I'm personally leaning toward the Cowboys or Steelers this week
---

I'm so glad I got rid of the Colts because I'd be terrified of picking them here.

Like Miami is a better pick than the Colts and the Colts are favored by way too much, unless Tyrod Taylor comes back this week and then I'm not even picking Miami to win the game.

It's too soon to pick. Dallas is the overall safest pick of the week though.

---

Really open-ended week. My usual starting point of looking at Vegas spreads vs power rankings yielded eight considerations, and somehow I haven't used any of them. I think now is maybe the time to start looking ahead, and that is why I'm going to take

Buffalo Bills

And just because I'm going to lose this if I put it anywhere else:
10 Pittsburgh (Baltimore)
11 Cleveland (Baltimore)
12 Atlanta (Chicago)
13 LA Rams (Indianapolis)
14 New Orleans (Seattle)
15 Arizona (Dallas)
16 LA Chargers (Dallas)

---

I may completely alter my plan (which to be fair, was using Miami) and pivot onto the Steelers here and the Ravens next week, and just take them both out sooner rather than later.

After reevaluation I may pop the Bills week 15 depending on how I get there. I've had the 49ers plugged in there for a long while and it's never felt great.

I worry about the Steelers offense actually doing anything against the Bears defense if the Bears get their pieces back, which makes it another case where I want to see the injury news first.

I've been reluctant to go near Saints at Jets all year and that hasn't changed given recent events.

Weeks 13 and 14 are loaded with good to great picks that I haven't used yet; more than I originally anticipated.

Cowboys

---

The Chiefs are suddenly a viable pick...?

---

why? did something happen with the packers?

Rodgers tested positive for Covid and is confirmed to be out for the game

---

We have.. Two people with the Chiefs remaining.

---

still don't think it's a great pick unless this turns into a Broncos/Saints situation. but can't argue with "viable" when i'm thinking about taking the Raiders or Dolphins. <_<

---

Well the third string QB apparently also tested positive so we aren't far from a Broncos/Saints situation!

Jordan Love might be okay though since Rodgers hates him so much and probably won't go anywhere near him

He'll try to now!

I dunno if I like the Chiefs that much tbh

Chiefs are now the same pick they were last week.

Viable, but not great,

---

Have we only had two people make their picks so far?

---

Leaning towards Steelers but also considering Saints & Dolphins

"**** be serious yo"

---

I mean like, we just lost 62.5% of our league and we're down to just 9 people. The perceptions of people who are only playing for this league have definitively changed.

The Steelers killed me late last year as a ~14 point favorite which I am allowing to influence me here.

And I just now noticed a potential pick for week 11 that I've never seen before
Dundundun.

Anyway the Steelers are still what I currently have plugged in elsewhere so I'll plug them in here at least for now.

Really I wish I just picked the Colts, but Im waiting on the Dak update

Dak is playing

Dak was virtually confirmed playing days ago.

It's the same as last week. We already know his status.

---

Ravens

Cowboys

but I really considered the Patriots here

---

Cowboys and Saints were my #2 and 3 picks, but I will stick with my #1 in the Steelers.
---

Steelers

---

Saints

---

I'm doing the Monday night game followed by the Thursday night game and I suspect I'm not going to be the only one!

---

Cowboys

---

hope i don't regret this. if i hadn't seen spreads i would have 100% been on the Raiders, but everybody seems more confident in the Cowboys. tiebreaker for me, like usual, is that the Cowboys game is on TV and Raiders game isn't.

---

Dallas isn't the one in this topic that worries me.

New Orleans is.

Oh someone took the Ravens too. I almost picked Minnesota.

---

On the one hand, the Cowboys losing would eliminate me.

On the other hand, fuck the Cowboys, go Broncos!

---

If the Jags score before half, every single team picked in this topic will be trailing at the half.

I still think Dallas and Buffalo win, though. No significant faith in the other two at the moment.

---

Jags lose a fumble and Ravens pick up a TD.

Of course I picked the worst option of the 3

---

Dallas was my "best pick by far" of the week for suicide and I only didn't use them so I could save them for later.

...This isn't the first time this has happened this season.

---

chaos is a ladder

---

Yeah I should have gone with Belichick but whatever karma for picking the cowboys

I would've have gone anywhere near that game!

Oops

---

I hate the Saints so much

---

Wow, well, if I hadn't been eliminated by the Jets last week, pretty sure I would've been eliminated by the Bills this week.

Unless I took the Colts on thursday, but after the Mike White renaissance in week 8 idk if I would have

---

come on Vikings

I crave more BLOOD

https://youtu.be/fMjyd-ToNcM

If the Steelers fall, our league is over.

Well ok the Vikings may still blow this even with an OT turnover.

---

i would have taken the Colts in a heartbeat if i had them available (but not if i also had the Bills available). so really the only way i get through this week is if i had taken Chiefs against WFT instead of Colts that week, Rams last week, and then Colts this week. or just have the stones to keep going with the Dolphins, because i definitely would have taken them against Mills.

Your edit didn't un-jinx it, your fate was sealed with the initial post

Your punishment: Steelers elimination & KokoroAkechi wins the league as a result

gotta hope Tucker misses the last second FG because a tie still eliminates the Ravens picker

Might as well hope the rapture happens <_<

---

I mean the football curse could've confused Baltimore for Minnesota since they both wear purple

no such luck though

---

Let's gooooo

When the turnover happened I forgot they were on the Vikings 30 and not the Ravens 30. For some reason I thought the Vikings were starting in FG range.
