That same list but with non-playoff teams will look pretty similar, just with different names.
Just off the top of my head, Stafford, Newton, Burrow, and Murray were all #1 overalls that are not in the playoffs. Over half of all NFL teams have a starter drafted inside the top 15.
Any opinions on survivor pool for this week? Seems like people on NO, TB. I had Buffalo but I think Pitt is better now, I might be the only person with them. 45 left, runs to Super Bowl where thereās a good chance Iām going to take the dog if I make itā¦
Mentioned this before, but last year in wild card round there were between 23-27 left, all but two of them took New Orleans to beat Minnesota which I think was a 7 pt favorite. The other games were all 3 pts or so. I had Houston over Buffalo, and some other dude took Seattle over Philly which I think was a coin toss.
Ended up sweating the Philly game for all the marbles and Wentz went down early. I ended up chopping with that guy.
So, there is value in surviving, but itās a big money pool and everyone gets really scared about now. Itās the absolute best time to go against the grain. They all pick the favorites.
Iād probably go TB then. Everyone likely to go NO, and think TB has best odds of remaining games. Buffalo close, but feel odds of Allen having a stinker higher than Brady.
The Mets Redsox played a very rare, mid season exhibition game in June of 86 at Fenway Park to benefit the Jimmy Fund. Ironically, it was a WS preview. I was a 14 year old vendor but could work after 6pm cause of some child labor laws. The mood was festive. I got every Met autograph, some multiple times, except Roger McDowell. He wouldnāt even sign before the gates opened. Wouldnāt respond to fans. A complete fukkin cock sucker .
There are a lot of teams that may think they need a different starting QB right now
Jax, Jets, Patriots, Panthers, Bears, Lions (rumors), Dolphins?, Broncos?, Washington, 49ers, Rams, Eagles?, Colts (rivers is a FA/may retire), then the possible retirement list of NO/PIT/TB (though heāll probably play till his arm falls off) and a few longshot possibilities on top of that (and if I forgot someone)
