SurvivorBowl XXIV - A Saintsreport Tradition

Welcome to season XXIV of SurvivorBowl on saintsreport.com. The site has been updated for the 2024 season. Please let me know if you have any problems.

All SurvivorBowl entries should be made at https://survivorbowl.net. Any issues should be reported here, in this thread, or by sending me ( @JRead2 ) 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.

Your Account:

• I have added 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.
• Please do not create a new account if you already have one -- just use the "Forgot Password" and/or "Forgot Username" links.
• 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 over the years!

• 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 for a few years, and for always supporting SurvivorBowl on SaintsReport.

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.

Can the Ravens lose the rest of their games? That would make me happy. They suck. Lol.

 

[JRead2]

Obviously, that's going to be the Saints. I like to save the Saints until later in the season though, so I'm not picking them just yet.

This didn't age well, given that I picked Baltimore.

I had originally picked 49ers, but Cmac being out just gave me a feeling. So I switched my pick to the Ravens. Yeah. Awesome.

 

[LifeForceDave]

good news, I made it past week one this year, bad news, I didn't pass week two!! damn ravens

With all the lamenting going on here, it's clear that the moniker for the NFL is going to have to change from 'Any Given Sunday' to 'Every Given Sunday'.
There is no team that is head and shoulders above the rest of the league. This season is anybody's best guess.

...except for the Saints.

Unless I pick them in survivor bowl

Unless I pick them in survivor bowl

So now we know.

 

[jayd265]

i was going to pick against panthers every week. now with the QB change i think i might wait a week. i dont think dalton will make them that much better. but he can still get a W or 2.

 

[0rion]

So now we know.

No worries.....I never pick them. Did it once years ago and learned my lesson.

 

[cajnwillie]

And the Eagles go down…that leaves 50% from last week.

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

And the Eagles go down…that leaves 50% from last week.

So you're telling me I have a chance?

 

[JRead2]

...and just like that, only 46 remain. Week 3 is open for picks!

 

[Arathrael]

And the Eagles go down…that leaves 50% from last week.

Aaaand I'm out, thanks to... the Eagles passing it on 3rd and 3, at the Falcon's 10 yard line, 3 up, with 1:39 left. And Barkley dropping a pass so easy to catch my two year old could do it.

Classic.

At least I didn't jinx the Saints by picking them!

 

[jayd265]

guess raiders this week.
