I've talked myself back and forth on most of the games...even had the pick as the 49rs but just can't do it.

I'm taking a chance this week. Prolly be the only one with The _________'s. A few upsets and it could pay off...

I went with a team I hate, but these crazy contests make us do that sometimes.

Where are they exit posts? If you get eliminated you should come in and say something about it...otherwise what's the point?

Best of luck to those who remain and I hope someone makes it all the way to the very end. I don't think we've ever had anyone do that.

This (week 6) has long been uncharted territory for me.

HEY! That's awesome. I couldn't check who picked who until this morning but I seen this post last night and wondered...

I could go out in the same week and still be the winner, interesting. I had wondered about that. I guess the same would apply between knock outs in early vs late games.

Now you'll be able to answer the question of whether you are able to keep picking next week even though you are the survivor.

Like I said, I was wondering about that.

There has to be a line, right? What if one game was decided in OT - did someone "Survive" longer and get the win?

So I guess they can't take my winner status away but could add it to the other two knocked out this week.

Got it. I think you guys should keep playing in that case.

Boy, did Pittsburgh's Defense look suddenly old and slow last night.

Did not see that coming, even with Palomaulo out.
