NFL Survivor Pick'Em: FanHouse Island

The NFL FanHouse team is putting its predictions skills to the test with a little friendly survivor pick 'em league. Each week, every competitor will choose one NFL winner, keeping in mind that you can't pick the same team more than once during the year. But it's a dangerous game: Get one wrong, and you're out.

It's week 1 of the FanHouse Survivor League and one thing is clear: No one likes the Raiders. Or the Lions. Or the Chiefs.

So who's everyone taking on the NFL's opening weekend? Find out after the jump.

Josh Alper -- Ravens over Chiefs. Chiefs offensive line may actually be invisible.

Knox Bardeen -- Ravens over Chiefs. KC's defense can't hold back Flacco and with Cassel KC might score once, without him they could get blanked.

Will Brinson -- Bengals over Broncos. Why? Because a) I don't see myself getting another chance to use them and b) they're playing the 2009 Lions, a.k.a. the Broncos.

Chris Burke: Patriots over Buffalo. Don't like blowing through the Patriots in Week 1, but I also can't pass up a freebie. Buffalo stinks.

Bruce Ciskie -- Ravens over Chiefs. That's too tough an environment for a team that's in the midst of a major rebuild.

JJ Cooper -- Chargers over Raiders. Team turmoil may end up being a little better than everyone thinks, but it's hard to see them beating the Chargers.

Saints over Lions. For 5,070 reasons. One for each of Brees' passing yards last year, and another for the Lions' secondary.
--Tom Mantzouranis
Nancy Gay -- Chargers over Raiders. Do I doubt Oakland's ability to stop the run even with the MIA Richard Seymour?

David Goldberg -- Chargers over Raiders. Although the Chargers have found ways the last few years to lose games like this, especially early in the season.

Dan Graziano -- Ravens over Chiefs. Because the Chiefs O-line was one of the worst units I saw all summer, and Baltimore's defense will use it as chewing gum.

Michael Katz -- Saints over Lions. If I go down in week 1, at least the world will end with me.

Tom Mantzouranis -- Saints over Lions. For 5,070 reasons. One for each of Brees' passing yards last year, and another for the Lions' secondary.

Matt Snyder -- Saints over Lions. Because Brinson said the Lions are going to win and mess up everyone's survivor pool picks.

Stephanie Stradley -- Ravens over Kansas City. Probably not a bad thing to pick against any of the teams who just canned their offensive coordinators.

R.J. White -- Ravens over Chiefs. If Cassel plays, he won't be 100 percent. If he doesn't play, the Ravens could win 42-0.
