Survivor pool

Run a free NFL survivor pool with friends

One NFL team a week. It wins, you survive; it loses, you're out. Each team can only be used once a season, so the real game is saving the good ones for later. Last one standing wins.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick one team

    Each week, pick one NFL team you think will win its game. You can change it until that game kicks off.

  2. 2

    Survive the week

    Your team wins: you move on. It loses, or you forget to pick: you burn a strike, or you're out.

  3. 3

    Outlast everyone

    Every team you use is gone for the rest of the season. The last player standing wins the pool.

Survivor on Endzoned

  • Survivor is a game any group can switch on in its settings (off by default).
  • Strikes: 0, 1 (default) or 2 failed weeks forgiven before you're eliminated. No pick counts as a loss.
  • Tie games: your group decides whether a tie keeps you alive (default) or knocks you out.
  • Variants: reverse mode (pick a team that must lose), double weeks from the week you choose (two teams, both must win) and a one-time rebuy until a week you set.
  • Playoff round: a fresh start over the four playoff weeks, every team available again.
  • Your pick locks at its game's kickoff. Other players' picks show up only once their game has started; everyone's used teams are visible.
  • Points in the group standings: 1 pt per week survived and 5 pts for the winner by default (shared by co-winners).

Questions fans ask

What is an NFL survivor pool?

Also called an eliminator or last man standing pool: every week you pick one team to win, you can't use a team twice, and one wrong pick sends you home. The last player alive wins.

What happens if I miss a week?

No pick counts as a loss: it costs a strike if your group allows them, otherwise you're out. Pick reminders by email or push help you never miss one.

Can I join a survivor pool late?

Yes, as long as the weeks you missed fit in your strikes: each missed week counts as a loss.

What if everyone is eliminated the same week?

Then the players knocked out that last week share the win as co-winners. Players still alive after week 18 are co-winners too.

Does it cost anything?

No: no entry fee, no ads and no betting. Survivor is one of the free games any Endzoned group can switch on.
