    I've never played in survivor league before. So I pick a team that will win every week and can't repeat, right?

    Yup... And you can't pick the same team more than 1 time in a season.

    I just pick one team each week though, right? Not all 16 games every week?

    The key with survivor leagues is to not get cute early on and try and outsmart yourself. Just play the obvious teams and outlast the field--only make the tough decisions when you run out of gimmies and have to. These things usually end by Week 9 or 10 anyways.

    For instance, aside from picking Philly over Jax, Chicago over Buffalo is the second biggest lock of the week. Proof is in our 30 (at least)-man survival pool, where the Bears are the 2nd most popular pick this week.

    Not until the deadline... which I think I set at 5 minutes before 1st game of week. Remember Thursday night games.

    So, a lot of people will be eliminated EARLY.

    I'll side bet you $500 that not only does Chicago win, but cover as well (-6.5).
