While the Eagles should not have lost that game, the benching of DeSean Jackson completely changed their offense. It made them more susceptible to an upset, which to the dismay of many Surival owners, actually happened.

Everyone in my own group had Eaglrs, so we're continuing the pool.

For the upcoming week 11, I only have a few minutes to submit this article, but I'll use the old saying "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". I'm picking SF over the Cardinals.

Alright, halfway there!  Onto Week 9, and I’ll provide a little more detail on the prior weeks.

Week 1: Patriots 38, Dolphins 24- Week 2: Steelers 24, Seahawks 0- Week 3: Chargers 20, Chiefs 17- Week 4: Packers 49, Broncos 23- Week 5: Saints 30, Panthers 27- Week 6: Raiders 24, Browns 17- Week 7: Cowboys 34, Rams 7- Week 8: Ravens 30, Cardinals 27, Texans 30, Browns 12.

Well, the Miami Dolphins got their first win at the expense of KC takers.  In last week's article I warned against that, so hopefully you're still alive in your survival pool.

Going forward, I’m going to pick 2 teams, one to continue my own survival pool, and another to start after the "Giant" debalc in Week 5.

Philadelphia Eagles:  (ESPN 31% / Yahoo 55%) – The Eagles are in must-win territory now, if they want a chance at the playoffs.  The schedule only gets tougher from here on out, so they have to take advantage this week (now or never).  While they are 3-5, they have lost to quality teams, but have handled the weak teams pretty well.  It’s a slightly short week coming off of MNF with the Bears, but the Eagles should prove to be the superior birds in this upcoming matchup with Kevin Kolb out and Beanie Wells banged up.

The Rams beat the Saints?  Really?  I honestly didn’t see that coming.  I do try to avoid the road team whenever possible, but I absolutely did not see that coming.  The Ravens/Giants also survived scares, but they held on.  I was distinctly afraid that Cardinals were going to beat the Ravens, but a win is a win.  I’m also glad the Ravens, and their inconsistent offense are out of the way on my teams to pick in Survival.

Going forward, I’m going to pick 2 teams, one to continue my own survival pool, and another one following the “Giant” debacle in Week 5.
