NFL Survivor Pool Guides

A survivor pool (also called an elimination pool or knockout pool) is one of the most popular ways to enjoy the NFL season with friends, family, or coworkers. Each week you pick one team to win — but you can only use each team once all season. One loss and you're out.

Why Run a Survivor Pool?

Easy to understand — even casual fans can play
Season-long engagement — keeps everyone invested week after week
Low time commitment — one pick per week takes 30 seconds
Built-in drama — the field shrinks every week until one person remains
