2021 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 (ie. they lose or tie), 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
*shudders*
18 (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 longest streak of correct picks
3. 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

A tie game is considered a loss for both teams, and a Strike will be given to anybody that picked either tying team.

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.

Final Standings:

Sadly Snakes’s streak of 19 correct picks in a row comes to an end with the Steelers’ loss to Cincy.

Week four!

Snakes drops down to one strike with the Pittsburgh loss, HockeyFan goes to two strikes for the same reason. Kilgamayan also down to two strikes by not submitting. Nero, Gamma, Aronis, Micc, Pablito, Midway, and Poker get to three correct picks and currently have the lead.

Only one incorrect pick this week, Midway's pick of the Raiders (something something images that precede unfortunate events). But IPS no-submits and strikes out, and Nero no-submits to get his first strike.

:igmeou:
Would’ve been fine a couple years ago when MNF started at 8:20, but they moved it to 8:15 2-3 years back. Just need to be consistent here before someone changes their pick at 1:01 to a team that gets a kickoff return TD to start a game.

Gamma, Midway, and Poker get strikes for not foreseeing the Jets win over the Bengals. Kilga picks Detroit for some reason and strikes out, Jmj strikes out potentially because he thought Aaron Rodgers's Covid woes were last week, and I lose because Sam Darnold briefly stopped seeing ghosts.
