It’s up on TD, and I know many of you play elsewhere, too. Thoughts?

If I had to pick after the quick perusal I just did, I think I would have to go Chargers.

I’m going with Miami v the Raiders. I’m either going out week one or buying myself a huge advantage by getting a W with a terrible team.

Miami is terrible but I just don’t see how the raiders win with a rookie qb and rookie head coach in week 1

Is this where I post my annual rant about how much I hate survivor pools?

Kubiak hasn’t named the starter yet, but everything I’ve read seems to lean toward it being Cousins.

Philly for week 1. Playing Washington.. seems like it should be an easy win.

I died in week 1 once because I faded Jacksonville and they won.

They didn't win another game all year.

Going Jags. Probably get fricked because Sunshine throws like 4 picks or some shite.

Jags are a good pick considering how much of a dumpster fire Cleveland's quarterback situation is. And you aren't burning a good team. Could also go Vegas with the Fins being in the 8th circle of cap hell.

Just not sure I want to trust either team even against a bad opponent.

They had one of the best defenses in the nfl last year and the hottest offense over the second half of last season. Their skilled players are among the leagues best. What exactly is a good team to you?

I don't trust them to stay good based on their history.

Detour: does anyone know if there’s an app that lets you set up and track a survivor pool with your friends, similar to a fantasy app? Needs to be FREE.

I mean maybe. It’s a completely new, modern regime though. I think they make the AFC title game. It’s a pretty stacked roster.

Absolutely Jacksonville. Which means they are losing.

I was kind of thinking Pittsburgh just to be different.

not my final answer but I hate being all in with either a 1A or 1B selection in Week 1 when everyone else is on 1A or 1B.

by the way, frick you Bengals!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry asses lost to the Jets at home last year and kicked me out

Detroit scores above 20.

That'll probably be 14 more than it takes
