They are clearly looking ahead to the Rams on Thursday, evidenced by letting cook and griffin sit out this game. If this was a divisional game, I doubt they keep those guys out. Vikings overlooking the bills and worried this could be a trap game. I don’t think bills will win but wouldnt be stunned either if they did.
Picked the Bears as I thought they would coast and I don't like their later matchups. Had to sweat it, though.
Improbably I've already won one survivor pool, and one has been whittled down from 500 to 11 in just three weeks. Crazy.

Re: Week 3 Survivor Discussion
WOW! This week destroyed survivor pools including myself.
1093 entries in one of my pools is now down to 101
Safe to say the $80,000 prize will probably be won by a single person this year.

Re: Week 3 Survivor Discussion
Bookmaker William Hill took an $18,000 money-line bet on the Minnesota Vikings to beat the Buffalo Bills straight-up at -1,800 odds Sunday morning. The bet would have netted $1,000. The Bills, who were 17-point underdogs, won 27-6, the largest NFL upset in the last 23 seasons.
Shortly before kickoff, a bettor at the SuperBook placed a $9,000 money-line bet on the Vikings at -2,000 odds. The bet would have netted $450.
"That was our biggest win of the morning," MGM director of trading Jeff Stoneback said of the Bills' upset. "A ton of parlays on the Vikings, and a lot of straight bets too. That was by far our biggest game of the day."
The South Point sportsbook took two $1,000 money-line bets on the Buffalo Bills at +1,200 and +1,100. The bets netted $12,000 and $11,000 respectively.
There were 255 money-line bets placed on the Bills to pull the upset at 10-1 odds at William Hill books in Nevada and New Jersey, the largest a $1,000 wager that earned a $10,000 profit.
DraftKings sportsbook in New Jersey kept the Bills as an underdog to win the game, even leading 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. The book didn't make Buffalo the in-game favorite until it went up 24-0 in the second quarter.

I find it fascinating that it took that long for the line to change. Amazing how we can rationalize things to ourselves.Lotto4Life wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 10:28 am Bookmaker William Hill took an $18,000 money-line bet on the Minnesota Vikings to beat the Buffalo Bills straight-up at -1,800 odds Sunday morning.

Re: Week 3 Survivor Discussion
I actually went at halftime to bet a Vikings money line bet and neither of my main online books had one up, hindsight I am glad. I was at the game, so my resources were limited.

Re: Week 3 Survivor Discussion
I am a little surprised so many people would take the Jaguars (the Vikings I could understand) just because of the Titans / Jaguars rivalry - in recent history the Jaguars have only won 1 of the last 6 (including this past week).

As someone who did take the Jags over the Vikings, I thought it was the smart play considering most would take the Vikings.ArrylT wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 11:59 am I am a little surprised so many people would take the Jaguars (the Vikings I could understand) just because of the Titans / Jaguars rivalry - in recent history the Jaguars have only won 1 of the last 6 (including this past week).

My reasoning: the Jags looked great against the Pats last week, they were set to square off against Blaine Gabbert and an anemic Titans offense, and they were at home. Seemed like a great pick at the time... Then Gabbert was concussed and the Jags didn't appear to be able to do anything on offense. It definitely seemed like the right pick in watching how quickly the Vikings game got out of hand as well. My pool is double elimination, so I still have one life left, but I still think it was a solid pick.
These two upsets are probably one of the biggest reasons why the NFL is so much fun; anything can happen...
