I'm going with the Texans this week. They play the Raiders. It's a toss-up game and could be risky but the Raiders are playing a rookie QB and Texans seemed to handle the Redskins ok last week.

Bonus points for picking underdogs? If so, I'll take Minnesota.
Not exactly though it allows for safer picks when you have less possible teams to pick from. Downside is that if you lose.... off with your head!!! Strategy is involved with luck of course.:)

I suppose I can be convinced to change the rules if everybody loses too quick but for now it's single elimination.

I don't expect to lose, I just want extra points for winning with an underdog team.

Vikings over the almighty Patriots.

It's a survivor pool. There are no points. Just advancement.

If several people make it all the way through, there's gotta be a tie breaker. It's usually either points won by or overall record of all teams not picked.

This thread somehow escaped me until now. Is it too late to take the Ravens over Steelers?

Just kidding.

I'll take the Packers over the Jets.

Broncos over Chiefs. I figure with the crushing their soul next week, this is the last safe week to take them.

Currently it looks like 20 people are still in depending on the Chicago v 49er and Indianapolis v Philadelphia games. And I survived, yay me!

I shall update later this week if you guys want to continue.

you shouldve let people pick Seattle, 75% of these clowns would have been eliminated because they didn't listen to #Prisco'sMagic8Ball
