2008 NFL Survival League (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival)

This has nothing to do with the .info Fantasy Football League, I have just always wanted to do a survival league. Up to 50 people can join, so invite your friends. No money, just pride on the line.

Joined.

I say that everyone (up to 50) buys the winner a beer at the next show after the season ends.

FYI: I always think of your name on here as Potsdam.

So if I ever start talking to you at a show about the partitioning of post-war Germany, at least you\'ll know why.

The only way I see one of us winning this survival league is by correctly picking the Rams on the week they win.

While some people try to save the best teams for later in the season, my strategy has been to make the most obvious pick and hope that I never have to gamble. I\'m quickly running out of "obvious" picks.

I don\'t think I ever made it past week 4 in a survival league, at best, maybe week 7, so my strategy has worked so far but I don\'t really have a solid one from here on out.

Probably concentrate on which team without a win has the best chance to win this week.

The battle for Ohio!

You have 32 picks and 16 weeks...

Therefore you don\'t have to pick every team.

You have just helped my strategy.

Completely forgot that every team doesn\'t need to be picked.

you really can\'t do this anymore especially in the first two weeks.  even a \'sure thing\' fails and you get knocked out in the first week (indy losing to chicago in week 1 in their new arena, i believe they were favored to win by 11 points).

you have to pick the heavy favorites in the beginning.  the nfl changes so much in the first few weeks.  and you just have to get lucky.

here\'s some good advice: don\'t pick the lions (in any week...but especially week 1)

I\'m thinking about living dangerously and picking the Rams this week.

Rams over the Bills!

Thats just crazy enough to work.

Down to 5 teams.

Let my mother pick the team today.

She picked the Browns.

Thinking about taking Cincinnati, Miami or San Francisco this week.

Taking the Bears over the Lions today.

Another golden pick by the Mistress Herself, Spacemom.

Spacey, you are aware that you are supposed to pick the winning teams, right?
Title: 2008 NFL Survival League
Post by: Spacey on October 05, 2008, 04:06:31 pm
Bears won.

The pick is made under my name.

The pick is mine and legit.

Don\'t hate because you all are getting beat by a girl.

I might let her take over my fantasy football team.

I also looks like we all might be moving onto next week.

Good job, mates.

It is nothing against the Jets. I have Coles as a receiver on my fantasy team and there is nothing more I would like to see than him catching another 3 from Favre.

Cincinnati is on the brink of a victory.

I still think the Jets win in a blowout. I was just being absurd.

You most certainly did.

You also made me nervous to ever pick against the Jets.

With an assist from the St. Louis Rams, our own Spacey wins the 2008 NFL Survival League in Week 6.

In total, it took only nine incorrect picks (plus four blanks) to eliminate the other 18 participants.
