Survivor contests are fun, so I decided to share my picks and get any feedback on how anyone else is approaching this contest.
Although team strength can change throughout the season due to several factors, I have planned out every pick week by week.
Before I go forward, it is important to mention while planning I have determined that week 6 with the Colts, week 8 with the Chiefs, week 9 with the Patriots and week 11 with the Steelers need to be locked in according to my plan.
That being said, here is Week 1:
I had two choices left really after accounting for Pit, KC, Ind, and NE being off the board for me....those choices were Buff and Phi.
Eagles have a relatively easy schedule and have about 5 games this season with relatively weak opposition. Eagles are a team with some uncertainty and feel no rush to play them early.
Buffalo on the other hand really only have two great spots....week 1 vs the Jets and week 7 also vs the Jets. They also have Miami, but I think it is best to see what Miami turns out to be before planning wins for the Bills.
Since week 7 has 3 other teams that I have marked has having great match ups, (the Eagles again the Cowboys and the Saints) week 1 seems to be the spot to make them a play.
Week 1 Survivor Pick: Buffalo Bills
