If you're not familiar with survivor, the rules are simple....

 

Each week pick one team you believe will win.   If your team wins you stay in the game for another week.    If your team loses you receive one strike.    Two strikes (two incorrect picks) and you're out.    Last person to remain is the winner.   Note: you cannot pick the same team more than once throughout the season.   eg, if you pick PIT to win the first week, then you can't pick PIT for the rest of the season.     You only need to pick the winner, no point spreads.

 

Your pick for the week must be submitted by 1p ET each Sunday (if you want to pick the thur game, then get your pick in before kickoff).   If you fail to pick a team for the week before the Sun 1pm ET deadline, then that counts as a strike.

 

Since we're doing two strikes, if folks are still alive heading into week 13 you'll need to submit two picks (each incorrect pick is still counted as one strike).

There goes my strategy of picking the Bills ever week

No no. The key is to pick whomever the Bills are playing each week.

Unless it's the Jets

 

 

So what happens if there are multiple survivors? Knife fight?

[Derrico]

You ever play before? It's incredibly hard to make it far. There are always one or two upsets that knock like 80% of the pool out in the first few weeks.

Nope, first time around. Just taking into account improbables ;)

There will prolly be a few survivors by the time we get to week 13 where you'll need to pick 2 teams.    It'll end quickly at that point.

Thanks! I'm in another where I picked the Bills vs Jets at home in Week 1. I'm not as confident in that one as I was.

I'll give this a whirl. Thanks pi!

No, like rakish said, 1p ET Sunday is the deadline.

 

If you want to pick the Thur game, you need to submit the pick before kickoff.

I'm goona go a little off the cuff and pick the raiders on the road for week 1

[The Dominator]

I most likely will not pick the Bills at all in this. You just know the one time you submit the Bills that it'll come back to bite you
