Seahawked! Bengaled!

And then there were two.

• Mike Robinson doesn't know his birds. Cardinals over Seahawks 25-17.
• Aaron Stein -- last year's grand champion, and the only man on the planet to never miss an Eliminizer pick -- got bamboozled by the Bengals.

Now we find ourselves with two contestants owning nearly identical chicken indices, only nine weeks left in the season, and a year's worth of groceries at stake.

Can you stand it?  No.  Nobody can.

A Texas-sized mistake!!

Blair Cumming and Mike Pettypiece obviously haven't been listening to George Bush preaching "Don't mess with Texas!".
The Houston Texans pulled off an upset Sunday over the floundering Titans to knock two more people out of the Eliminizer.
Guys, may I suggest a movie night? You two could console each other and spoon on the couch watching this classic:

There's gonna be a showdown

Week Six.  Six Eliminizer contestants.  Six Laker Lager for $6.60

What does it all add up to?  An Eliminizer Showdown, that's what.
Will someone win outright?  Or will the dreaded Chicken Index be a factor?

Here's a Chicken Index vs. Eliminizer Contestificant Histogram:

And then there were... six!

Pick your favorite finalist, and cheer them to victory! Or beat them with a sock full of quaters. Either way.

The Eliminizer bids farewell to Kevin Kells, Harp, and Les Nessman. Your many weeks of hard work has earned you a top-ten finish... in a winner-take-all pool.

Also, consider this: If the Eliminizer wraps up in the next couple of weeks, we can hold a Reliminizer and you can throw away even more of your hard-earned money.

Sure-fire ways to lose the Eliminizer

1. Not making a pick without an appropriate default team
The HedgeHog, we hardly knew ya. At least you got to drown yourself in booze all weekend.
2. Answering yes to this question: "They can't lose at home again , can they"?
Congrats to Dan Kim, James Pitts, and Jeff Boyd for not paying attention to what happened to the 13 people who chose Green Bay in Week 2. Furthermore, betting against a man of God is just plain askin for it.
