There are 5 people left in the pool - none have used Atlanta, Green Bay or Baltimore … up until last week I figured if I made it to Week 17 I would use Tampa Bay host Oakland as it seemed like a good matchup and the last eight people in the pool at the time had all already used the Bucs — but the Bucs have lost 4 in a row and look old and slow in defense - meanwhile Oakland beat red hot Houston last week … even if I lose I’m guaranteed to win 4X the cost of entry — but if I go with the team the other guys can’t pick and their picks get upset, I could win 28X the cost of entry. So my questions are:
How confident are you that Tampa Bay will beat Oakland in Florida?
If you would not take Tampa Bay - who would your best pick be?
Atlanta hosting St Louis ?
Greeb Bay hosting Detroit ?
Baltimore at Jacksonville ?
The complete list of 16 teams I have available to use are:
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Indians
Denver Broncos
Detroit Lions
Green Bay Packers
Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Kansas City Chiefs
Minnesota Vikings
Oakland Raiders
St Louis Rams
San Francisco 49ers
Seattle Seahawks
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Do you see a team you like better than Atlanta or Green Bay?
Thank you.
Disliking, I’m not sure who you were speaking to - and maybe I was mistaken about who is the home team between Baltimore and Jacksonville - but please don’t assume I am a gambling degenerate - I actually hardly ever gamble - I’ve never placed a bet with a bookie - I just play these office games from time-to-time …. here’s what you said:
First off I think you need to give up on betting. You have no clue what you are talking about. Jacksonville is at Baltimore and it’s the Cleveland BROWNS not INDIANS. And I think a safe bet to take would be Houston over Chicago. Chicago has been weak here lately and Houston has been blowing it up. Sure they lost this week to one of the worst teams in football but they will be at home and looking to go out with a bang. Make no mistakes take Houston.

Baltimore over Jax…the Ravens have not secured their playoff spot yet, and can do so with a win over the Jags.
How confident are you that Tampa Bay will beat Oakland in Florida? 80% chance Bucs win.
Atlanta hosting St Louis ? Probably 90% Atlanta wins
Greeb Bay hosting Detroit ? 95% GB
Baltimore at Jacksonville ? 85% Ravens
GB is probably most likely to win. They have detroit at home, and I can assure you they dont want to be the ONE team that loses to the Lions. Especially at home.
I’m not sure who the Cleveland Indians play on Sunday…
But Atlanta is the best bet. I don’t think Tampa is losing either, of course.
Atlanta…if they win they receive a first round bye. So they still have a lot to play for. I can’t see them losing to St.Louis at home! Good Luck! Peace.

I would certainly use Tampa Bay. Did you see how Jeff Garcia was bloodied up and still in the game? The Bucs were bad this week but they will not let the play offs and Raiders slip by without whipping it on. Bucs win this one easily unless their O line plays like Pittsburgh again..
I don’t think there’s anybody better off than those, but #3 is probabaly BAl against JAC. I’m not very confident AT ALL that TB will beat OAK. TB, as you said have looked beaten up lately. I’m pretty darn confident on ATL-STl. I’m extremely confident on GB-DET. Being a Lions fan, I’ve seen most of our games and we are absolutely horrendus.
TBB will probably beat Oakland. 85% sure.
