Six so far.

If you're not familiar with survivor pools, it's pretty simple. Pick one team a week to win. If they win, you advance to the next week. If they lose, you're out of the pool. The tricky part is, you can only use a team once for the entire season.

Bring it on 'scapers!

I'd do it if a) it were for money and b) I knew a damn thing about the NFL these days. Unfortunately neither of those things apply.

Up to nine [edit: make that ten] with five days to go...

Sass, you don't have to know anything about football for this simple game. Make a list of cities you'd like to visit in the US and pick off that. Sorry, Cleveland Browns...

Here's one for money: http://www.nflsurvivor.com/

If anyone wishes to make side-bets, no problem. Of course you'd have to trust each other to pay up if you lose. Interestingly, I'd guess that this community, which is itself based on a game that encourages deceit, is a rather honest lot when it comes to RL.

Up to 11 (louder than 10).

I would have looked like a genius, but for Lavonte David's stupidity. What other week would you pick Tampa to win?

I have to agree. David's dumb mistake saves the Jets, and Schiano is just about in tears in the press conference. I almost picked Tampa as well.

Rex Ryan is a genius!!! (no, not really...)

It was almost 10 losers in week 1 if Indy hadn't of pulled out a win. Narrow escape!
