I think Seattle won right? Close game though.

Next up on my list....looking at the Dolphins at home vs Jacksonville. Oh boy. Other options are:

Cin @ Phil
Wash @ Cle (if RGIII plays)

Everyone in my pool had different picks last week so I was the only one on Seattle.

One guy lost with Tampa and the other 3 survived. Down to 4.

My options are really Miami, Oakland, St Louis, or New Orleans.

My pool has shown the tendency to stray from the favorite. I don't feel comfortable with any other option, I don't even feel that comfortable with the Dolphins tbh.

I'm leaning towards Miami right now, but may switch.

After a week of agony...here is where Im at with my options....and there are a whole lot of them....

Miami vs Jax
Cincy @ Philly
Car @ SD (I could argue for either team)
Wash @ Clev (if RG3 plays.....but I have to pick before tomorrow's game)

Man ....this is tough.

you're head to head. why not just take biggest favorite? if you dont and he does, advantage him.

Well....I know. That's what Im thinking. Because up until this week I feel he's had the advantage because of a few teams he's got left (Chi and NO...and before last week Denver too). But with Chi vs GB and NO vs TB I can't see him picking either.....and he's actually taken Cincy and SD (both on my terrible list).

I think I need to bank on RG3 NOT being confirmed before tomorrow night and having him go another direction. Not that Cleveland can't upset....I just think he goes Wash if RG3 is in.

My opponent just approached me about splitting the money. At first I thought "no way in hell" because I know I have an advantage this week because he already has Cincy and SD off the table, but after looking at future weeks I think I have to do it.

Week 16...he will take Chicago @ Arizona for sure. My options are Carolina vs Oakland or Indy @ KC, two that I feel very comfortable with.

Week 17 is where the issue is. There are very few good games to pick from. The best that I can see right now would be Tennessee over the Jags. Other options for me would be Washington over Dallas or San Diego over Oakland...but seeing as all of the games are divisional and we are so close to just splitting anyway, Im not sure I want to take any chances.

even if RG3 is in, I don't think Wash is that big a favorite over Cle. I would steer clear of that game either way. Miami is definitely much more favored over Jax. I think Jax probably playing for #1 overall too.

He has a huge advantage in week 16. I'm in the same boat as you. Likely Indy or Car in week 16, and I don't feel that great about either of them. I have Pit or NYG in week 17 though, so feel OK about that.

How much is the prize pool? If it's a significant amount I'd consider splitting. Perhaps I'd also try to make a deal whereby it comes into effect after this week. But he may notice he has an advantage in week 16, 17 and say no.

My pool is down to 4. I wouldn't chop it 4-ways right now. But I'd consider chopping if down to 3, and definitely at 2.

Quite sure I'm going Miami this week. Hope the others don't.

Pool total is 470....so we decided to split $400 and continue playing for the $70.

chowder · #**129** 12-14-2012, 12:09 AM

Cool. Nice to have that comfort. Good luck getting the 70.

Funny story.....I had picked Cincy originally as I always just make a pick on Tuesday when it opens. All week I had planned to revise to Miami.....but I guess once I found about this deal I let my guard down a bit....I went on my phone to switch to Miami and I guess I didnt save it. So come game time I check who he picked (Miami)...and see I picked Cincy.

I was initially not happy. Obviously better now.

You going Dolphins?
