Tony and Rich continue to plug along. The rest of us … uggh.
Carolina was the winner of choice for both of our good pickers. The rest of us missed the boat with Green Bay, Denver and Cincinnati – three teams that a couple weeks ago were undefeated.
Thus is the unpredictability of the 2015 NFL season.
Anyway, here’s where we stand in terms of teams used:
Previously used | |
Rich | NY Jets, New England, Seattle, Green Bay, NY Giants, Cincinnati (winner), Arizona, Kansas City, NY Jets (duplicate), Carolina |
Tony | Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Indianapolis, New England, Seattle (eliminated), Atlanta, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Carolina |
Maggio | New England, New Orleans (eliminated), Seattle, Indianapolis, Kansas City (miss), NY Jets, San Diego (miss), Atlanta (miss), Cincinnati (miss), Green Bay (miss) |
Vomhof | Green Bay, New Orleans (eliminated), Seattle, Indianapolis, Kansas City (miss), Minnesota, Arizona, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Denver (miss) |
Andy | Green Bay, Arizona, Seattle, Indianapolis, Kansas City (eliminated), New England, Atlanta, St. Louis, New Orleans (miss), Cincinnati (miss) |
Here are our picks for this week.

And here is why:

Romo’s back, and Dan Campbell’s honeymoon is over.

I sooooooo wanted to go with Minnesota—especially in a survivor pick that doesn’t matter. But at the end of the day, I guess I’m still in the running for a 16-1 season, right? Although at this point we’re picking dregs—and Baltimore qualifies as dregs, at 2-7. But they’re playing at home against a St. Louis team that is coming off a drubbing by the Chicago Bears, and just benched their starting quarterback in favor of Case Keenum.
Maggio – Fantasy editor
I may actually get more survivor picks wrong than right this year, which is both hilarious and embarrassing. Hey, maybe I should pick teams that don’t lose games? The Panthers are one of those, having not lost yet this season. Here’s hoping they can contain the red hot Kirk Cousins.
Vomhof – Senior contributing writer
Washington is riding high after absolutely destroying New Orleans on Sunday, but the ‘Aints have a knack for making mediocre offenses look like juggernauts. The Panthers are playing fantastic football, and I just can’t see them snapping their perfect season against Kirk “You Like That” Cousins and the Skins. Carolina goes to 10-0.
Andy – Co-founder, editorial director
Sam Bradford is hurt but he hasn’t been all that great this year anyway. Mark Sanchez is going to be a fine replacement. He’s comfortable. It’s his second year in the system. The Bucs are without Vincent Jackson. Blah, blah. I’m running out of teams to pick and of the ones I have left, the Eagles seem like the safest bet.
