I've used Seattle already, so not a consideration for me.

Well, N.O. DID have the expected letdown, but it doesn't seem to matter with them. So only folks who ignored the #1 rule in these contests, and used GB ON THE ROAD got eliminated.
This week is easy for me. 50% of the people will be on Minny over Det. Another 20% will be on NO ON THE ROAD over SL. I'll be avoiding those 2, and hope 1 of them goes down. Both NO and Minny are in the dangerous sitaution of having their divisions virtually clinched, and are subject to a clinker at any time. NO already has had some, but it doesn't seem to matter with them. It will one week. Other considerations are Ariz over Seattle(not for me), Balt AT Cleve(Obviously not for me). So I'm left with Jets hosting Jags or Miami hosting TB. I'm going with Miami, because TB is alot worse than Jax, and I think Miami is slightly better than the Jets.

Escaped with a lucky win.
Found out the pools I'm in are only regular season pools, so no need to save playoff teams. If I still was saving teams, would go with Jax over Buff. But since everyone in my main pool has used Minny but me, I'm going with Minny over what has to be a very deflated Seattle team, and hope Minny doesn't have their letdown this week. Hopefully some people who can't take Minny will get knocked off with Dallas, Jax, Pitt on Road, Cards on Road, Bengals on Road, or Saints on Road.

Week 11 Jax, NO, Minn, Cincy available. Any suggestion??

Leaning toward Jax to save Minn.

If your pool goes into the playoffs, definitely Jax, and save Minny. If only through regular season, Minny. DON'T use road team unless you absolutely have to, and you don't have to this week.

I hear you on the road teams....been my strategy to stay away from them.

May just go with Minny....last two weeks have been scares (Seattle then Miami)....Would like to select one I don't have to sweat.
