2020 NFL 3 Strikes Challenge

(Format and rules and everything taken from my hosting of this game the last few years and Pablito's the years prior)
Pretty much the standard Eliminator challenge, but you get additional lives.

RULES

The objective of the challenge is to correctly select a "Winning Pick" for one NFL game each week.

Each week, you must select one team which you believe will be the winner of that game. Please post in thread and bold your pick for that week. If you are correct, you stay alive. However, if your pick for that week does not win its game, or you fail to make a pick for a given week, you earn a Strike. If you earn three Strikes, you are eliminated.
Once you pick a team, you can't use that team the rest of the season.


The last remaining person wins. If more than one person is left standing after Week 17 (or if all remaining players were eliminated the same week), the following tiebreaker is used:

1. The person who has the least amount of Strikes
2. The person who has the most correct picks (
added this year to punish a player for picking a team that ties
)
3. The person who has the longest streak of correct picks
4. I don't want to deal with more tiebreakers than this, so if multiple players are tied at this point we will go into the postseason (with team selections reset) or continue with the next week, continuing until the tie has been broken. However, if any tied player doesn’t want to continue, we can just call it a tie at this point.

Lock-time

All selections will lock at the scheduled kick-off of each game (as found on the NFL website). Players must make sure their picks are submitted by the scheduled lock-time each week. You will not be able to make selections for games that have already locked. Selections submitted after the deadline are considered invalid, and will not be counted as Winning Picks. Entrants who submit selections after the lock time and do not submit another entry for the week will earn a Strike. Feel free to change your pick as long as both the game you are changing from and the game you are changing to have not reached their respective lock-times.

Tie Games

In the event a game should end in a tie after overtime, players that had selected teams in the game as their picks for that week will neither be recorded with a Winning Pick or a Strike.

Joining in Late:

Players have until Week 3 to join.
If you join in Week 2, you start the game with one Strike. If you join in Week 3, you start the game with two Strikes.

Before we get started with opening night this Thursday, I’d like to talk about what to do with ties (following up on our discussion from last year) and with any last-minute Covid-related game postponements. For the former, I added a line to the tiebreaker rule saying that the first tiebreaker after number of strikes is number of winning picks, which I think is sufficient, but I’d like feedback. For the latter, I’m not really sure if we need to do anything beyond the usual “pay attention and change your pick”.

I know the past two years we’ve continued with the last-eliminated players (4 Strikes) but that’s been more of a gentlemen’s agreement between the two remaining people. But we only did that because the consecutive correct pick streak also resulted in a tie, in theory if either player dissented we would have just called the game a tie.

I’ll go
Bills
for Week 2. Will post week 1 standings in an hour or so.

I’m fine changing it to count ties as losses since that seems to be the consensus. Speak now or forever hold your peace if you’re opposed.

Micc joins the game and immediately jumps to two strikes on the Saints loss. My Saints fan friend tells me it's the refs' fault, as usual. Everybody else who makes a pick is correct, since luckily nobody took the Vikings!

Onto Week Three!

How 'bout them...Cleveland Browns? Cowboys and Niners losses give Panzer his first strike, and eliminate Kilga, Midway, and Haschel.

Week 5! Racefan, PokerFace, Aronis, and Snakes remain perfect, with six users behind them at one strike and five more at two strikes.

Pablito is eliminated, as Dsj and Gamma also pick wrong and go to two strikes. Nero goes to two strikes by not making a pick, and two strikeless players barely survive the injury to Dak Prescott. Will Week 6 be any easier? Please note the schedule changes and lack of a Thursday night game this week!

Sirius and I take a step back with the Titans falling to Cincy; Aronis no-picks for his third strike for the third consecutive year (though he did make it longer than either of the past two years I guess?). Onto Week Nine!

The Jets play three quarters of reasonably okay football, before putting up two total yards of offense in the fourth quarter, blowing their lead, and saving Vash and Gamma's Three Strikes runs. IPS falls victim to the Miami Dolphins, and Panzer fails to pick.

Week 10 begins. Nobody has one strike, everybody that's left has zero or two!

Between the last two years we’ve had one person start 8-0 before taking their first loss Week 9, and one person start 10-0 before their first loss Week 11 (IPS and Gamma respectively).

Vash and Sirius strike out because I guess the NFCE and AFCE are a bit more nuanced than we all expected; Panzer strikes out on another no-pick. PokerFace also falls victim to a bad game for the Ravens, giving him his first strike and leaving us with just Snakes and Racefan at zero strikes.

Kmd takes the L as the 'Boys get the upset and add another wrinkle to the worst division in football. Did you know that it's still possible for the Eagles to make the playoffs at 4-11-1?

Week 12 begins!

Some sort of scare for just about everyone to have made a pick today as the Vikes go to overtime, the Raiders need a last-second pass, and the Packers nearly give up a big fourth-quarter lead. Gamma's pick plays Tuesday night, so I figured we may as well get the next round started now in case anyone wants to pick Pats/Rams.

Four years ago, I attended my first and only football game - a mid-season matchup between the post-Fitzpatrick Jets (in Bryce Petty's first start), and the pre-McVay Rams (in Case Keenum's last). In an absolute barnburner of a game, the Rams pulled off a 9-6 victory in a game in which one total touchdown was scored (by the Jets, amazingly!), and the Jets blew it with an interception at three minutes left in the fourth quarter that caused me to get up and leave MetLife.

The first matchup since then between these teams...will not be nearly as close or as interesting as that one.

Gamma's hail mary doesn't pay off, and the Jets win gives Racefan his first strike (and takes me out of the game). Four remain - Snakes on no strikes, Racefan and Poker on one, and Micc on two. Given that Micc's two strikes were weeks one and two, he's on a 13-game streak and can still force a tie!

Also Gregg Williams is supposedly better than Brandon Staley (Rams defensive coordinators) this one is a bit of a trip given Williams’s recent employment history

Racefan bets against the Jets again and it doesn't pay off again; Micc's streak of correct picks ends at 13 with the Bengals' win. PokerFace clinches survival of the season, and Snakes clinches the win in this year's competition!
