What is an NFL Survivor pool?
In a survivor pool, each entrant picks a team each week. If that team wins, the entrant survives to the next week. If the team loses, the entrant is eliminated.
Elimination format
A losing pick removes an entry unless the host allows second chances or buybacks.
No app required
Participants can make picks and follow standings from desktop or mobile browsers.
