The GEM Presents: NFL Survivor Pick'em (2nd Ed.)

edited October 2008 in Debate and/or Discourse
These are the (Second Edition) rules:

Each week, you pick a team to win. If that team wins, you advance to the next week. If that team loses, you're out. Only THREE POSTERS can pick the same team, so if everyone has Green Bay over Detroit this week, only the first three who respond Green Bay get Green Bay. The fourth poster has to pick a different team to win, otherwise your pick won't be counted.

Moving through the weeks, you CANNOT pick the same team twice. So you feel good about Dallas over Philadelphia this week? Well that's the LAST time you'll be able to pick Dallas until the season is over.

This is open to anyone who responds and picks a team within the first three selections. I'll run spreadsheets to keep up on this. Whoever the last survivor is will receive a prize, picked by me, and mailed to your home address.

I will edit with the weekly matchups each week, so if you've survived Sunday, check the OP and make your next pick. This is the second time around, starting in Week 7. If you don't pick a team prior to a week 7 kick-off, sorry, you won't be included in the second go-round.

WEEK 7

SUN, OCT 19
San Diego at Buffalo
Minnesota at Chicago
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati
Tennessee at Kansas City
Dallas at St. Louis
Baltimore at Miami
San Francisco at NY Giants
New Orleans at Carolina
Detroit at Houston
NY Jets at Oakland
Indianapolis at Green Bay
Cleveland at Washington
Seattle at Tampa Bay

MON, OCT 20
Denver at New England

    Thanks for the unnecessary explanation, but picking the Chiefs made that plenty obvious.

    Also they are playing the Raiders who have to be worse because seriously Oakland and pro sports don't mix.

    In all seriousness, if people who are paying attention would be nice enough to respond like:

    Chiefs (1)
    and then
    Chiefs (2)
    and then
    Chiefs (3)

    that would be super keen.

    Actually, now that you point it out, I think this is the only viable week to pick the Chiefs. Good strategy -- leaves the Dallas' and Chicago's and New England's until later in the year.

    This is my first survivor pick 'em.

    Let's see, I want a sure winner I don't mind not having available later on.

    Put me down for the Steelers (1). Could be a landmine week. Jets/Patriots can be dangerous with Brady on the shelf, I want to save the Packers and Colts for later, I'm not sure what to think of Titans/Bengals.

    Oh man, that's also a great strategy. The man who knows shit about football has cracked this game open early on.

    Okay -- you're just really trying to rub in the fact that the 49ers lost to them now, aren't you?

    Whatever's clever, I don't want it too strict. I want this open to the unwashed masses, lots of people playing and having fun.

    Watch -- it's funny how quick people get weeded out on upset and such, but damn it's fun if you survive.

    I'm just going to comb through it all Friday or Saturday and put it in a sheet, so whatevs, really.
