SURVIVOR PICK
Each week I’ll offer up my “playing it safe” and my “out on the limb” pick for your elimination pool:
Playing it safe – Patriots
The Bills shocked the Vikings last week in Minnesota. The Packers will not be sleeping here. Even with a hobbled Aaron Rodgers expect Green Bay to breeze past the Bills at Lambeu Field.
Out on a limb – Ravens
I’m never a fan of taking road teams early, but this one gets a pass. The Titans record suggests good things, but don’t be fooled. Carson Wentz is back and the defending Super Bowl champs will be too much for a lackluster Tennessee offense to keep pace with.
Season Record: Playing it safe (3-1); Out on Limb (1-3).
