Adding new rule:  You cannot pick the same team two weeks in a row.

As I said before, I know nothing about football. Never one to let knowing nothing stop me, I'd be happy to randomly pick a team if I knew who was playing. Sadly, I'm too lazy to search up a schedule, so I'm just going to go with the opposite of what Chad chooses. So I'll go with the Raiders. ;D

So, logically, one of us will be eliminated this week.

The Patriots are two time defending NFL Champions.  The Raiders were 5-11 last year.

I want to make sure I understand the rules.  This week I picked St. Louis over San Francisco.  Assuming I'm right, the next week I cannot choose St. Louis OR San Francisco to either win or lose, is that right?

Hrm... that's a good point.  It's not clear.

Let's make it so that you cannot involve a team in any way in two consecutive weeks.  That is, you cannot involve a team in any capacity for two weeks in a row.

Hrm.  Logically, if all remaining players are eliminated at once, I guess we could keep them all.

Opinions?

You should set this up through yahoo http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem.  I would imagine that it would make the logistics of this a lot easier and would save a lot of time and head ache.  Just a suggestion.

Fair enough.  I figured 2 minutes of set up time would be worth saving you the hassle of watching this thread and updating it for 17 (most likely fewer as people will dwindle down) weeks.  To me my time would be too valuable to waste with the logistics when there is a free system in place.  Carry on.  ;)

The homer in me likes that pick, but seeing them all year makes it a toss-up for me.

I'm going with STL beating the pants off SanFran.  No pants on  a tight end, Stingray's gonna get interested in foos-ball pretty quickly ;) ;)

The best way to do this is to only be able to pick a certain team once throughout the entire season.   If you pick the Colts in week one, you can't pick the Colts again all season.  It makes it a lot more challenging instead of just filp-flopping between two good teams every other week.  Atleast this is how every NFL survivor pool I have been in has worked.

Best for you, not best for me who would have to verify every contestant's pick against their previous picks over the entire season.

This isn't every other NFL survivor pool you have been in.

That should be good to get me eliminated in the first week.
