Uncle Tito checking in for our new weekly series on how to make it in your survivor pool. Make sure to throw me a follow on Twitter @TitoTalksSports
Happy to have picked a winner last week with the New England Patriots and or the Panthers if you had used the Patriots already. I would have probably had to quit this article series if I got the first pick wrong. In all seriousness Andrew Luck 0-6 lifetime against the Patriots (TB12) is a play I would make 10 out 10 times. Remember the strategy is always move on and not worrying about saving a team for later on in the year.
Logical Choices
Rams -7 vs. Broncos
Bills vs. Texans -10
Arizona vs. Vikings -10
Rams
I love what Sean Mcvay is doing in LA he has this team locked and loaded and ready to play. However, I don’t think this is a great spot for the Rams. Back to Back road games and last weeks game was a tough battle against a Seahawks team that fought until the end. Playing in the Denver altitude is tough and not something I would want to do after playing a tough road game the week prior. Also I think the Broncos get up for this game after they got embarrassed by the New York Jets. I do believe the Rams win but safer plays are on the board this week. Stay away team.
Bills vs. Texans.
The Bills defense hasn’t looked bad but this a tough spot for them. They pulled off a huge upset at home in Orchard Park against the Titans who a week prior beat the defending champs. The Bills away from home haven’t been great. 1-2 and those two losses are 47-3 loss to Baltimore and 22-0 loss to Green Bay. The Texans should get the job done by placing a lot pressure on Josh Allen. Watson took a beating last week and is questionable on the injury report. Unless the QB’s name is Brady or Rodgers I would rather not put my faith a quarterback on the injury report. However, the Bills ruined enough survivor pools already and I won’t risk it on them.
Arizona vs. Vikings
The Vikings are sailing high after beating the defending Super Bowl Champions. The Vikes and Kirk Cousins looked awesome on offense compiling 301 yards completing 30 of 38 passes against a Birds defense that plays great at home. The Cardinals got a win against a struggling 49ers team. The Vikings will get up for this game since they learned the hard way about what can happen if you overlook an opponent. The Vikings are my top choice this week.
