Eliminator Challenge

Not sure what an eliminator pick is? No worries, we’ve got you covered.

Essentially, an eliminator pick is who we absolutely with certainty think will win the game. There is, however, one caveat.

We can only pick each team once. That means, we cannot pick the Patriots or the Vikings or even our beloved Denver Broncos more than one time. Over the course of the season, we will track the success (or lack thereof) with each of our staff in picking these games along with who they can longer pick.

“It’s a must win if they are going to turn around the season. I think they will win if they play how they’ve played the last three weeks.”
