    stlrz d's "pick a loser" challenge

    Open to everyone. Each week pick one team you think will lose and before that team's kickoff for the week either post it here or PM it to me if you don't want people to know your pick. I'll then post your pick shortly before kickoff. You can only pick a team once.

    So it's simple:

    1) Starting with week one pick one NFL team a week that you think will lose.

    2) Post or PM that pick before that team kicks off for the week.

    3) You can only pick a team once.

    4) If your team loses you advance, if you team wins you are out.

    5) Last person left wins Planet Steelers bragging rights for a whole off season.

    6) If we have a winner by week 5 we'll start over again with everyone back in.

    7) If there is no winner at the end of the regular season we will continue into the post season.

    8 ) You must be in from week one...no latecomers.

    9) Do not pick more than one week at a time unless you will be away from the board for some reason.

    10) Fail to make a pick for the week and you will automatically be assigned the visiting team for that week's MNF game, unless you've already selected that team. If that is the case you will get the home team for the MNF game. If you've already selected that team then it will go to the visiting team for the Sunday Night Football game or home team for the SNF game, respectively. If all four of those teams have been selected then you will have failed to make a pick for that week and are out.

    Last year we did this via a website but I am hoping there will be more participants this way. I'll track everything via a spreadsheet and post the results weekly.

    And Oviedo, this isn't fantasy football so you can play too. :P

        Correct. Post or PM the one team you are absolutely certain will lose. Once you pick a team you can't pick them again.

            People can pick the same teams. Everyone can pick the Titans once...even in the same week.

            But once you choose the Titans (or any other team) you can not choose them again for the rest of the season.

            Make sense?

              In that case, I will pick the Titans, too.

                If anyone ever picks the Steelers, they should be thrown off the board for trollism.

                I pick da Bears for Week 2.

                  9) Please only pick one week at a time unless you won't have access to the board for some reason.

                  So no picking week 2 until week 1 is complete, etc. :P

                      Well since the rules state you must pick a team (NFL) I guess you win nothing. :P

                      I should also mention if you fail to make a choice for a week you are out.

                        You have a good shot at winning by just picking the Browns and Bucs opponents each week. Oh and the Raiders...those teams are atrocious. I mean, what's new, with that statement, right? But seriously, after watching them play, those teams are at an obvious disadvantage right now.

                          This is not a "pick the winner" elimination challenge. It is a "pick the loser" elimination challenge. So if you picked the teams that play the Browns, Bucs, or Raiders, you will likely be eliminated early, since the teams that play those sorry franchises will probably win, thereby eliminating you from the competition.
                          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                            In your honor, I took my son to "Down Under Mini Golf" in Ocean City Maryland, and I was a big loser. The 8 year old beat me by 2 strokes, even though I was up by 4 strokes after 9 holes. The punk got a hole-in-one on the par 3 Ayers Rock hole. :P

                            Luckily for me, a few days prior to that, we faced off at Alien Mini Golf, and I beat him by two strokes then. So we are even overall. And we got free ice cream at the Down Under place. Bonus!
