In a week where five of the top six favorites won outright, that should mean there was not too much carnage in survivor pools. The Detroit Lions (-230) were the only one of the top six favorites who did lose. Their defeat should be used to remind survivor pool contestants to always check injury reports before making selections, as many that were willing to choose Detroit would have likely backed off them after learning that D’Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown would be ruled out.
As ESPN Stats & Info pointed out on Twitter, there has been tremendous parity around the NFL this year. That is great for the league but very dangerous and usually not ideal for survivor pools.
15 NFL teams, including the two who played on Monday Night Football last night, have started 2-2. That ties 2017 for the most 2-2 teams in a single season in NFL history. pic.twitter.com/2tIXzS91DG
