I'll keep it short and sweet.....

Vikings at home over the Bills with all 3 of my entries.

Don't overthink this :lol:

haha, already had mine locked in as well. There are a couple other decent options, but this is a no-brainer. So naturally the Bills are probably going to win and knock out 95% of remaining players in all survivor leagues.

I was also thinking the same thing lol.

For people with multiple lives, are you considering anyone else? Not in any specific order: Ravens, Texans, Chiefs, Jags, Eagles, Rams. Any of them seem like a worth while pick?

In my double elimination pool I'm strongly considering the Jags/Eagles. This would allow me to save the Vikings for their week 6 home match up against the Cardinals. In week 6, the only other potentially favorable match up I currently see is the Texans vs the Bills. Though the Texans haven't inspired confidence lately.

I feel like trying to "save" teams typically doesn't go as planned, but with the double elimination it might be worth the risk for later in the year.

I could see all those teams potentially losing their respective games and I would not feel comfortable at all taking any of them. How dumb would you feel if you didnt take the Vikings and your team ends up losing.

I don't think there is more of a sure thing game all season then Vikes vs the Bills this week.

Yeah, take the higher percentage option now. The landscape changes so quickly, by week 6, there may be another no-brainer option due to injuries. Anyone plan on the Bucs beating the Saints and Eagles so far?? Don't get cute, play it one week at a time.

Yeah they could. I 100% agree the Vikings are the obvious choice, but with multiple lives it helps to have diversity, so that later on in the season at least one life will have a team available.

I actually took the Vikings Week 1 as I trust them at home (including this week), but not at all on the road. Have not decided who I am taking this week yet.

Even at 0-2 I will continue to stick with my Oakland Raiders. :)

I agree with that but so much can change in a week. What if Aaron Rodgers gets hurt this week and is done for the season? Everyone who "saved" the Packers for next week against the Bills will be unable to use them the rest of the season.

Yep, I used the Vikes in WK1 too... this week I'm still debating, but it's down to PHI or JAX and leaning towards JAX so far. Tough choice this week unless of course you still have MIN to choose.

I have used the Vikings and Rams in both of mine in the first two weeks - leaning NE, Philly,KC, or Chicago- I know two are on the road but man how bad is Arizona
