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. If the team wins they advance to the next week, if they lose they’re out! Seems easy enough right? Think again. Even the most skilled players can be eliminated early on. And to spice things up even more, there are a number of variations you can introduce into your Survivor pool and we offer them all here on Gridiron Games.</p><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Against the Spread</p></div><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Double Elimination</p></div><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Multiple Entries</p></div><div class=col-md-3 style="margin-bottom: 20px"><p style="font-size: 1.2em"><i class="fa fa-football-ball"></i>Flexible Start Weeks</p></div></div></div><a id=create-pool-survivor-1 class=ga-event-clicked-link href=/create-new-pool/ ><button class=game-button>Create Your NFL Survivor Pool Now!</button></a><p style="text-align: center;font-size: 1.1em;margin: 10px 0px 0px">Looking to join an existing pool? <a id=join-pool-survivor-1 class=ga-event-clicked-link href=/join-existing-pool/ >Join here</a>.</p></div><h2 class="game-title" style="margin: 40px 0px">Tired of filling out your weekly picks with pen and paper?</h2><div style="padding: 0px 20px 20px"><p style="text-align: center;font-size: 1.2em;margin-bottom: 40px">Running an NFL Survivor pool can be a lot of work.
