I got really lucky last week in the Last Fan Standing football pool. I had Green Bay and they were losing at the half-at home- to lowly Cincinnati, 21-7. But with QB Aaron Rodgers you're never out of a game. Maybe the boos from the Packer fans woke up the Pack players because they did pull out an overtime win. So I survived.
This week I had a few choices. Arizona, after losing at home last Monday night, needs to win on Sunday ( also a home game) vs San Francisco before flying to the East Coast to face the Eagles.
I actually thing the Giants will get their first win of the season at Tampa Bay. If I was picking the Eagles-Chargers game, I may have to think about taking Los Angeles. They are home, a desperate 0-3 team that can score. The Birds are coming off an emotional division win, going west. Philly has never been great against AFC teams.
Instead I'm picking Seattle to beat Indianapolis.
The Seahawks are the biggest favorite on the board this week- 12 1/2 points- and rightfully so. Tough to beat in Seattle, they are 1-2 and need a win to keep pace in NFC West. They play a Colts team that struggled in Indy vs. an awful Cleveland Browns squad. QB Andrew Luck is still out. No way can I see the Colts going into Seattle and knocking off the Seahawks.
I looked at the upcoming schedule and I can't see a better spot to play Seattle. So I'll use them now.
By the way, if I was picking the game with a point spread, I would take Seattle giving the points. I see them crushing the Colts, 38-10.
