Default NFL Survival Football

Last year we had this Survival Football (NFL Suicide Pool) and had fun with it. Anyone starting one this NFL season?

Is there any other pick? Team who is a pre season favorite going against a team that might make your Dolphins from last year look like a powerhouse.

Beyond the Pats, no real sure-fire choices for week one. However it's a shame to cash in that Pats chip so early.

Your insane. Stay away from road teams, unless your back is up against the wall. As bad as the Falcons could be this coming season. Detroit is nothing speacil either. I see a few other save home teams to pick in week 1.

I understand the idea of saving the Pats...but fart...I've lost in week one two years in a row. So Whats the point of saving for week two if you can't get out of week one! If I'm dead after week one...at least my Chiefs got their win for the year.
