Survival Pool --- Week 1 Pick Help

[YayMike]

A little different then the weekly pick 'em thread. Didn't see a topic like this started...

Week 1 Lines and O/U, home team is bolded.

NY GIANTS 7 Carolina 41
Miami 3 BUFFALO 39
Atlanta 2 PITTSBURGH 37½
CHICAGO 6½ Detroit 43
NEW ENGLAND 4 Cincinnati 44½
TAMPA BAY 3 Cleveland 37
JACKSONVILLE 2½ Denver 40
Indianapolis 2 HOUSTON 47
TENNESSEE 6 Oakland 40½
Green Bay 3 PHILADELPHIA 47½
San Francisco 3 SEATTLE 37
Arizona 4 ST LOUIS 39½
Dallas 4 WASHINGTON 40
NY JETS 2½ Baltimore 36
San Diego 4 KANSAS CITY 45

Who ya got? I'm going with Tennesee. I think Tennessee should be able to hold off Oakland, but Oakland looked really good in pre-season. I don't trust Chicago over Detroit, and NYG defense looked like shit... I am pretty sure SD is going to beat us, but don't want to bet against them, you never know how week 1 will go..

Thoughts?

I made it to week 16 last year and forgot to make my pick by the deadline. Talk about FUUUU

I like Tampa Bay or San Fran. Those are the two teams I took in my 2 diff. survivor pools. Tampas offense should be ready vs a weak browns team. As far as the 49ers, I see their defense absolutely shutting down the seattle running game, and hasselbeck will throw a few picks as a result

I don't trust Tampa at all. SF is going to probably win that division, but in making picks for a Survivor League i try to stay away from divisional matchups just because crazy stuff can happen. The first week is always tough because you don't really know who is going to show up, and who is going to crap an egg.
