Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 18

Footballguys Staff's Staff Eliminator Picks, Week 18 Footballguys Staff Published 01/07/2022

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

Well, we have a tie. Both guys saved the Patriots and Titans (two of the top teams in the league) for the last two weeks of the season. Great strategy -- but it's futile as they matched picks both weeks.

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!
