Rules & Format

How a Survivor Pool Works

Each week of the NFL season, you'll pick one team to win their game. If your pick wins, you survive. If they lose, you're eliminated.

There's just one catch:

You can't pick the same team twice. That means strategy matters, you'll need to plan ahead and choose your picks wisely.

The pool continues week after week until there's only one entry left standing. If all entries are eliminated before the season ends, the last surviving entries win.

The Road to Survival

272 games

32 teams

18 weeks

1 pick per week

Built for Hosts & Players

Set up your pool in minutes, invite friends, and manage entries with ease. Your entrants can easily make weekly picks and see where they stand on the leaderboard.
