Yeah gimme the

GMEN

. This is more an anti-cards choice than anything else, but I do think the Giants get right here. I mean, its Joshua Dobbs.

[Elias_the_thief]

did people somehow watch a different giants game than I watched last week?

They're favored by 4 and the Cards are also bad. The Giants might be bad but they're not as bad as they looked against Dallas, so it seems like a good way to get through the week and use up the Giants who won't be usable in many matchups this season.

[Elias_the_thief]

I'm playing the long game

[Elias_the_thief]

Got a little adventurous with the Giants last week, so let's overcorrect with the easy money, gimme the

Chiefs

[Elias_the_thief]

I'm actually a little shocked no one got a strike for the cowboys. maybe the cards aren't so bad?

[Elias_the_thief]

Might I humbly request an update to the standings?

[Elias_the_thief]

Alright time to spew.

My upset pick this week is the giants.

We're getting Thomas and Bredeson back so I think we actually do have a real chance to win this game. Its pretty close to an even line as of this morning.

[Elias_the_thief]

Alright maybe a bit risque but let's take the

Vikings

here. Just don't see the panthers slowing down JJ and Addison enough to keep up in this one.

[Elias_the_thief]

I, too, wish that I could pick the commanders again lol

[Elias_the_thief]

I wonder if people picking the lions are at all concerned about them missing Sun god and Gibbs today

I'm gonna take the

Dolphins

. I expect the Giants will have a bit more offense today but they're gonna run all over our defense. Dolphins 31 Giants 14

[Elias_the_thief]

Coincidentally, just picking against the Giants is usually going to work this year.

[Elias_the_thief]

Seems like a good chance to get a cheeky

Las Vegas Raiders

in.

[Elias_the_thief]

I like the

Browns

this week, feel like Gardner's about to turn it over like 3 times trying to hero ball against that defense.

[Elias_the_thief]

This week went really well for me in that it went very poorly for many people

[Elias_the_thief]

Doesn't look like it's actually helping you get ahead of the other 0 strike people, is the problem...

The narrowing of the pool can only help. Looks like a few people are getting knocked out this week.

[Elias_the_thief]

Honestly pretty wild to still have 4 people with a perfect record this far into the season.

[Elias_the_thief]

Didn't see that one coming but I guess losing Deebo and Trent Williams was too much to handle. Still, uncharacteristic mistakes from Purdy

[Elias_the_thief]

Maybe I'll change this later but I feel like I wanna risk it for the biscuit here and go with the

Atlanta Falcons

.

[Elias_the_thief]

buffalo

They already played on Thursday, I think you need to get a different pick in ASAP

[Elias_the_thief]

Oh whoops. Posting as one of my alts in the 3 strikes thread

Saints

[Elias_the_thief]

Guess everyone thinks Kyler's been playing the MW3 release

I'm gonna take the free money this week with the

Cowboys

[Elias_the_thief]

Alright seems like its time to pull out the

Detroit Lions

.

[Elias_the_thief]

Man I really lucked out on the end of that lions game O.O

[Elias_the_thief]

Baltimore

Definitely debated Titans here cuz we'd all go down together but I kinda feel like the Panthers could win?

[Elias_the_thief]

Tough choice between the jags and the chargers but let's roll with the

Chargers

this week. I just don't see Bailey Zappe doing anything other than turning the ball over and the jags pass defense is pretty weak, I can see Browning actually getting it done with Tee Higgins back

[Elias_the_thief]

I don't think its fair asking me to not start the Steelers this week against the Rhamondre-less Pats but I'll think about it

[Elias_the_thief]

At least this will be a more amicable showdown than our last survivor game

I think I'm gonna take your challenge and pass on the game tonight anyhow...Trubs against that Pats defense, I feel like we're gonna see less than 20 total points and a defensive TD could easily win the game for either team.

[Elias_the_thief]

Yay! I won something!

Thanks everyone for a great competition and thanks D3f for running it this year
