Week 3 Free NFL game picks for your survival pool

The Super-Computer is learning and evolving!  It correctly chose 7 out of 10 winners last week!  It was so excited it tossed down one of it’s micro-chips before it crossed the goal line.

 With it’s data-based computations, the more we find out about the teams the better the picks.  So with that, I give you this week’s free NFL game picks for your last man standing pool:

1.  The New York Giants (composite score 14).  The Giants get top billing two weeks in a row.  The super computer does reside in NY, but the pick has more to do with the Giants week 3 opponents.  The Bengals have not shown much this year, and their inability to rush the QB bodes well for Eli.

2.  The Brady-less Patriots (composite score 17).  The Patriots are playing against a Miami defense that made Kurt Warner look like the old Ram’s MVP last week.

3.  Buffalo Bills (composite score 21).  This was a bit of a surprise, but the super computer knows what it is doing!  The Raiders looked better last week behind the running of Run DMC, but Buffalo held the stout running game of the Jaguars to under 100 yards, so they should be able to handle them.

4.  Seattle (composite score 33).  They are playing the Rams.  ‘Nuff said.

5.  Titans (composite score 34).  The Titans are playing against a Texan’s team that struggles to rush the passer, and that is exactly what Kerry Collins needs to be successful.

6.  Da’ Bears (composite score 38).  Both teams can guard against the run.  Which team can pass better?  The computer takes the Bears “D” over Tampa’s “O”.

7.  Atlanta (composite score 38).  The Falcons are facing a Chief’s defense that gave up over 300 yards rushing to the Raiders last week.  Michael Turner should have a field day.

8.  Denver Broncos (composite score 40).  You gotta love those receivers, and they have to be emotionally up after that dramatic win last week, going for 2 to win it.  The Saints defense has a lot of injuries and won’t be able to keep up.

9.  San Diego (composite score 40).  You just get the feeling they are due after their first two losses in the closing seconds.  They are also playing the weakest team they have faced in the Jets.

10.  Indianapolis (composite score 42).  The loss of Sanders hurts the Colt’s secondary, but Trent Edwards had a good day against the Jaguars so Peyton should be fine.

 

So there is your NFL week 3 Picks for your Suicide pool, last man standing pool, loser pool or whatever pool you are playing.  Have fun and good luck.

Week 2 Free NFL game picks for your survival pool

Well, it was a wild first week in the NFL as we all know.  That being said, the super computer that rivals the CERN atom-smasher was still able to pick 6 out of 10 correctly for week 1.  In order to improve the results going into week 2, we have added 6 more expert source picks as well as the latest Vegas line and the percentages of picks from two major pools to the algorithm.  So, it is with great optimism that I give you your NFL week 2 top 10 picks for Last Man Standing and Survival pools.

The Free NFL Picks Super Computer

1.  The New York Football Giants (composite score 11)-   One of the lowest composite scores yet (just like golf, low is good).  They looked good in week 1, but more importantly the Rams looked Baaaddd.

2.  Pittsburgh Steelers (composite score 21)- The Cowboys racked up over 500 yards and three rushing TD’s against the Browns in week 1.

3. Seattle (composite score 27)- It would be good to use this pick early, because the 49’ers may be one of the only teams we will be this confident the Seahawks will beat after losing to Buffalo last week.

4. Green Bay (composite score 39)- The packers looked composed under Aaron Rodgers while the Lions looked like they wanted to kill each other on the sidelines.

5. New Orleans (composite score 40)- This one may be close, but put your faith in the super-computer.  Drew Brees throwing for 343 yards in week 1 against Tampa should help ease your concerns.

6. Arizona (composite score 42)- Again, good time to use up the Cardinals as they only play the Dolphins once this year.

7. Kansas City (composite score 43)- They should have beaten the Patriots last week.  They will beat the Raiders this week.

8. Dallas (composite score 44)- Both teams looked imposing week 1, but Dallas gets back their starting corner Terence Newman this week and Philly is still missing some receivers.  That being said, you may want to save the Cowboys for later as they look like the top of the heap this year.

9. Tampa Bay (composite score 45)- Tampa hung right with a talented New Orleans team last week, Atlanta shouldn’t be a problem for the talented Bucs against a rookie QB.

10. Indianapolis (composite score 48)- Peyton looked a little rusty but he and Marvin were connecting.  Minnesota’s QB situation should make you feel good about this pick.

So there is your top ten picks for your Last Man Standing or Survival pools.  We wish you luck and want to remind you that the earth is in no danger from the black holes created by the incredible fusion that it takes to compute all of this data into 10 handy NFL pool picks every week.  It also works, for Knockout pools, loser pools, survivor pools, last man standing pools and suicide pools.

This Weeks Last Man Standing Free NFL Game Picks

The first thing that I want to say is that I am not an odds maker, bookie, expert or gambler.  I am in a couple pools strictly for the fun of competing in them.  To this end, I rely on the opinions of true experts in the field, and compile those opinions into rankings.  The opinions of over 20 of the top experts in the field go into the rating system that you see here.

Top 10 Picks for Last man standing/Survival pools for NFL games:

Week 1 of NFL 2008 Season:

1.  Patriots (suprised?  Brady, no Brady, who cares?)

2. Chargers (Too talented for the Panthers, just healthy enough)

3. Eagles (The only way for the Rams to stop Kevin Westbrook is to nominate him for GOP VP, oops already taken)

4. Colts (If Peyton was health they rank higher.  Chicago has a chance if they can figure out how to start Devin Hester at 5 positions at once)

5. Saints (They are looking to rebound and have all the tools)

6. Giants (Redskins had a major overhaul, Giants lost some D-line)

7. Steelers (Houston has problems with the running game and defense, two bad problems to have)

8. Cowboys (Cowboys improved their roster all around, too much O for the Browns to keep up)

9. Jaguars (This one could be closer than people think, Jags O-line needs to play well)

10. Bengals (Joe Flacco will be the Raven’s QB, Carson Palmer will be the Bengal’s QB)

 

So there you go, my highly scientific and reliable method that takes the hard work and expertise of many experts in the field and ranks teams for our football pool glory.  Since I can’t come up with good picks myself, I take the consensus picks from the smartest people on the subject.  Original no, effective….we’ll have to see.
