell Wilson is putting up some monster #'s this season. Always liked him.
Week 5 matchups
Don't see the Bills getting it done in Nashville without Josh Allen at the helm. Barkley is pitiful. Titans should win a low scoring affair and cover the 3 point spread.
Last week the Steelers got on track, even without JuJu doing much. Diontae Johnson is the new flavor. And finally they decided to use some Jaylen Samuels, one of the best backup RB's the NFL. They will not only cover at home as dogs they will beat Baltimore outright.
The 49'ers are 3-0 and coming off the bye. They are at home on Monday night to the Browns who dig themselves into a hole every time with stupid penalties. SF should easily win and over the 3.5 spread.
