NFL Suicide Pool
Entered one of these last year and really found the format to be a lot of fun. Thought I'd launch one here and see if there's any interest.
Rules are simple: You pick one team to win each week but you cannot repeat the same team at any point in the season. Obviously, it gets progressively tougher each week. When you pick a losing team, you're out. Last poster standing wins the glory.
I'll bump this closer to Week One, but for anyone who wants to get started, I'll kick it off with my own pick. (Picks must be made before the start of the first game of the week.)
Week One: Indianapolis (over New Orleans)

I have been in one of these for the past couple years. We call it a survivor pool. $25 per team and you can enter as many teams as you want. Usually end up with 350 teams. Big money for the winner.

It's pretty fun when there's a big upset and 1/2 the players are taken out in one fell swoop...unless you're one of them!

Question: Can you pick a team to win multiple times? For example could you pick a team like the Colts to win weeks 1,2,3,4,5? or do you have to pick a different team to win every week?
Thanks.
Edited to say that I really need to learn how to read entire posts before commenting as I just now saw the answer to my question in the first post of the thread!!

Once you pick a team you can't pick them again.

Yeah, that's a good strategy...I just wanted to avoid the embarrasment of being eliminated the first week! Of course, it will be extra embarrassing if they lose now.
