NFL Survivor Pools, (also known as Knockout, Eliminator, Suicide, Last Man Standing, or King of the Hill Pools) are quickly growing in popularity across the country as some operators offer up to $1 Million to the ultimate winners!

Survivor pools vary in rules, but in general you pick a team that will win each week. If the team wins you advance to the next week. If you lose you are eliminated from the contest. The catch is that you can only use each team once. The last user remaining wins the pool. There is a lot of strategy involved in determining the optimal path to making it to the end. If you use all the good teams early you will be left picking teams that are more likely to lose later in the season. If you use poor teams at the start you may be eliminated before your strategy really starts to develop. We provide you with point spreads for each week as well as the quality of each teams schedule to help you determine an optimal path!
