Flexible rules you can customizeWe offer the best formats
Survivor Pools
Pool participants choose one NFL team each week that they think will win. If you're wrong — you're out!
Also known as suicide, eliminator, knock-out and last man standing pools.
Custom rules and scoring options available
- Each participant chooses one team per week
- Picks are made “straight up” — no point spread
- If the pick is correct, they survive to the next week
- An incorrect pick eliminates the player from the pool for the remainder of the season
- No repicks — be strategic with your picks
Pick 'em Pools
Everyone picks from the same slate of games each week and the most correct picks wins. Play against the spread or “straight up” — your pool, your rules.
Custom rules and scoring options available
- Set how many games each participant picks per week
- Play against the spread, or “straight up” if you’d rather keep it simple
- Nominate one pick a week as your best bet — it’s worth double
- Lines come from the sportsbooks and freeze before kickoff
- Points build all season and the leaderboard updates as games go final
Over/Under Pools
Forget who wins. Participants pick whether each game finishes over or under its combined points total.
Custom rules and scoring options available
- Pick the over or the under on each game’s total points
- Who wins doesn’t matter — only the final combined score
- Totals come from the sportsbooks and freeze before kickoff
- Half-point lines keep ties off the table
- Scored like a pick ’em pool, with the same weekly leaderboard
Reverse Survivor Pools
Survivor turned upside down. Each week you back one team to lose — if they win, you’re out.
Custom rules and scoring options available
- Each participant picks one team per week
- You’re backing them to lose, so a win knocks you out
- Picks are made “straight up” — no point spread
- A tie eliminates nobody; everyone lives to the next week
- No repicks — each team can only be used once
