Welcome to week 11 of the BGN suicide pool, where thanks to the Packers pulling through we still have 11 players left, instead of 2. Lucky us right. Maybe we should have been more reserved about the piling on the Packers due to their weakness to the run and the Jags breakout running back, but it was fine. The didn't have much trouble dealing with the 49ers either. The only people that got eliminated this week were the two who picked the terrible Philadelphia Eagles. Congrats to everyone who were able to use the Eagles at some point this season because I wouldn't pick them against anyone today.

Rules
RULES
- Each pool member chooses one NFL team
- Picks are made "straight up." No spreads are being used in this pool.
- If you make a correct pick, then congratulations! You advance to the next week. You make an incorrect pick, then you will be eliminated.
- Ties count as a win. As a show of respect, this will now be known as the Brandon Lee Gowton Rule.
- You can only pick a team once per season (if you pick the Eagles in Week 1, you won't be able to pick them again that season). You will be able to see the teams you have picked so far in a table that will be included in the Suicide Pool fanposts.
- Reminder: Your picks aren't locked until the the scheduled kick off of the game you've picked for. You can change your pick up until that time.
- Regarding COVID Cancellations and Postpoments: Unless your game gets canceled with 1 hour of the scheduled start time, it is up to you to change your pick to a valid team. Here is a site that eman found: https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/Home.aspx. Use this to keep up with NFL news of cancellations and the sort. If a player on your team or the opposing team tests positive, I would suggest being alert to a possible postponement.
- Last player standing wins
- If all players advance past week 17, then we will go into the playoffs. If we make it to the Super Bowl and both players want to choose the same team or there are more than 2 players in contention, then we will also predict the final score to the game. Whoever is closer wins.
