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

Last Week's Results
Two more bite the dust!
The Jets not only shocked the Titans, but they also knocked Ryan Weisse and Clayton Gray out of this contest. It's always a risk to pick a road team in an Eliminator, and those two paid the price. Will the four people on New England suffer a similar fate this week?
This Week's Picks
With 12 still alive, two teams dominate the picks this week:
- Minnesota - 5 picks
- New England - 4 picks
The other three are on individual islands (which means there are three ways for the contest to end this week):
- Andrew Davenport with Tampa Bay
- James Brimacombe with Dallas
- Jeff Tefertiller with Baltimore
If one of those three has picked the only correct winner, they'll be champs.
Home vs. Road
- Home picks
- 4 teams (Minnesota, Tampa Bay Dallas, and Baltimore)
- 8 picks total
- Road picks
- 1 team (New England)
- 4 picks total
Good luck this weekend!
