2021 NFL Survivor - DragonAttack & pg1067 Co-Champions!

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Hello all! This seems to remain a somewhat popular thing among us football fans. So I figured I'd swing in and run it. When I have a bit more time, I'll compile the links to the previous years.

The rules are simple.

Choose one team who you think will win their Week 1 game.

If your team wins, you move on to the next Week. If your team loses, you're eliminated.

You must choose a different team each week. Once you choose a team, you may no longer use them for the rest of the Survivor.

Your team must win the game, ties are considered a loss.

You must submit your pick before the kickoff of the game that you're choosing. So the latest that you can pick is just before kickoff for the Monday Night game.

Here is the list of games for Week 1 Choose wisely.

Thursday Night Season Opening Game
Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Sunday Early Games
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans
Los Angeles Chargers at Washington Football Team
Seattle Seahawks at Indianapolis Colts
New York Jets at Carolina Panthers
Minnesota Vikings at Cincinnati Bengals
Arizona Cardinals at Tennessee Titans
San Francisco 49ers at Detroit Lions
Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills
Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons

Sunday Late Games
Cleveland Browns at Kansas City Chiefs
Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints (Game to be played in Jacksonville)
Denver Broncos at New York Giants
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots

Sunday Night Football
Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Rams

Monday Night Football
Baltimore Ravens at Las Vegas Raiders

If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know.

[Stadler]

As much as I would love to keep playing, and I may, unofficially, but I'm actually eliminated I think, Destiny.

Lol you're right. I had you and Bosk in the win column on my template, assuming a Ravens win. Moved him down after the game, forgot to move you down. Thanks for your honesty.

Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay

[DragonAttack]

Was traveling, had to hurry to post my pick, and never got to say 'Thank you, DoC, for doing this again'.

Three years ago, me and Dr. DVDT went 13-14 weeks before he won.  Two years ago, I made it to around Week 9 or 10.  Last year, a first or second week bounce.  It happens.

I put this link on the pick 'em thread, to show how out of the norm the results of Week 1 were:

Sorry for those who chose the Ravens.  This is going to be a long season for an injury depleted team.

Pick for Week 2:  Green Bay

[Destiny Of Chaos]

Tampa Bay

Yeah....I'm going with Tampa Bay. Cleveland and New England are tempting, but don't want to roll the dice.

[T-ski]

Tampa

Pick for Week 2:  Green Bay

After that egg laying by GB last week, if I were betting the spread, I would absolutely take the Lions and the points in this one.

I'll make my actual pick for this week on Friday.

Yeah, I'd pass on that game.

I haven't decided either.

Yeah, I'd pass on that game.

I haven't decided either.

Fortunately, I don't have to deal with the point spread.  As a former Michigander who suffered with them for decades, I'm going with the Lions legendary knack of clutching defeat from the jaws of victory.   That, and having only won twice at Lambeau over the past three decades.  Of course, using all of this logic, they'll probably screw me over yet again and win

[Dublagent66]

I'm not touching tonight's game.  The NFC East garbage bowl.

[Dublagent66]

Ok, so that game turned out to be better than I could have imagined.  I actually almost watched the whole thing.  Very entertaining...for the NFC East anyway.
