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
Tons of in-game sweat last week as the Vikings, Patriots, and Ravens had to make either major or last-minute comebacks to get wins. Only Davenport and Brimacombe (on Tampa Bay and Dallas, respectively) had it easy.
But in the end, everyone picked a winner, and that's all that matters.
This Week's Picks
Out of 11 selections, only three teams were named:
- Indianapolis - 7 picks
- Kansas City - 2 picks
- LA Rams - 2 picks
With no one on an island, the contest definitely can't end this week. But it could get really interesting if the Colts fall to the Texans
Home vs. Road
- Home picks
- 1 team (Indianapolis)
- 7 picks total
- Road picks
- 2 teams (Chiefs and Rams)
- 4 picks total
Good luck this weekend!
