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.
Despite two previously unbeaten teams dropping their first games of the season, it was a relatively calm week in survivor for Week 6.
The Eagles and 49ers combined to eliminate about 11% of the field, with the four most popular options – including all three of our recommendations – moving on. Hopefully you avoided those landmines and keep it rolling into the middle third of the NFL season.
