Survivor Pool: Week 2 Preview
Well folks, Week 1 is officially in the books, and the chaos has already started. We lost a handful of brave souls who thought the Patriots, Bears, Chiefs, or Dolphins were “safe.” Lesson learned: nothing is safe in Survivor, not even the stuff you thought you could bet your retirement on.The good news? Over 95% of the pool survived the opening weekend, which means the cabbage is still stacked high and the room is still crowded. But don’t get too comfortable — Week 2 is where people start overthinking and talking themselves into “value picks.” That’s code for “the exact game where the Jets score 13 defensive touchdowns and end your season.”
The Big Questions Heading Into Week 2
- The Cowboys vs Giants Conundrum: Dallas fans are already measuring for their playoff banners, and Giants fans are already writing strongly worded letters to their front office. Do you risk the Cowboys early or save them for when you really need them? Don't rely on them.... EVER
- The Dolphins Bounce-Back: Miami got embarrassed in Week 1. Survivor players are either doubling down on a rebound or staying as far away as possible. This could be the week they either win by 20 or lose by 40.
- The Russell Wilson Experience: Giants are technically still rolling him out there. Which means Survivor players should not. Unless you enjoy stress, ulcers, and explaining to your group chat why you went down with “Let’s Ride 2.0.”
- The Browns and Ravens Spread: Vegas has this as a wide gap, but these two usually play closer than your cousin’s fantasy league trades. Survivor wisdom says beware of division matchups.
- Panthers.......: Do they go 0-all on the season????
Survivor Pool Comedy Forecast
- At least one person is going to pick the biggest favorite and still lose, and the rest of us will laugh, cry, or both.
- Somebody is going to talk themselves into “this is the week the Commanders finally prove it” — and we will hold a small vigil when it backfires.
- A kicker will ruin somebody’s life this week. Count on it.
Final Word
The goal in Survivor isn’t to look smart. The goal is to look alive next Tuesday when the email hits your inbox. Don’t overthink it, don’t get cute, and for the love of Vince Lombardi, don’t bet your cabbage on a division rivalry.AND PLEASE for the love of God don't put all your eggs in one basket, unless you just have one egg and in that case pick a damn good basket that doesn't rhyme with owboys
Survive and advance. That’s all that matters.
