Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 6

Footballguys Staff's Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 6 Footballguys Staff Published 10/14/2021

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

  • People marked with an "X" missed the pick deadline that week and have been eliminated.
  • One person had to drop out due to time constraints and has been removed

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!
