Official ItB.com Contest: 2008 Survivor Thread
 

It's about that time.

Sorry, too much else on my plate this year. But, by all means, help yourselves.

Let's do it and just try to police ourselves in case I miss something. Winner gets an ItB.com t-shirt mailed to them anywhere in the 50-state U.S.A.

For the uninitiated, you pick one winner each week. Only catch is you are not allowed to pick the same team twice. Once your pick loses, you are out of the contest. You can only pick a winner before kickoff of the team's game that week (i.e the Monday Night rule... if you forget to make a pick before the weekend, you can still make a pick on Monday night before kickoff to stay alive).

It would help me a TON if when you pick in future weeks you also include the teams you picked in previous weeks. Anything else I missed? Let's get it started!

I'll take the Detroit Lions.

Ill take Dallas.

Houston Texans for the win!
