If you're playing the New England Patriots @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers game please have your picks in by 8:25pm EST Thursday.

NFL SURVIVOR CHALLENGE

Here's how it works

Contest Breakdown

Thursday night and Monday night games are included in the contest. If there is a Saturday game in London or something that game will also be included in the contest as well. The contest will run for the entire regular season (17 weeks).

Rules for when the contest closes each week

The contest will have several locks each week. The Thursday game(s) will have it's own lock, Saturday will have it's own lock, Sunday will have it's own locks (one morning, afternoon, night) and Monday will have the final lock. I have decided to do it this way so that all the games can be included without excluding anybody from playing each day.

Prizes

• 1st Place $350 SBD
• 2nd Place $100 SBD
• 3rd Place $50 SBD

How to Play

• Each week you will select one team which you guarantee (think) will win their game. You can only chose each team once for the entire season so do your research.

Elimination

• This contest will run with no elimination.

Participation

• Players do not have to play every week. If you miss a week it is ok however you don't have the chance to gain another point but you don't risk the chance of getting one wrong either. If you don't make it in time for week 1 it's no problem you can start week 2 or any other week.

Winner

• The winner is the person who has the most correct selections minus wrong selections at the end of the 17th week.

Tie Breaker

• If there is more then one person with the same overall score after all 17 weeks of football have been played out then there will be a playoff challenge for those players.

Keeping Track of Results

• Each week I will be running a spread sheet showing everyone's previous picks, if they were right or wrong, the teams they have already used (since you can only pick each team once), the players correct selections, the players incorrect selections and the total score.
