Welcome to the most nerve-wracking NFL fantasy game on the planet.

The beauty of Eliminator Challenge lies in its simplicity: every week you're asked to pick the winner of one NFL game straight up. If the team you choose prevails then you advance! The only caveat? You can only use a team once during the season.

And so the strategic intricacies and decisions emerge. Do you map out the entire schedule ahead of time, assuming the teams you feel are strong at the start of the season can remain that way for all 17 weeks? Do you take the biggest favorite every week and hope to consistently survive the dreaded upset? Perhaps you save an elite team for a juicy matchup down the road and rely on one that's less favorable to carry you through.

In the NFL nothing comes easy. It's usually the matchup you overlook that gets the better of you, and if that happens your season is over. That's right: if you lose even once you're out. While harsh in its abruptness, the challenge of having to survive and advance each and every week is what makes this so fun to play.

The Chiefs (-10 v. HOU) are the biggest Week 1 favorites. Do you burn them early with a good shot to live for another week or do you stash them for later?
