In a survivor pool at work. Picked Indy to win last week (most people picked the Pats, I was so mad when they came back)

This week I've narrowed it down to 4 games:

Jets/Pats - Pats to win
Rams/Falcons - Falcons to win
Raiders/Jags - Raiders to win
Steelers/Bengals - Bengals to win

Put Oakland in the mix so I won't be forced to pick them later (and the Jags are terrible). But I'm probably gonna pass.

The Pats SHOULD beat the Jets soundly, but after last week's debacle against Buffalo, the fact they are still figuring out their receiver/TE position, and the Jets actually have a decent front 7 on defense...I may pass on them this week as well.

Steelers looked awful last week and I really believe Cinci is a lot better than people think (and deep as well). This is my 2nd most confident pick.

Atlanta is coming off a loss to a division opponent. They get the subpar Rams at home. There is no way they should lose this game. This is my most confident pick and I will probably go with them.

Thoughts?

This is my pick. PIT is in shambles and CIN is at home coming off a tough road loss - they need the win in a big MNF home game.

I don't trust Oakland whatsoever and they just lost their LT for a month (don't get too cute in survivor, especially early). I'm saving the Pats and Falcons for later.

No chance in hell I would take Oakland, Jax, or Cleveland in survivor at any point of the season.

don't like the Pats-Jets b/c of the short week and it is a division game.

not to interested in trusting Oakland in survivor.

ATL's O-line didn't look very good against the Saints D-line. The Rams D-line is better and will give ATL some real problems IMO.

I like this one the most. Just my opinion. The Steelers looked like they were playing their first preseason game on offense, their execution was terrible. They lost their starting center.

Geno Atkins is a monster on the inside of that Bengals D-line.
