Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 17

Footballguys Staff's Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 17 Footballguys Staff Published 12/30/2021

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

The contest that will not end won't end for another week. Both guys saved the Patriots and have a good matchup. But it won't matter.

Notes

  • People with a blank selected a losing team and have been eliminated.
  • 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

Good luck this weekend!
