Survivor Week 1

I thought Cleveland would win, but knew it wasn't going to be a gimme game at all. I had Tennessee originally in my pick em, but went back to Cleveland unfortunately. No way I was touching this game in Survivor though.

Saving the Patriots for an uglier week. Ravens at home against Cardinals is what I'm rolling for week 2. Chargers vs Lions is also very appealing.

Yeah I already have Baltimore penciled in honestly. Specifically stayed away from them Week 1 cause I was already looking at them for Week 2 lol.

For most people, unless you wanna burn the Pats or Chiefs early, it's probably between:
- BAL (vs ARI)
- HOU (vs JAX w/o Foles)
- CAR (vs TB)

Ya I was thinking Carolina too, but division game + TNF can cause some weirdness. 90% sure I'm going Baltimore as of today.

I'm not picking the Patriots this week.

1. To save them for later
2. While I would still be very surprised if they lost, Brady and the Pats have struggled historically in Miami for some reason even against very poor teams.

Gonna stick with whoever plays the Dolphins until week 11 when they play the Bills a second time

They play the Patriots this week though. There are other great matchups that allow you to keep the Patriots for later in the year when the options become more limited. The Dolphins are going to be great for using picks on teams you wouldn't use against almost any other teamteam though.

I'm going CAR. I have BAL penciled in at week 6 Home to the Bungals... Of course they almost knocked out my 1st pick this week in Seattle...

Week 3 DAL vs MIA
4 Chargers at MIA (had Falcons vs TEN but switched it just now)
5 Eagles vs Jets (could also go Bears at Raiders or Pats at Skins, but I think saving the Pats is the smartest bet)
6 Ravens vs Bengals (Packers vs Lions or Rams vs 49ers)
7 Packers vs Raiders (lots of good teams playing good teams this week)
8 Vikings vs Skins (Rams vs Bengals, Texans vs Raiders, Saints vs Cardinals, Steelers vs Dolphins... Lots of flexibility here...)
9 Steelers vs Colts (Jets at Dolphins... Tough week here. I'd like to go Seahawks vs Bucs but used Seattle week 1)
10 Bears vs Lions (maybe Colts vs Dolphins but Bears seem obvious here)
11 Saints at Bucs (lots of good matchups with good teams here too)
12 Browns vs Dolphins (Texans vs Colts a possibility, want to pick ATL but that seems a trap vs TB)
13 Chiefs vs Raiders (Rams at Cardinals)
14 Texans vs Broncos
15 Giants vs Dolphins
16 Rams at 49ers
17 Pats vs Dolphins

Falcons and Jags seem like the best 2 unused teams for me
