SurvivorBowl XXIII - A Saintsreport Tradition

Obsession Saints has won Survivorbowl XXIII!!


Welcome to season XXIII of SurvivorBowl on saintsreport.com.

All SurvivorBowl entries should be made at https://survivorbowl.net. Any issues should be reported here, in this thread, or by send me a private message. If you are ever unable to make your pick on the site, you can make the pick in this thread. Just be mindful of the timestamp. The pick must be made on time.

A note about this year's SurvivorBowl. Last season, a lot of inactive accounts were cleaned up -- a couple hundred, in fact. They were inactive users who didn't play in the previous season. I also disabled accounts that didn't make a week 1 pick. I will most likely disable accounts again this year if a week 1 pick is not made.

Your Account:
• You have the ability to create an account, which will require email verification. New accounts may be created up until the week 1 deadline has passed. After that time, no new accounts.
• You can now reset your password, using your username and email address.
• If you forget you username, you can use your email address to look it up.

I'd like to give a big shout out to everyone involved with SurvivorBowl!
• Thanks to JBConway for coming up with the original idea for Survivorbowl, and for running it from a thread on this site for multiple years.
• Thanks to d3cyph3r for his many years of dedication to SurvivorBowl, and for making it much more automated by moving it to its own web site.
• Thanks to superchuck500 for managing a temporary site for the beginning of the 2021 season, as a new site was brought online.
• Thanks to Andrus for allowing us to host the site on the SaintsReport server.

Rules:
  1. Pick a winner (no point spread involved) of any NFL game during week 1. If problems arise on the main website, you can place your pick as a comment to this very thread.
  2. If the team you selected wins their week 1 game, you continue to week 2. If your team of choice lost their week 1 battle, you have been pigskinned from SURVIVORBOWL already and should be ashamed of yourself!
  3. A team may only be selected once during the season to win their game. For example. if you pick the Saints in week 1, you may not select the Saints again for the remainder of the SURVIVORBOWL.
  4. You continue in the SURVIVORBOWL until a loss (or tie) is suffered, then you're out of the pool. YES, TIES ARE LOSSES! You are picking a team to WIN. If they don't win, you don't win.
  5. A winning pick must be in before the very last game starts for that week or you will be pigskinned.
  6. Picks selected in the thread will supersede what is entered in the system. The official record for your pick will be in the thread if the system has an error, or some other mishap. Just notify jread2 by a PM to update it.
  7. Any pick not submitted by any of the deadlines set within the rules posted each week will be considered a loss and the contestant will be eliminated from SURVIVORBOWL.
  8. The game will continue until one contestant remains.
  9. If all remaining contestants are eliminated in the same week, the contest will consist of a tiebreaker. The highest point total from all picks combined will win!
  10. If the regular season ends with no outright winner, the winner of the main pool will be chosen by the total of the win margins of each team you chose to win. For example, if the you pick the Saints to beat Atlanta, and the Saints win with a score of 117 - 3, the win margin is 114. The total of all your selected teams' win margins will determine the tie-breaker.

Well, in my pick em, I'm trying to find a way to pick Chicago over Minny (Jefferson still out). So if those are your choices, it's Bills.
My brother is a bills fan so I can get on board with that......even though the bills lay an egg every now and then. They just lost to the jags but if you watched that game it was like they were sleep walking.
 
I really want to pick the Commanders to beat the Falcons by a lot, but I don’t trust Washington. I’m going with the Raiders over the Pats but I don’t feel good about it.

I can't find a pick I have much confidence in...right now I have the Vikings over the bears but I'm not confident in that pick so may change.
 
I swapped my pick from minn to buffalo. Imagine how sweet that game was last night for me. Like I need more football related stress in my life.
I would say that the Giants are awful; however, if that wasn’t DPI in the end zone then I don’t know what is.

I haven’t picked the Bills yet and this is probably where I’m going this week. I think the Packers might be a good pick to beat the Broncos too.

The mediocre group of teams is overcrowded this year which makes it tough.
 
Down to the last 47. I haven't made it this far since I won it back in the 2007 season. I remember one season about 10 years ago the whole thing was down to about 10 or 12 people left after 5 or 6 games.
It's hotting up. Can an old King reclaim his crown????
 
The weeks get tougher. I currently have Seattle picked but hate going with the crowd on picks because we're due up for an upset that shrinks the field. I'm eyeballing either GB or Cleveland but neither of those teams instill confidence.
 
Shoot. It looks like i skinned myself by forgetting to pick last week.

I guess there is always next year...
Dang, my money was riding on you. Got long odds with a big payout. I thought it was because of your lack game selecting acumen that made the odds so high. Now we know.

Thanks a lot, CK! ;)
 
Looks like the Bills are writing my exit ticket today. Stupid Bills.
