Surviving Week 2

Paywall

Last week I felt like a million sats after picking the Eagles on Thursday night. Not that it was a particularly good pick — if CeeDee Lamb makes a couple plays, I might have gotten bounced — but I was through to Week 2, while all the rest of the chumps had to sweat it on Sunday.

With tall the sub-TD favorites going, I was licking my chops like a rabid buzzard jonesing to pick apart some carcasses. But it was not to be — every single 70/30 play and lower, the Cardinals, Bengals, Redskins, Broncos, Jaguars and even Steelers all made it through. So it’s back to Square 1. Because Survivor is not really about surviving per se, but surviving when everyone else dies.
