Eliminator Challenge is one of the simplest and most entertaining games during the NFL season. Pick one team to win each week. If that team wins, you advance to the next week. Lose once, and you're out. The only caveat is you cannot pick the same team twice.
While it sounds simple, getting a perfect season is always more difficult than it looks. The key is to find a good balance of picking winners while also keeping quality options open for future weeks.
Last week was another tough one for Eliminator Challenge entrants. My top pick (the Jaguars) lost at home to the Texans. Jacksonville ended up as the most popular selection in Circa Sportsbook's large tournament. Meanwhile, the most popular pick on ESPN.com was the Green Bay Packers at 24 percent. The Packers also lost in London against the Giants. Overall, 36 percent of remaining ESPN players saw their picks lose last week.
This week seems like a straightforward week on paper with three teams favored by at least a touchdown. Those three teams are my top picks this week.
