Nfl Elimination Pool Picks
Also known as an NFL Eliminator pool, NFL Knockout pool, or NFL Suicide pool, NFL Survivor is the ultimate challenge of win or go home. Players compete by picking one team each week that they believe will win, with the kicker being a team may only be selected once for the entire year.
Helping you make picks for your Survivor, Suicide, or Knockout football pool, for one week or the whole season.

How our Survivor Grid Works
How to select your picks
The NFL teams you will choose are shown on the left. Their opponents are shown for each week, along with either the actual point spread (in black) or the an estimated point spread (in red) for the game. The brighter the green background, the more the team you are choosing is favored. To choose a team for a certain week, click on the opponent.
Pick percentages
Pick percentages of how many people took each team for the current week are shown on the left. To see percentages for a different week, simply click the week heading.
Sorting the grid
Click on the column headings to sort the grid. You can sort by the weekly spreads, future value, or pick percentages.
Bookmarking your selections

Survivor Pick Suggestions

Welcome to the most nerve-wracking NFL fantasy game on the planet.
The beauty of Eliminator Challenge lies in its simplicity: every week you're asked to pick the winner of one NFL game straight up. If the team you choose prevails then you advance! The only caveat? You can only use a team once during the season.

And so the strategic intricacies and decisions emerge. Do you map out the entire schedule ahead of time, assuming the teams you feel are strong at the start of the season can remain that way for all 17 weeks? Do you take the biggest favorite every week and hope to consistently survive the dreaded upset? Perhaps you save an elite team for a juicy matchup down the road and rely on one that's less favorable to carry you through.
In the NFL nothing comes easy. It's usually the matchup you overlook that gets the better of you, and if that happens your season is over. That's right: if you lose even once you're out. While harsh in its abruptness, the challenge of having to survive and advance each and every week is what makes this so fun to play.
The Chiefs (-10 v. HOU) are the biggest Week 1 favorites. Do you burn them early with a good shot to live for another week or do you stash them for later?
You'll have to eventually select 17 of the 32 teams if you want to go the distance so a Super Bowl contender can't always be in your corner.
Whatever you choose to do there's sure to be a time when you're sitting on the edge of your couch wondering why you decided to stake your entire season on a team that's now losing in the 4th Quarter. It's inevitable. But there's sure to be another week when you're in the clear and good percentage of your competitors are facing a similar situation. Enjoy the ride!
