Board 8 > B8 NFL Suicide League: Week 8

(+) Yeah! (+)

And the Colts host the Jets next week.

Wouldn't even consider touching that game, the Colts are a team that finds ways to lose close and the Jets have actually found a way to win both of their competitive games.

Not to mention the Jets have a QB who has averaged 405 yards per start in his career!!!

I knew Bengals would be a mistake.

RIP

11 people remain, the Bucs might be killing one, the Chargers look outmatched and barely lead, and the Chiefs can kill 6 more.

Fun week.

if i go out while holding onto the Rams here i'm going to feel really stupid

---

I'm sweating

Han, earlier you said you didn't have any of the good options available, but you had the Bills! did you use them and it's mismarked in the spreadsheet/OP or something?

I won't be using the Bills until week 17 at the earliest~ Sometimes you just can't take the safest plays if you actually want to win.

This is a now or never time to use the Chiefs, who should smack the Giants unless they just completely broke.

So there goes two more people. 15/24 dead and 6 still have their fate to be determined.

I didn't trust the Bills there and the game was closer than it should have been!

Like the Titans game, this game was loaded with trap potential. Bengals were off a huge divisional road win on the road again against an opponent that looked worse than they are, and the Jets off a horrendous road loss to that they ARE better than against a team they hate. Much like Seattle, I expected this team to come in angry and over perform early on. Their defense kept them in this game in the first half because they didn't want to get embarrassed again.

But just like that Titans game, it's still the Jets. You just can't trust the Jets. I spread bet the Jets, but picking them? Nope.

I would not have felt comfortable taking the Bengals here and I'm glad I ejected them week 4 so I didn't have to make the choice.

Nine remain with six lives still on the line in MNF

We live.

surely you have to be thinking about taking the Bills next week now, right? so few people left it's very unlikely this is even still going week 17, and next week looks so shaky after the Bills

---

Nope. There's one fantastic pick next week and it's not the Bills.

I'm just not sure if I'll use that one either.

---

this is the week to take the Jets

or maybe the Cowboys

Dallas is a great pick both weeks 9 and 10, but they do have some later value.

They're the premo pick next week. If you want the safest lock you take Dallas.

And the value risk is Miami, though I've already gotten away with a few of those: Week 4, week 5, and week 8.

3 wins by a combined 8 points and all 3 teams trailed in the 4th.

I'm at the point where I've discarded a lot of mediocre teams, and also teams with 4 of the 5 hardest remaining schedules (the 5th is the Rams aka almost certainly week 13. The only premo team I've used is Arizona that just saw Kyler get hurt. I probably could play this conservatively now.

But also, "winning" isn't strictly my goal. Going perfect is. The picks I make here are the same picks I'm making in pools with 500-1000+ times the amount of entries than this one.
