The survivor concept is simple: Pick one team to win an NFL game every week. No spreads or totals – just winners. Once you use that team, you can't use them again – creating an element of strategy and long-term planning that makes these contests deceptively difficult.
Fortunately, this year we're partnering with our friends at Pool Genius to make things easier. They've built slate-leading tools to help conquer a variety of pool contests, including survivor.
The chalk took care of business again in Week 5, with both Miami and Detroit rolling to easy wins as the two most popular teams. It was a tough week to get contrarian, with the slightly popular Commanders taking out 9% of the field, while Buffalo and Baltimore took out another 6%.
With more than 15% of the field being eliminated, we&# x27;re a step closer to the end in most smaller pools – here's how we'll look to make it one more week.
