I can’t open the Survivor Picks. The message reads “ Sorry, unable to open the file at this time.

“Much like the Bills, the Bengals will also be at home in Week 1 against one of the league’s least-efficient offenses from a season ago. Did the Patriots do anything to improve their offense during the offseason? Not really. While the team did add Drake Maye through the draft, he has looked like arguably the least promising quarterback prospect of any that were drafted in the first-round this year. Furthermore, their defense lost one of their best players from a season ago, Matt Judon.

The Bengals may be without Ja’Marr Chase this week as he and the team discuss a potential contract extension. So long as Joe Burrow is healthy though, this Cincinnati offense should be capable of scoring more points than the lowly Patriots.”

Good Morning,

NEP beat the CIN. Which is awesome that you picked it in your confidence post, but you should have updated your survival pool as well. I did lower my confidence based on your past picking to 8 points giving me 2nd place and a chance to win my pool. Great picking. However, maybe you should consider not picking CIN in the survivor if you put 16 on the opposing team in your confidence section. Thoughts?

Best,
Carl

By the way, I went with Seattle. Thanks.
