The original Survival League format is where you pick 1 team that you are going to guarantee to win that week. If you get it right, you survive to the next week. If you don't, you won't. Furthermore, once you pick at team as your guaranteed winner, you can never pick them again throughout the rest of the season. This was popular for a short time, but people lost interest in it because it was literally a 1 strike and your out format. So, I have adjusted the settings so you you’re not eliminated unless you get 3 strikes. Hopefully, this will get participation back up to what it used to be.

Only 4 signed up for Pick'em, and 3 for Survival. Come people, with as many members of this site who seem to think they're the #1 expert on all things football, I'd expect at least 40 to sign up for Pick'em & 20 for Survival :D

We're at 12 with Pick'em, which is still missing some of our most successful competitors in the past, including at least 1 former Champ who's a regular contributor to this site.

We're at 7 with Survival, 1 short of the most we've ever had. This may be due to me using a 3 strike & your out format instead of just 1 strike.

We have 8 players tied for 1st going into this final game,and everyone has picked the Broncos. If I’m understanding the tie-break system properly:
1st: Broncos score
2nd: Raiders’ score
3rd: Texans’ score
4th: New Orleans score

So, here are the predictions for the Broncos’ score, as well as Davii & Montana cougar slayer's prediction for the Raiders due to them predicting the same score for the Broncos:
Canmore: 23
Davii: 27-10
Ziggy: 17
Montana cougar slayer: 27-17
BORDERLINE: 24
SR: 30

Not listed:
Me, because Canmore & I had identical predictions for the Broncos & Raiders, but he has eliminated me by being just off by just 1 point on the scores of both of the Texans & Saints

Denver Native (Carol), BORDERLINE & her had identical predictions for the Broncos & raiders, but he eliminated her by being just a little closer in predicting the Texans’ score.

Fun fact, all 3 of them predicted the same score for the Saints.

FanInAZ

So if I've gotten the hang of this tie breaking system, Ziggy will be declared the winner. However, I can't make it official until Yahoo! declares it to be so.

Survivial League Update: No one got a strike in week 1, but Orangehoof had the near miss of the week. After Deshaun Watson & his fellow Texans burned him with a TD in the final minute of their game, Drew Brees & his fellow Saints bailed him out with a FG as the clock struck :00!

FanInAZ
09-11-2019, 07:39 AM
Sorry for the delay, between me injuring my wrist at work a couple weekend ago & a lot of good things coming together for me in my personal life, I’ve been quite preoccupied the past few weeks.

As far as me guessing wrong that Ziggy would win the tie breaker, I think instead of treating this week’s 2nd Monday night game as the final game of the week & the 1st game as the 2nd to last game of the week (a distinction usually held by the Sunday night game), Yahoo! treated THE 1st Monday night game as the Monday night game & the 2nd as THE OTHER game.

I saw the Texans take the lead with :37 left and asked myself "Did they leave Drew Brees too much time?"

And, of course, the Texans were stupid. You have a rookie kick returner back there for the Saints who has already made two mental mistakes in the game. Why not pop the ball up to about the 10 yard line and force him to use up some clock? Yes, he might make a great return but more likely there would be a penalty on the return or he gets no further than his own 30 and then Brees has to work with :30 or less to get into field goal range. Instead, they kick it out of the end zone so Brees has the whole :37 seconds. And, of course, Colvin gives a receiver 15 yards of cushion when he needs seven to be on the fringe of Lutz' FG range. Brilliant!

Yes, I got my 1st strike by 2 points when the 0-4 Jets upset the Cowboys 3-2. Note that my strike was the result of a winless team beating a 3-2 team. Your 1st strike was when the 0-4 Broncos lost, and your 2nd strike was when the 1-4 Falcons lost. Although I was surprised when the Cowboys lost, but I wasn't the least bit surprised when our Broncos and Falcons lost. If you play again in the future, you might want to have higher standards for what teams you pick.

Nah. There was nothing wrong with how I picked. If momentum had gone a different way, other people might have strikes and I would have had stronger teams heading into later weeks.

I swore I had picked for last week, but oh well lol.

Having won the championship several times, I know that you have risk jumping in front of speeding freight trains in order to cross the tracks before getting splattered if you want to win it all. Sometimes you miss judge the speed of the train and get splattered anyways just like what happened to me when the Jets upset the Cowboys, but I'd never just in front of the train as closely as you did when you got splattered unless I had no choice. Having pick almost all mediocre teams so far, I still have all the legitimate SB contenders & most of the legitimate play-off contenders available to me. So I've good reason to believe that I most likely won't have to make that choice.

So now we have to choose elite over very good or not so good against terrible. As a result BORDERLINE & Orangehoof got strikes when the Lions lost to the Redskins. In so doing, BORDERLINE joins the rest of us being 1 strike away from elimination, while Orangehoof got eliminated. I survived as scare myself when the Bears pulled a 5 point win against the Giants.

Survival League Update: This week it was the Seahawks allowing the Panthers to get a couple of garbage time TDs made the final score a near enough miss for Canmore to get a little concerned, but the Hawks kept him alive so he & BORDERLINE both advance to week 16.

Your not finished yet. I know from past years that, even though you are the sole survivor, you still get to keep picking until you strike out. I've never made it past week 13, which means that I tied my all-time best this year. However, as long as you keep picking correctly, you can keep going all the way to the SB. The question that I can't find the answer to in the rules that I've read, will they unlock the teams that you already used to this point who made the play-offs. If not, the Texans are the only team left whom you can pick this week, then you'll be officially eliminated next week when you can't make a pick because you've already taken all of the rest of the play-off teams in previous weeks.

Not so fast. It isn't letting me pick any of the teams. Doesn't show any used. Hmmm.

This makes no sense. I already put in my pick-em picks, so it doesn't make sense that you can't do your survival pick yet. Keep checking every day until it enables you to do so.

I've just rechecked the group setting for the who knows many times and you should be good to go. Nevertheless, if the yahoos over at Yahoo batched something in the programming, then go ahead & post your pick here and we’ll give you full credit for your continued successes, even if the yahoos at Yahoo do not.

You'll keep the 2 strikes you have against, so 1 more miss and you’re out. All of the teams that made the play-offs are available for you to pick, but you can only pick each team once throughout the remainder of the tournament.

Idk, maybe? I am sure I didn't see the movie though, I'm just guessing. But Yul Brynner and Pharaoh Ramses, that sounds exactly right!

I decided to sit this year out. I have my doubts they can go through the whole season without some last minute changes. 2020 will be a different type of Survival Contest in the NFL.
