Only 17 left. Hopefully JK will "Sticky" this thread to the top once he sees it to make it easier for all.

DO NOT POST HERE IF YOU HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED.

Post your pick ONLY and please help our JK and ComptrBob by posting your past picks, too.

Once again the Rules are:

Each NFL week, contestants submit a team to LOSE.

If the team loses, the contestant advances to the following week.

If the team wins OR ties, the contestant is eliminated.

You can only pick each NFL team ONCE during the season.

Entries must be submitted prior to kickoff of the contestant's game.

In case of ties, prize money will be divided evenly among all winners at season's end.



ONLY 17 PLAYERS STILL ALIVE AFTER FOUR WEEKS OF NFL ACTION:

I have the following advancing into W5: (It would be helpful if you list your past weeks plays, too when you submit your Week 5 pick)

1) BigDeemer
2) Bimmer
3) Royboy
4) Railbird
5) August West
6) lap18
7) richsox
8) prickly pete
9) njdave
10) unluckysob
11) mr pink
12) kane
13) E$13
14) Winky
15) Ejd
16) raininthrees
17) pro analyser


PO69 did not submit a pick and is eliminated. Scrimmage had Titans - they won - so he is gone

No team other than New England on Thursday night is favored by more than seven points in Week 5 action in the NFL.

If people think this concept is fun - wait until the one I sent JK about the NCAA Tourney comes about
Back in 2006 there was something like this here - Ken put up $1000 for the prize pool
....and I'd love to say this was my original idea but it is not - just something I saw done elsewhere. And as we are seeing - IT IS A LOT HARDER to pick a team to LOSE every week rather than win. You can only pick the Cards ONCE here whereas in "Winner" Pools you can pick against them every week

Eager for March 2019 to arrive.

The format for Winky's contest is fun.

Last year's winner from the pool of 68 NCAA tournament teams was fascinating.

Stay tuned.

picks in front of your face?

Like your avatar, "What the .....?"

I don’t feel like going back and looking who I took in previous weeks. I know I haven’t taken the Colts and if I have, I guess I’m out.

You are welcome to go back and look to see who I took in previous weeks.

I would hope that whoever is grading this is not relying solely on who people say they took in previous weeks anyway.

I'll research your previous plays later tonight.

Good point by E$13. I double check what a poster says they've picked in the past. I've got a list of all the contestants' previous picks.

FTR, E$13 previously had Raiders, Broncos, Jets.

6 people had SF last week... and it was almost a loser. And you think people are following you? You think I’m following you? Laugh my fucking ass off !
