ROTB Survival Pick'em: Week 2

PrintWeek two is official and there's even more separation in the standings. It's nearly split even, with a little more members still alive. There weren't a ton of surprises after this week, but the main killer was the Packers loss to the Bengals. That game alone eliminated 7 members, two regulars as well(sorry Hawk and AJ). While last week's games were pretty tough to call, this week's features some easy match ups. Unfortunately, Washington's been eliminated from a lot of peoples choices after 14 members picked them to beat the Rams.
If you're new to the site or have recently just noticed this segment, it's a Survival pick'em league. You pick a team each week to win, but you only pick one, and you can't pick that team again for the season. If that team loses when you pick them, you are dead. Whoever lasts the longest wins. And if you haven't started yet, you can jump in anytime. Here's more detailed info.
RIP Hawk and AJ.

I tried to think of a more detailed table but this works the best(easiest) for me. It's pretty obvious but you can see how many weeks you've picked so far in parenthesis next to your name. I'll separate each group with a space also.

I'll go with Dallas this week.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.
Texans
I don’t feel good about this one, but you need to take a few risks to go deep in a survival pool.
Baltimore
How could you not go with them?
Hey, hey, hey hey hey, watch the language, ok? I have a family.
Revenge of the Birds
Actually...
If I can, I’d like to change my pick to the Ravens. I wanted to avoid them since they are likely to be the most popular pick this week, but the more I think about it the more impossible it seems for them to lose that game.
Again, that’s the Ravens for me this week, not Eagles
A lot of blood woulda been spilled if the Rams pulled off that close one xD
I like to live dangerously (week 3)… Oakland Raiders
My gut says this is the week to pick the Lions, but...
Giants.
Since everybody else is taking their safe picks. (I’ll pick the Ravens up when they get the Browns the second time around =P)
Winner:
The Saints
Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!
Houston
Risky but… we saw how much the Jaguars suck last week
My dream is buried in the second page of a forum...
Oh well, I'll soon get over it... And try to fulfill it by myself...
can i change that to houston? i want to save steelers for when TP gets back?
SO MY PICK IS HOUSTON….hopefully
Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
Detroit
If there was ever a time to pick them, now is the time. Zorn is officially on the chopping block after this loss.
Life's too short. Be a fan. Orlando Magic, Arizona Cardinals,Tampa Bay Rays and of course "the U"! What a winning combo.
