"ESPN Eliminator Challenge is one of the most fun games to play this NFL season. The rules are simple: pick one team, and as long as they win (or tie), you advance to the next round. If they lose, you are out. The caveat is you cannot pick the same team twice. If you've made it this far, give yourself a pat on the back."
"Week 5 finally featured the chaos Eliminator Challenge is typically known for. Three of the five biggest favorites lost last week, making it the first time since 2015 where three underdogs of at least 7 points lost outright. The Arizona Cardinals were the most popular pick last week, and they blew a 15-point fourth-quarter lead, made more possible by Emari Demercado's early celebration just before going in for a touchdown, which resulted in a fumble out of the end zone."
The Eliminator format requires selecting one team each week; a chosen team must win or tie to advance, and no team may be chosen twice. Week 5 produced unusual chaos with three of the five biggest favorites losing, the first time since 2015 that three underdogs of at least seven points won outright. The Arizona Cardinals surrendered a 15-point fourth-quarter lead after Emari Demercado's early celebration led to a fumble out of the end zone. Nine upsets in Week 5 eliminated more than half of remaining entries. Week 6 presents the Green Bay Packers as the clearest selection over the Cincinnati Bengals.
