I didn't think about it too hard, but I think my top three choices for eliminator all lost, so there I go in every game.

Just pick against your own team every week, then you can feel joy even if they lose.

Props to the crazy goon who wagered all 500 of his funbucks on the Bills to just straight up win.

that was a ballsy eliminator pick congrats, eagles/colts seemed real close on paper and the game bore that out too.

I've made a big comeback in pick em; the highest position at this point is 31 - 17 (not that great) and I'm still 3-0 in reverse if nothing else.

Do some folks usually finish eliminator/reverse/spread with perfect records? Seems kind of unlikely.

This year I was eliminated by the Detroit Goddamned Lions. Because they beat the Pats.

I'm OK with this.

I find it to be a pretty good strategy to make picks against teams you like and that way if they win you're happy for the team and if they lose well at least you advanced in eliminator!
