"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."
"The Ravens are the biggest favorites this week according to both ESPN Analytics and the betting market. It's their easiest game the rest of the season. There is value in saving them, as they will be one of the five biggest favorites in three of the next four weeks. However, the Ravens are 47-0 all-time as double-digit favorites in the regular season, and it's hard to envision a bottom-feeder Jets squad pulling off the upset."
Eliminator Challenge requires picking a different team each week; a pick advances if the team wins or ties and elimination occurs upon a loss. Last week had fewer than 6% of entrants knocked out, and only nine underdogs of six points or more have won all season. Only 3.4% of entrants from Week 1 remain, leaving seven weeks to go and making long-term planning essential. The Baltimore Ravens and Seattle Seahawks project as the heaviest chalks, facing very weak opponents, while several other teams offer lower-ownership alternatives. The Ravens present high win equity and historic dominance as double-digit favorites.
