Everyone had the Packers last week and they came through.
As we head into Week 7, there are significantly fewer interesting favorites to target than there were last week.
We may have to get creative as we deal with some tougher matchups.
Only two teams are on bye this week in the Ravens, who are expected to get Lamar Jackson back in Week 8, and the Bills, who could use time off after two straight tough losses.
Below, we break down the ultimate strategy guide as we weed out the pretenders from the contenders in the world of Survivor pools and pick ’em leagues.

I’m generally pretty anti-firing the coach midseason, but Brian Callahan shouldn’t have survived his rookie year. New England now gets a crack at the worst roster in the NFL following a coaching change.
Interim coach Mike McCoy has been a head coach before with the Chargers and won a playoff game after taking over for Norv Turner in 2013.
But it’s not like McCoy was doing any better as their senior offensive assistant.
The Titans are rated No. 31 in DVOA, ahead of only the Bengals, and 32 in offensive DVOA.
New England is No. 11 in offensive DVOA, and I think that Drake Maye is a budding MVP candidate for years to come.
Cam Ward has looked anything but behind a below-average offensive line and a lack of weapons.
Ward is the lowest-rated quarterback in the NFL per Pro Football Focus, while Maye is No. 6.

Packers (-6.5) @ Cardinals
Over 50 percent of Circa entries had the Packers, so if you’re part of the minority that is holding Green Bay close to the chest then you’re looking at a tasty week to give them a go.
Arizona is potentially without Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. this week. Should those two guys miss Week 7, this spread could move to double digits.
There’s plenty of time between now and then, but the Packers are a very interesting team to hitch your wagon to this week.
Just 11 more weeks until glory; saddle up.
