Chaos and confusion reigned this week, with a Buccaneers upset and a tongue-in-cheek pick edit making for an exciting week, but we have an initial Champion, and that is......me! Full results available at the Week 6 post. All hail the Survivor King. Long may he reign.
Well, maybe for a day. Because WE'RE RESTARTING THIS THING! That's right, Round II begins this week, with Week 7 games. The rules remain the same EXCEPT....we're closing that pesky tie loophole; ties being a loss will be made explicit for this Survivor round.
Rules reminder (changes in italics)
- Pick one team each week. If that team loses, you're out. If that team wins, you move on to the next week. Ties are considered losses, and that participant is out.
- You can only pick each team once.
- If you're the last one standing, you win.
- If you haven't picked by the time the first game to be played that week has started (e.g. the Thursday night game, Bills at Rams, for week one), you can still pick, so long as you pick a game that hasn't started yet.
- If all remaining participants for a week lose or tie (i.e. nobody's pick wins), then that week resets, and those participants move on to the next week.
- You may change your pick, so long as neither your old nor your new picks have started their games. This must be done in a new comment, not by editing your original comment.
- When the game resets (as is happening this week), all previously used teams are available to be picked.

Week 7 Picks
Please make your picks for Week 7 as a reply to this comment.
I'll take the J-E-T-S
Let's start with the B's again.
Buccaneers...
Is Brady going to fly with the team this week?
Might need to change that.... If it do, it will be before the game.
Does it really matter though? It is the Panthers. They are not even using a QB...
Eagles over the Bye.
Ok that joke's over I'll pick Patriots beating Bears.
Put me down for the Raiders.
I'll take the Pats over the Bears
The Raiderrrrrssss.
I figured it out. The key to winning this thing isn't picking only B teams, its picking against only the B teams.
I'll take the Patriots.
I guess I'll take the Giants
I'll take Tampa.
Give me the packers over the commanders
New comment so there's no edit confusion, i would like to change my pick (if allowed!) to Patriots over bears
Neither team has played yet, so sure. Good call on the new comment. I'll make a note of that.
Bucs
I'm going to be spicy and pick the Commanders over the Packers because of Taylor Heinicke starting this week and my undying loyalty to a terrible football team...
Chiefs
I'll take the Cowboys over the Lions.
Ravens over Browns
I'll go Giants. For Joe.
Patriots
I'm also going with the Patriots this week. Because (a) they're playing the Bears, and (b) I don't want to have to root for them the rest of the season.
Also updated the initial post with picks to date. Get your picks in, people!
Got a challenge for you. Go to a bar- not redzone- go to a sports bar, find the Bears game and sit and try to watch it. Don't surf, sit and try to watch a Bears game. If you can do that without killing a bottle of 1800 while you are there, I'll send you a prize.
If by some miracle, I happen to get enough me time on a weekend, I'm not going to waste it watching a Bears game! C'mon, bud!
I'll Take Packers over Commies
I'll take the cowboys over the lions.
Am i allowed to take a team ive already taken prior to elimination? Or nah
I had the same question - my assumption is clean slate and all 32 teams are back on for everyone and we're basically just completely starting over
That assumption is correct. I'll make a note of it.
Congratulations to Little Bobby Tables. May they reign supreme. Sorry again for my confusing comment edit, I hadn't realized no one saw my Thursday night pick.
Whenever I read your handle, all I can think of is:

Pats over Bears
