Survivor Advice needed (playoffs)

[CoolBreeze22]

1500+ Entrants, 80 people remain. Normal survivor rules for the regular season except you can use any team as many times as you'd like (i.e. you could use the Patriots every week during the regular season).

During the playoffs each game is treated as an individual week so you must select every single playoff game until there is a winner. I have 5 remaining entries. I must select all 4 playoff games this weekend with each individual entry. Just wanted to get some opinions on how you would play such a situation.

For example I could go....

3 entries Houston-Seattle-Pittsburgh-Greenbay

1 entry Oakland-Seattle-Pittsburgh-New York

1 entry Houston-Seattle-Miami-GreenBay

so basically any combination of the 4 remaining playoff games this week.

Just wanted to get some thoughts on how you would play such a situation(25k+ for first). Thanks.

That's actually a fascinating question. Never seen a format like that before.

Is there any payout besides the 25k to first?

80 is 75 + your 5?

It's winner take all, I have 5 entries remaining so there are 75 entries belonging to the rest of the field.

Looks good but what if oak sea pit gb are the 4 winners?

And I forgot to say good luck, hope you take it all home.

Good chance you will need to go 11-0 to win this thing. Given that, it is a bit early to start hedging off teams IMO. You only have 1/16th of the field and the next rd of the playoffs is going to have a lot of competitive games if Seattle and Pittsburgh win.

I'd take a position on Houston and just go them all 5 teams, then same for Sea/Pitt. Then I'd see how many teams are left and decide what to do on GB/NYG from there.

But I wouldn't just give up a team or two on hedging this early.
