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 Seahawks handled their business as Week 7's most popular pick, but major upsets to the Bills, 49ers and others took out another 33% of the field. Smaller pools are likely down to their last few weeks, and bigger pools like DraftKings' $10 buy-in contest are down to around 10% of the field remaining.
