Nice work on week 1 everyone but we did have one player lose their game. @weareallsatoshi went down with the Vikings (life lesson-never trust the Vikings). He has until this week's pick deadline Sunday to execute the re-buy and make a pick if he so chooses.
I had intended on listing out every players restricted teams and eligible buy ins weekly, which I am tracking manually (yeah I am old school) on a survivor pool grid but I think it is easier to just tag everyone so they see the post. If someone tries to pick one of their restricted teams I will let them know.

⭐️ I'll pick the Lions :)
still need to work on my shit talking, lol
Go Lions
Bold. Seahawks had a bad week 1 and Lions had a good week 1 but in my opinion this game is closer than the line.
Just keep saying "lions" repeatedly that's shit whilst you're talking, so kinda counts 😜.
Maybe I should stay quiet after week 1, that was an abysmal performance by the Vikings.
Vikings can redeem themselves by beating the Beagles this week.
That's just not going to happen though is it.
Haha "someone" (impossible to know who) zapped ekzyis 1000 sats for picking the Lions.
Locked and loaded
Man it really sucks to be the only person who lost on week 1 lol
I'll pay the buy in for week 2.
My pick for week 2: Cowboys
ETA: I just sent 10,000 sats to nflsurvivor2023@stacker.news
Awesome. You're back in action. Pick locked and loaded.

Bills
Allen 4TD game after 4 Turnover game? Sounds about right.
At home against the Raiders? Maybe. I think the Raiders are okay, but the Bills will have a bounceback after that mess.
As bad of a game as Allen had, his receivers were breaking open-field tackles and he's obviously hard to bring down on the run. The Raiders have been consistently bad at tackling for the 40 years since the Soul Patrol disbanded.
I'm expecting Allen to have like 500 combined air and ground yards next week.
I'll take the Giants please @nflsurvivor2023
This was one the picks I was considering before Rodgers got hurt.
I feel like the jets D is good enough to hold the cowgirls at bay. And garret Wilson was still a stud toward the end of last season even with Zach Wilson as his QB. It feels like a trap. So imma wait to see just how bad they are without Rodgers, before plugging the shit outta anyone playing them lol.
I think Jets D can hold off Cowgirls but I don't see them forcing 4 turnovers again and I think the Cowboys D is better than the Bills D, plus it is in Dallas. I wouldn't be so sad with the re-buy in my back pocket to see the Cowgirls lose but I don't think it's happening.
Probably not. For every good move gang green make on D. Micah Parsons wants to remind them he's there.
Me too. The anti-Cardinals strategy is very tempting. Can the Cardinals lose more times in a row than the rest of us can pick winners? Probably.
Anti-cardinals / anti-Texans
Cardinals will not go 0-17 but they might go 2-15. I guess it just depends when those wins come.
Yeah, but they could go 0-13. Also, you'd have to pick someone else for half of the divisional games.
Giants "don't call it a" comeback game. Locked and loaded.
First!
Week 1: Jaguars
Week 2: Chargers
Bold choice
Gotta start with the bold choices, get the bad team wins first and save the good teams for challenging week/matchups. That's the strategy at least, the execution tends to be lacking mostly.
The Chargers have such a bad coach that unless they're playing a team plagued by injuries, I want nothing to do with them.
Agreed, they tend to cause heartburn for no reason. Titans didn't look great, so I am hoping to just get rid of the need to be use LAC later.
Fortune favors the brave
Chargers revenge game feels right and Tannehill looked like the worst QB not named Josh Allen in week 1, but it's the Chargers so who knows. Locked and loaded.
Joe burrow was worse
Testy testy. Both Joe and Josh will be just fine.
One of the picks I was considering until Rodgers getting hurt made the Cowgirls at home a no brainer.
I want to save Cowboys for a later week when choices may be come more difficult in theory. That's when you want the good/better teams available to choose from. If I get that far of course haha.
I hear ya but I am expecting Dak to get injured at some point.
2nd Buy In loading.... never bet on the chargers haha
Will they ever fix their defense? Probably not.
As a Packer fan, I don't think it's possible to fix a defense :)
Should I wait until next thread to post my re-buy, or can I do that now? What's easiest for you?
Whenever you like. Just let me know you sent and I will note it on my super high tech survivor pool tracking device (pen and paper).
Sent
Received
Despite the vile taste it leaves in my mouth: Cowboys
No faith in Zach attack. For shame.
i think my favorite part of this whole thing might be @grayruby shit talking himself from the survivor account
Come for the pool, stay for me trolling myself.
Worst part is I keep tipping that account when it insults me.
I might be using the Cowboys too early, but I don't want to waste the 49ers yet and none of the other favorites do it for me.
Week 2: Cowboys
Nah. Dak is going to get hurt at some point. He misses at least a few games every year.
That was part of my thinking and their defense should be able to devour the Jets offense. They have a pretty soft looking schedule, though.
Who knows what happens but I am circling week 5, when Cowboys come to SF as one of the potential games of the year. If both teams stay healthy and play well (it's NFL, big if) they will both probably be 4-0.
49ers are a better team than the Cowboys but their OLine is their biggest weakness and Cowboys DLine is their biggest strength so it could be a bad match up for them.
The 49ers real biggest weakness is QB injuries, which is a bad combo with that bad OLine.
That is a fact. Although maybe they are due for some luck on that front this year. Last year was such a disaster. Lance out for year, Jimmy G out for the year. Purdy and Johnson both hurt in NFC Championship game. I wouldn't say the OLine is bad, they do have Trent Williams but the right side is pretty suspect for sure. I am hoping they are going to use some of that cap space they freed up with the Bosa signing and the Williams and kittle restructures to beef up the line at the deadline but it's hard to find really good lineman and teams that have them don't want to part with them.
Fair warning, that's the same pick as GrayRuby and he almost got 7 people eliminated last week with the Commanders. Just saying. Locked and loaded.
In fairness to me, I did warn him about the great shame it would bring to his family if he lost his money on the Commanders.
They are already ashamed. Why do you think he spends so much time on SN talking to you guys?
⭐️ Broncos -3.5
I didn't expect anyone to pick the Broncos but I trust in Mallard. Locked in.
Never forget the anon who was called a troll for predicting the Lions beating the Chiefs in last week's thread
I’ll take the saints
Recap:
Week 1: Atlanta
Week 2: Saints
Playing the long game. I like it. Locked in.
Wumbo picks Lions to win for week 2
@tnuts420 I found you a new best friend. Locked in.
@tnuts420 and I will be crying in our beer tonight. What was I thinking picking the lions.
Yeah tough one. Stupid Seahawks.
i'm going giants this week as well
Yes join us. First you agree with me. Then one day bam! You wake up a Vikings fan.

You mean... not yet
Why not? Saquon is a bitconer. At least a fringe Bitcoiner. Locked and loaded.
well the 40-0 week 1 performance was my biggest worry. but you gotta burn the garbage teams early, and i don't see the cards hanging 40pts on anyone. plus hopefully the giants are pissed about getting their dicks kicked in week 1, and come out hungry
I was ready to punt on another season of all things football but I guess I should wait until actually being eliminated first. That being said I'm going with the Bills to bounce back at their home opener. If they lose my Sundays are free again and if they win I don't have to worry about Josh Allen turning the ball over 4x later in the season when it matters.
Bills looked more like the Spills last night but next week will return to form as the Thrills. Locked and loaded.
Weak save the jokes
Hello all! Glad to have made it to the next week! Last week was too close for comfort. Lol.
With that said, please lock in the Giants for me this week! 😎
The anti-Cardinal strategy in full force. Locked and loaded.
Yes sir! Lets see how long we can ride this wave. Lol.
Holy smokes!!! That was close! 😅😅😅 Lol
They all count as Ws
Bills
Nifty using every bit of the deadline. I like it. Locked in.

Wise choice. Locked in.
Week 1: Washington
Week 2: Giants
Dregs of the NFC East strategy. Locked in.
49ers please and thank you
Even when the Scams were good the 49ers dominated them. Let's not talk about the NFC championship game poor clock management and dropped INT though.
Early but unless Purdy gets hurt welcome to week 3. Locked and loaded.
