"Footballguys is the best premium
fantasy football only site on the planet."

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
Week 7 marked the third week in a row where no one picked a losing team. That's a pretty good streak with this many still alive. As the weeks roll on -- and the pool of good teams still available for people to select dwindles -- the action will heat up. Does that start this week?
This Week's Picks
Out of 11 selections, five teams were named:
- Cincinnati - 4 picks
- LAR Rams - 3 picks
- Buffalo - 2 picks
- Atlanta - 1 pick
- LA Chargers - 1 pick
With two staffers (Bonnema on the Falcons and Geary taking the Chargers) going solo, there's a chance the contest will end this week.
Home vs. Road
- Home picks
- 3 teams (Atlanta, Buffalo, and the Chargers)
- 4 picks total
- Road pick
- 2 teams (Cincinnati and the Rams)
- 7 picks total
Good luck this weekend!
