You might think that's the safe route but one upset eliminates half the field. That has happened in the past. Hell it happens nearly every time the Lions win.
I have been considering making it so that once there are only two left they can't pick the same game.

An interesting twist could be to have Pick Em where the game is randomly selected and everyone has to pick the winner from that game only. Either vs. the spread or straight up.
I'm not saying that for your game or right now or this week or whatever. Just thinking out loud and throwing it out there. I got nothing else to do in this thread and haven't for weeks on end. ;D
Flake:
Or you could do it where once you pick a team as a winner or loser you cant pick them again - EVER. So people cant rotate back to the Rams/Bucs/Raiders every few weeks. Thats actually how I've seen most of these pick em contests formatted.
ChadTower:
Heh. Well, anyone who wants to run a different style game is more than welcome as far as I'm concerned. It wouldn't bother me. I wouldn't ever factor the spread in because I don't gamble and don't even really know how the spread works.
I have considered Flake's suggestion in the past. We do a pretty good job of regulating ourselves of the super safe picks because there is no money involved. If we ever get to a point where guys are lasting 14 weeks that way we would definitely have to adjust the rules somehow.

Week 7
New England over Tampa Bay

We could probably get 3-4 rounds if you could never pick the same teams again. Or maybe just take the teams you pick off the table for 2 or 3 weeks instead of just 1. So if you pick the Vikes over the Lions then you couldn't pick either of those for the next two weeks...or even 3 weeks. Just a thought. Harder to run it for Chad though.

Definitely.
I just have one thing to say about your pick, bro... please please please do better against New England than the Titans did. Kthx. A win is probably too much to ask but let's not go 59-0.
