261 still alive, and more depending on the KC @ NE game tonight.

Next week is tricky. Thinking Packers over Vikings if Teddy can't go.

May be the only week I feel some what confident with the Saints. So I may roll with them. Could also go with Detroit.

Thought about Steelers over Jags, but after yesterday I'll pass

Did you end up going with Baltimore over Carolina?

How many people were eliminated because of the PIT/TBB game?

Me too.

Bortles looked impressive at times, also

Not going near Pitt this week.

how about the 49ers at home against KC?

or maybe they are still a little too risky to take at this point? meh.

might go that route.

The Saints might be a good pick too. But honestly, if they were playing on the road I wouldn't touch them. Makes the most sense to take them this week I think. They have a lot of tougher home games later on.

Detroit over Buffalo will attract a lot of people.

Possibly Dallas over Houston...?

That would mean trusting my fate in survivor to Tony Romo...

Picked the Chargers at the last minute over Pitt, so i'm still alive. Currently debating between taking Seattle over Washington or Saints over Bucs. I'm leaning towards Seattle because even though NO is at home, they have been just flat out bad all year.

Not bad through the 1st few weeks. This week is tricky though. Seattle coming off a bye and the Skins looking so horrible makes me like Seattle a lot.

I'm leaning towards taking Seattle right now as well.

I like several available plays...

Detroit at home over Buffalo, San Diego at home over NY Jets, Denver at home over Arizona (undefeated or not), and I like Seattle @ Washington.

I'd bet on Dallas as well, but I don't like them better than the four above.

Im down to 2 in my pool. I find week 5 very interesting.

My initial lean a few weeks ago was the Saints at home v the Bucs and despite the Saints struggles I think I still like it, I have to trust Brees and co. in the dome and TB still isn't a very good football team despite their clutch win v Pitt

Other thoughts:

Seattle @ Skins ... this might be a case where I wouldn't mind backing a road team, although I don't think the Skins are as bad as they looked on Thursday. games can get ugly with 5 turnovers no matter who you are.

Bills @ Lions ... I think I like this one more and more

Chiefs @ 49ers .. Well the Niners appear inconsistent as do the Chiefs, who knows Alex Smith might have a career day against his former team.


EDIT: If I hadn't already used GB, GB at home v Minny on a short week for Minny with a rookie QB and no Peterson would absolutely be my pick.
