Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 2

Footballguys Staff's Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 2 Footballguys Staff Published 09/16/2021

This has been a very popular feature, so this year Footballguys once again is presenting the Eliminator Pool Challenge, where staffers have to pick a team to win each week.

Just one? That sounds easy, but here is the catch – you can only pick the team you choose in a given week once all season long.

Many contests and pools out there get pretty big, so an Eliminator (or Survivor) Pool can go 18 weeks.

Here are the specifics:

  • It lasts until one person is alive
  • Pick one winner per week
  • If you are correct, you stay alive
  • If you are wrong, you are eliminated
  • If you miss a week, you are eliminated
  • You can only use each NFL team once
  • If all of the people still alive lose, those people come back the following week
  • When one person remains (this person is the champion), the game will restart for fun
