Survivor Pool Pick Help

gottimd · 12-20-2005, 10:42 AM

Started with 5,000 entries, now down to 217 with 2 weeks to go. No spread involved, my only available options are:

St. Louis over Niners
Miami over Tennessee
Minnesota over Baltimore

Which one should I choose?

RPI-Fan · 12-20-2005, 11:07 AM

Miami, without a doubt.

Hey! I thought you had Niners of St. Louis!

I wouldn't touch the Baltimore game, given that Boller looked good against what I believe was the #5 defense in the league going into last week.

Miami goes as their QB goes... but San Fran is just so damn bad.

Who do these 3 teams play next week?

I am tempted to take the Rams over the Niners.

Do you mean in Week 17?

Rams play Dallas
Miami plays the Pats
Minnesota plays the Bears

The teams I have left to pick from are:
Washington, Miami, Dallas, Tampa, Tennessee, Vikings, Rams, Packers, Bills, Jets, Raiders, Cardinals, Browns, Lions, Saints, Texans, Niners

So my options for this week are obviously limited (at least I think to the 3 games I mentioned above)

I'd have to go with the Rams or the Dolphins.

I'd also say, you should probably pick the one of them that gets the fewest votes in this poll.

CARDINALS 7 210 97%
BROWNS 8 209 96%
LIONS 5 212 98%
SAINTS 1 216 100%
TEXANS 1 216 100%
NINERS 0 217 100%

This is what the pool looks like as of now. The first set of numbers are the amount of times the entries that are left over (217) have picked that team. The next column is the number of times left for all of the 217 to pick that team (ex Niners 0 picked so far, 217 times left to pick) and the last % number is the percent of the pool who still has that team available.

I think I am gonna go with the Rams, and cross my fingers. The pot is $250K, with 1/2 going to charity, so essentially $125K.

You have to at least consider the Bucs over the Falcons, don't you?

digamma · 12-27-2005, 10:30 AM

Did you pick the Rams?

gottimd · 12-27-2005, 10:36 AM

Yes, and I am so happy about that

What a waste, I make through 16 weeks of a survivor pool and I botch it. You have no idea how pissed I was. I didn't see enough responses here, so I was asking some other people as well and the consensus was the Rams.

I should've listened to Glengoynes advice of not picking the one everyone here chose.
