Survivor Pool Pick – Week 7 (2008) – Tampa Bay over Seattle?

Question:

I’m in a survivor pool and it’s down to 6 teams with $400 on the line.

The top games that I’m thinking about are:
1.) PIT – PIT -9.5 @ CIN
2.) TB – SEA @ TB – 10.5
3.) HOU – DET @ HOU – 9.5

Which game is the least likely to end up in an upset?

I don’t like the Pittsburgh Steelers they’re on the road, but they’re coming off of a bye week.

I don’t like Tampa Bay Buccaneers because if they go down early, they could have a hard time coming back. However, Seattle doesn’t have a quarterback.

I like the Texans because Detroit doesn’t have a QB, but Detroit almost pulled off the upset last week.

My weekly picks:

Week 1 – Patriots
Week 2 – Cardinals
Week 3 – Giants
Week 4 – Bills
Week 5 – Cowboys
Week 6 – Colts
Week 7 – Help Me decide

Which game would you pick?

Answer:

Take the New York Jets -3 over Oakland.  The Oakland Raiders are 3-10 at home when they’re facing a team outside the AFC West. This week Oakland is hosting the Jets and New York has covered four of their last five road games. The Jets are also 10-5 on the road when they are favored and facing a non-division opponent. New York is coming off of a 12-point win over the Browns while the Raiders just got crushed by 31 points against the Saints. That loss against the Saints saw Oakland getting outgained by over 200 yards and things could stay ugly for the Raiders.
