DTers Survivor pool ready to go.

Waiting for the first week spreads for DTers Pickems.

Who's gonna take the mythical yearly trophies?

Excited to play!!!! Just hoping I remember to make my pickems each week... and last longer than the third week for survivor

Also excited, knowing we are all tied at the beginning, LOL. Falloff pretty quick after we start.

Am I still in on the pickems?

How do you get invited to these?

Use the link in Grateful's posts and sign up bro.

Those links say the leagues are private, and that I cannot join unless invited.

Good luck to all.

Sadly, I'll be sitting out this year.
The app's won't let me in.

GRATEFUL,

Sorry to bug you again, but can you share the new member link for the pick-ems too? I got into the survivor pool, but still cannot access the other group.

Thanks.

Week 1.
Dallas at Tampa Bay Tampa bay, italicized my picks for winners.
Jacksonville at Houston Houston my survivor pick
Green Bay at New Orleans, (played in Jacksonville
Philadelphia at Atlanta
LA Chargers at Washington
Pittsburgh at Buffalo
NY Jets at Panthers

Vikings at Cinncinnati
Arizona at Tennessee
San Francisco at Detroit
Browns at Chiefs
Broncos at NY Giants
Miami at New England
Chicago at LA Rams
Ravens at Raiders

edit. I didn't include my Seattle over Indianapolis pick, should have been my survivor but I don't plan to stay in survivor very long anyway, should never pick divisional games.

Both Pickems and Survivor pools are ready to go.

Can I get a pick em invite/link?

Most probably. That's not something I can do.....I think?

Good to be back! Thanks

For some reason the survivor link wont work

Can't get into survivor, need invited

Got my picks in for both early so I wouldnt forget.

Sorry D4, Hoop..... I'm just "The Town Crier".

Anyone on here with more knowledge to help with their needs?

The new members link that GRATEFUL shared halfway down worked for me in the survivor pool. I still cannot get into the pick'em, though, as there is no new member link for that one.

I think there was a password in the beginning. But that was so many years ago, about 20, that I can't remember what it was.

Anyway, I sent him a PM on FB so if there is one maybe he will post it or message me so I can post it.

Here email invite. http://dtidd.football.cbssports.com/e?ttag=FFBC21__invite_new_email the password was kelly. Don't know if its needed anymore.

Thanks HOOPER! pw was not needed.

I had 3 teams I considered for survivor, (which I'm horrible at, never made it past week 2.) 49ers, Seahwaks, and somehow I decided on Texans.
Never pick a divisional game. But the Texans are up 20 at half, want a survivor pick? Who is playing the jaguars.
Tyrod Taylor, Player of the week!

And for the 2nd year in a row, I'm out week 1.

Way2Go Buffalo

I survived!!!! Was closer than I thought it was gonna be....

One & done

First round of pickems was brutal. I did survive another week though and looks like the survival pool will be as fast a game as last years. only 10 players remain going into week two with half the teams that were good last year getting beat in week one.

I made it through but after week 1, week 2 is even more confusing.

I made it to week 13 last year in a big national $ pool. Out when the Seahawks lost to Colt McCoy.

This year I thought I'd take a shot on Jalen Hurts being hot garbage. Instead, I am hot grabage.

I'm not in your survivor pool but I posted Houston, so I'm going on. This weeks games. This is the best WEEK to pick games of every nfl year all year, because.. Home openers.
Home Openers are where a team that played bad rebounds, so, there's also teams traveling west to east time zone wise, but in the 2020's it feels like the establishment has caught on and are trying to trick us.
Easy stand out games, 49ers at Philadlephia, eagles home opener, both off a win ,but phillys was a blowout sF's 2nd road game. Philly's my pick but not my survivor.

Detroit at Green bay on Monday nigh football? come on, who is Detroit playing the winners, but not my survivor.

look, Jacksonville, it's their home opener, but, this is DTMB, if you can't recognize a terrible situation after 18 years of watching the Browns, that's on you.
Jacksonville is a terrible situation.
and even though it's a home opener, and even though, the Broncos lost Wr Jeremy Jeudy from last week.
(nothing trumps bad coaching, I remember telling myself that back in 2006, "nothing trumps bad coaching")
( I'm leaning Toward Denver as my survivor pick)

Cincinnati at Chicago. Cincinnati hasn't won a road game since, ... well, pretty sure the next 2 statements are true.
1. the last road game Cincy won, was over Houston, very late last year, wk 16, who were playing for draft position.
2. Marvin Louis was coach of the Bengals during their 3 most recent road win, maybe 2nd.

Dallas at La Chargers, chargers won but threw few pass yards against Washington. Dallas, 2nd road game this week at chargers, I'm staying away from tht one.

Thurday night Giants at Washington ,I wrote down giants, but why? Washingtons Qb's out.

focus on, Washington: lost to Chargers 20-16, in Washington. a big dea, why?
the loser only gave up 20, that's a big deal, that rarely happens in the NFL. that's a green flag in recognizing something special that will show up again, if Washington had/has ANY kind of Qb, I'd pick them,
+ Daniel Jones is no star we all know that.
Stay away from divisional games for a survivor pick usually, but 2nd home game in a row for Wash, and Thursday night, (I'm really liking Washington the more I think about it, teams LOVE to bounce back on a Thursday night it's only 4 days of anger from a loss for motivation.)

The Bills lost at home, so they'll be miffed, who do they have this week, At Miami? With Tua Taga-va-throws games away. (Miami won at the patriots 17-16, Miami's coming off a win, a division win, teams play better coming off of a loss, and pats held em to 17 in the win.
the Bills beat em by a hundred to finish the year last year, it doesn't matter where they play,
Miami's good defense, yes, but bills also have a good defense, Buffalo I think will win that game, in Miami, Buffalo is not an 0-2 team. While Miami is a 2-0, more likely they are both 1-1, sounds more reasonable.

Denver is my survivor pick to win this week. (Nothing overTrumps bad coaching.) The Jaguars will win games this year, but I don't think this week. The Jags are a bad situation we know what bad situations look like.
Shout outs to Philadelphia, Green Bay, and Chicago as other picks I'm not chosing for survivor this week and Buffalo and Washington.
A ton of matchups to love but week 2 is the farthest I've ever made it in survivor. I've only ever tried twice.
(Somebody has to be 0-2. Denver-at Jacksonville. What scares me? Trevor Lawrence. but does Denver have a pass defense? ( I don't know? traditionally, ya? is there pass D as bad as the titans?, I think i'll be ok.)
(Urban Meyer gave up 10 points in the last 60+ seconds of the first half, with an 11 second off. drive. to the Texans,...) This is like a free sample. hmm.

That great to know. In more ways than one.

Phew I made it, sadly ( I picked KC)

9-6 week one. TNF had Washington tonight but not sure it's written.

hhmmmm Should I go with Jacksonville this week?

By all means!

Broncos beat the Jaguars 23-13 I survived,
Houstonweek 1
Denver week 2. I had never made it to week 3 in survivor before on my 2-3 previous tries.

Pretty sure that I owe Greg Joseph a beer. Cardinals were my survivor pick. They definitely had me sweating it out.

Bro, I went Browns this week thinking it was a sure bet... First half I was losing my mind at how bad we played.

Me too lol. We survived!

A bunch of us went Browns.

9 players still in right now, and two folks picked GB for tonight so we will still have between 9 and 11 people left in week 3.

Next week is a little tougher, but I think Baltimore in Detroit is an easy bet

But Baltimore is a good team, why would I want to waste a one chance to chose a good team like Baltimore, and not be able to chose them later.
I wouldn't think I'd bet on a team to go 0-3, winless teams try harder, so I wouldn't think to pick jacksonvilles opponent again, but, if you listen to one podcast, any interviews, of Jacksonville coach, it's clear-ish, he doesn't underst- there is a lot going on around him, he's in over his, not sure which move, I don't think he's seen this before.
And I tried to look, over the summer, (there has to be some positive,?) (They don't have a lot, I think) I think Jacksonville has 3 things going for it,
No defense, No pass protection, and No running game. (that's aside from coaching that doesn't know where to turn.) It's going to take another train wreck to lose to this train wreck.
Now. I really, don't agree with relying on kyler murray to not, have the sometimes day of 5 turnovers, but, I'm leaning on taking the Cardinals because they are jacksonvilles opponent because,
Jacksonville has depth at suckage. a lot of depth, right now, and one of the things that could have gotten in the way, Travis Eteinne, is out for the season.
I think, worst case, Jacksonville makes it close but if Ariz. wants this game at all, they'll be able to, and I think it's still early enough to bet Ariz wants to win. Have to wait until Monday plays out, who knows 39 players could get injured on one team on Monday Night Football and that would make you want to change your survivor pick.
leaning towards Arizona. Go listen to a Jaguars podcast and tell me they are ready to win a football game? (nosedive)

Arizona Cardinals my survivor pick for week 3. week 3 games, italicize my winners picks.

Thursday,
Carolina at Houston, :changed at last min.
LA Chargers at KC Chiefs
AZ Cardinals at Jacksonville
Bears at Browns Browns to win
Wash. F.T. at Buffalo
Colts at Titans
Saints at Patriots
Falcons at NY Giants. (can't believe I'm picking D.Jones.)
Cincinnat at Pittsburgh
Ravens at Lions
Ny Jets at Broncos
Dolphins at L.V. Raiders
Buccaneers at LA Rams
Seahawks at Vikings (Why am I picking the Vikings)
Packers at 49ers (Why am I picking the 9ers? )
Eagles at Cowboys

You last week, me this week.
I survived survivor to week 4, never past week 2 before.
Houston week 1
Denver week 2
Arizona week 3 all against the jaguars.

10-5 so far week 3, with MNF to go, 11 possible picking the Cowboys.

I got 11-4 for week 3 in my picks. 9-6 week one, did not get picks in in week 2, and 11-4 week 3. But I did get my survivor correct. (That's ok, I've picked enough 7-6 weeks, even worse pick weeks to not get excited unless I really get a 14-2 or something.
Week 3 Blowouts,
Week #3 only happens one time every NFL year and week 3 blowout winners are a big deal.
How good is Denver? WOW! Same, How good is Buffalo? WOW!
Week #3 Blow out wins watch: 2 teams had margins of victory greater than 20 points in week 3.

The Denver Broncos won by a 26 point margin and shut out the jets holding them to ZERO POINTS! the biggest margin of victory on the week with 26! ding, ding, winner!

The, Buffalo Bills, beat Washington by 22 points.

( You can write both the Bills and Broncos into a playoff berth based on HISTORICALLY, this week 3 blowout margin.) Take it to the bank.

The Browns and Cowboys, Both achieved 20 point margins of victory in their week 3 wins.
Next closest were the
Saints with 15 point margin and then
Bengals with a 14 point margin and
the Vikings 13 point margin occurred in their home opener, which cancels any significance.

Anyone else take Cincy in the survivor pool tonight? I did

I seriously considered it but went with the Titans.

Felt like a trap game. I took Tampa over the Patriots.

I've got Buffalo in survivor but no internet access all day today, so, wanted to get it in, took Cincy in the pick ems, but, wished all game for the jags to pull it out, because they deservere:? Cincy deserves to be 2-2. Plus the Jags played Defense,
Browns can't play defense on the road.
You have to have defense on the road, to win road games in the NFL, last nights check, last 11 road games for Browns averaged giving up 29.09 points.

My week 4 picks with a + mark by the winner because italicizing is too much work
Jacksonville at +Bengals
Lions at +Bears, (shoulda been my survivor, but going buffalo.
+Titans at Jets
Colts at +Dolphins
Browns at +Vikings, (head not heart )
+Washington at Falcons
Houston at +Buffalo
Ny Giants at +New Orleans, (Orleans big)
xxChiefs at +Eagles - changed at last minute, (what is wrong with me.)
Panthers at +Cowboys
xxSeahawks at +Forty-Niners changed this one too
+Arizona at LA Rams
+Steelers at Packers, (changed that one, I'm screwed picking all road team, brain is stupid)
+Ravens at Broncos, (rats 15-1 baby long as the pword is healthy)
+Tampa Bay at New England, (sorry Bellichic can't help rookie Qb woes.)
xxLV Raiders at +LA Chargers, changed that one too. Ouch, Big risk, big jeopardy week for picks. week 4.

Buffalo as survivor with the largest spread 17+ in NfL for a while, and that is SCARY, those are always meant to lure suckers, But, Buffalo has the D, and
final lynchpin, Houstons kicker was injured. Part of me says, Bears, are a better, but Buffalo is it!

Whew, wanted Jax to win, but sweated out the survivor win.

I was tempted to take Cincy … wish I had

All 3 pickers on the show picked the Lions, I pick the Bears and I think it's not even going to be close, so.
What do folks think of the Lions at Bears game?

I'm prepared to explain why.

Survived survivor one more week Buffalo won 40-0 over the Texans.
Houston wk 1
Denver wk2
Arizona wk 3
Buffalo wk 4

Thank God I changed my pick... originally was thinking this could be a good week to use Detroit with Fields starting again for Chicago... glad I switched to Buffalo...

Man, had to sweat it out again this week. Saved by another missed field goal.

I think Y'all should pick Houston to win this week.

I watched appx 5 plays of the Buffalo/Houston game and that was 5 too many

Cant use Houston as a survivor pick already did. I'll pick The Vikings.
Rams at +Seahawks
+Jets at Falcons
+Patriots at Texans
+Denver at Pittsburgh
Detroit at +Minnesota
+Green Bay at Cincinnati
Miami at +Tampa Bay
+Saints at Washington
Philadelphia at + Carolina, ( game helps the Browns if Carolina wins.
+Tennessee at Jacsonville
Chicago at +Las Vegas
+Browns at Chargers
NY Giants at +Dallas
Forty-Niners at +Arizona

+Buffalo at Kansas City
Colts at +Ravens.

Going with games I want to see happen more than I think will happen this week.

Forgot I picked the Chargers. Wish i woulda lost

Survived survivor one more week the Vikings beat Detroit 19-17.
Texans wk 1
Broncos wk2
Cardinals wk 3
Bills wk 4
Vikings wk 5 Not feeling excitement this week.

SO, IT'S YOUR FAULT! WAIT UNTIL BROWNS FFANS REALIZE!

It's all his fault.... well his and the refs. But that's it he is never allowed to pick against the Browns again.


Never mind that I took the Charger - .5 points

I'm picking, Tampa bay, Jacksonville, Baltimore, Carolina, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Rams as my survivor pick,
Kansas City, Cleveland, LV Raiders, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo to win this week. probably the ultimo week.

Raiders just lost their head coach bro.

11 right, 3 wrong this week, I think. missed on Buffalo Chicago and Carolina as they lost to the titans, pack and Vikings, iirc. Anyway didn't think I'd last so long in survivor but again did, as The Rams won.

oops 10-4 not 11-3 last week. will pick this week.
broncos at Browns, browns to win

Chiefs to win, at titans
Washington at packers, pack to win
falcons at dolphins, dolphins to win
panthers to win at giants
bengals to lose at the Ravens
Jets at Patriots, patriots to win and my survivor pick.
lions to lose to at rams
Eagles at raiders, raiders to win
Bears at buccaneers?? bears to win, Go bears, "bear down" lol
Texans at cardinals? cards to win
colts at 49ers, 49ers to win
saints at seahawks, saints to win.

It's a little harder to pick with the point spread. I'll use last night as an example. I thought our Browns "could win". But the point spread had the Browns as three and a half point favorites. So the question then becomes can the Browns win by four points or more? I felt that if we did win the margin would be very close. So I took Denver and the points. As luck would have it the game ended up with the perfect scenario. The Browns won but I still picked the game correctly. But when picking with the points many games are decided by just a few points.

Week 8 survivor chiefs over Giants, if I lose this one, oh well. Chiefs for my survivor pick.
pack at cardinals, Cards
bengals at jets, jets
titans at colts, colts

rams at t exans, rams
dolphins at bills, bills
steelers at browns, browns
49ers at bears, bears
patriots at la chargers, chargers
jaguars at seahawks, Jaguars
Washington at Denver, Denver
giants at Chiefs, chiefs. thisll probably be the week.

ONe gme I can't see. ravens and raiders have a bye,
give me the buccaneers to win, if they're playing.
Panthers at falcons, gimme the falcons.

I picked Cincy … I shoulda known better

four of us picked Cincy.

lol, I'm worried about KC losing to the Gnats after seeing some of yesterday's games.

I almost picked cincy, it was obvious, but historically they have trouble with the jets, still woulda been my 2. Never thought I'd get past week 4, this is scary, ehh it's just a game. week 9.
Jets at Colts, (colts, to win, 3rd pic)
Raiders at Giants, (raiders, to win, 4th.)
Falcons at Saints, (Saints my survivor pick this week) a lot of saints fans I met the last few years.
Bills at Jaguars, ( Bills 90... if you kick 13 you'll miss one extra point), and the Jags, 6, 2 FGs vs that Bills D.

Browns at Bengals, Bengals, (look it's my head not my heart in picks, but, I want the Browns to win, but Qb, and ... rookie getting 200 yards receiving days? and the Browns 9 new starters on defense, oh my, still, This could be a Browns win! but I'm picking the loser bungles.
Broncos at Cowboys, Cowboys to win, 2nd)
Texans at Dolphins, Texans to win

Vikings at Ravens, Ravens to win, However!!! This could be one of those bumps in the 15-1 road, this could go either way.
Patriots at Panthers, Patriots to win, I don't follow either closely
Chargers at Eagles, Chargers, this was almost my pick at first glance, but isn't
Cardinals at 49ers, 49ers and I don't know why, but like the bengls jets, ... the cards just historically don't do well vs the 9ers.

Packers at Chiefs, Chiefs to win, look, I think the packers don't try in a lot of games, esp. vs. the afc, esp. since they still get in the playoffs either way.
Titans at Rams, I'm taking the rams, the rams are titan kryptonite always have been
Bears at Steelers, taking the Steelers because, you know, they'd never let it go easy for the Browns.

(If the Browns were in another division they may win 6 more playoff games a decade. )

It was a tricky pick. KC has been playing like crap. But they have a lot of talent. So at some point I figured I would have to use them as my pick. Their upcoming schedule is brutal so I thought that this would be the best time to pick them. I in the pickems I took the Giants and the points.

Cincy -2.5 seems like such an easy pick

At half time the Ravens are down. They are my pick in the survival pool this week. I hope I get put out.

The Falcons beat the Saints 27-25. My survivor year is done.

This week killed me

Sadly my pick this week are the Steelers. At least I made it until Monday night. I would be happier to be out of the survivor pool than see the Steelers win.

I agree.

Apparently a tie counts as surviving. I suppose a tie to a winless team is as good as I could expect when I was running out of good/winning teams to pick and found myself choosing the Steelers.

Yeah, I had no idea how a tie would work out. It appears you're not picking a team to win. You're picking a team not to lose. At least now we know.

Do two ties count as being eliminated. According to the NFL a tie is considered 1/2 half win and 1/2 loss for both teams.

It's really weird when Cordarrelle Patterson's status is the primary reason you make a survival pick, but it worked.

Forgot my Thanksgiving Day picks! smh

More weird than that Cordarelle is pronounced (kor Dair OH).

Knocked out by the Freddie Kitchens led Giants' offense. Bleh. Didn't help that the Eagles only scored 7.

We're down to 2.

Last two left, Pit and I both took Minnesota over Detroit and as of right now, we are both losing. Either way, this goes on another week, but if Detroit wins, we both deserve to lose.

I survived by a thin margin yesterday. NYJ tried to put it on Miami.

I'm hoping I lose today. It was hard not to pick the Raiders when we have over 20 players on the covid list and are starting our third string QB. I would much rather lose the pool than to be right.

Yep, I saw you bet against the good guys. Probably a smart move.

Pit and 'Peen... both taking one for the team. That's dedication, Holmes.

Congrats on the win OCD. It was a long, hard fought battle at the end between the two of us but you outlasted me.

Thanks Pit. I won the first bit last year too. It ended in like 5 weeks or something, can't recall. Then it was restarted.

This longer win, and beating you in the end, just feels right.

I can't say I blame you. It would have felt the same way if I would have won.

Congrats to CaptCleveland on his week 17 victory!

Looks like Arch pretty much has this locked, heading into the final week with a seven game lead.

dnadawg was within striking distance but failed to make his picks this week... hope everything is okay on his end.
