OAK vs
NYJ

CLE vs
PIT

CIN vs
BAL

IND vs
DEN

BUF vs
CHI

JAX vs
PHI

WAS
vs HOU

SD vs
ARI

GB vs
SEA

NO
vs ATL

MIN vs

Well my logic is that we can't repeat teams, so eventually you're going to have to take one of the shitty teams. Since I've already used PHI and NO, it's about time I got into the terrible dregs when I can before it's too late.

If you get your three strikes on marginal teams, saving the "good" teams will be moot.


Yes, I actually realized that we'll only be picking 16/32 of the teams anyways before the playoffs.

Changing my pick to
Indianapolis

They never should have sucked in the first place. The Steelers just dropped the ball this week.

Yeah CHI vs ATL is going to be fascinating. I've been comparing the trio of PIT/CHI/ATL all season as being extremely similar teams and I'm interested to see how they all performed against each other. I think of all of us Chicago is in the best shape though.
