2021 Survival Football - 08/31/21 05:39 AM

This year I want to (yet again) compare ESPN and YAHOO versions of the same game, and next year may pick the one I like best.

Pick one or both games:

ESPN Eliminator Challenge - This game lets you keep playing after you lose, which will help your final standings*

Group: Gangster BB
Passw: Corleone

Yahoo Survival Football

Group ID: 14410
Passw: Corleone

Pick one NFL team you think will win each week. You can only use each team ONCE per season. If you're wrong, you're out of the running -- although you can keep playing to keep your standing up.

First Game: Thursday, September 9th

2020 Results: MB, JG, DB, JL, MM (Won in Week 5)

*MB won, even though I went 16-1 and he went 13-4 (I got my loss first)

NOTE: In the Yahoo game, I didn't realize that there was a group setting to set a weekly deadline to make survival picks (apparently that's Sunday at 1:00 PM EST). I think this may be new, but there's no way I can change it now. I think there should be no deadline (besides before the last game of the week, in case someone forgets). I'll try to change it for next year. JL missed making his pick by the deadline, but was honest telling me he would've picked and lost with the Titans in Week 4. It's down to just DB and me...!

P.S. I really hate the redesign of the ESPN fantasy pages and will likely drop that option for 2022 and just play on Yahoo. It's been redundant anyway....

Neither ESPN nor Yahoo let me make any more picks now that I've been eliminated. Oh well, congrats to those of you still alive
