FootballSurvivor
Choose one winner every week, never make the same pick twice, and outlast your pool. One wrong call can change everything.
Last player standing
One team. One week. No second chances.
A simple weekly ritual that gets tougher as your best options disappear from the board.
A wrong pick costs a life
Miss the call and you’re out—unless your pool uses lives.
Use each team once
Every selection closes one path and makes the next week harder.
Every week
Make one pick before kickoff
See every matchup, compare the pool’s confidence, and change your selection any time before your chosen game starts.
Outlast the pool
Watch the field get smaller
Correct picks move on. Wrong picks drop out. The leaderboard makes every close game personal until one player remains.
Straight or spread
Set the difficulty your way
Pick outright winners with Straight scoring, or make every matchup count by asking teams to cover the listed spread.

Frequently asked questions
How does Sleeper’s NFL Survivor game mode work?
Each week, pick one NFL team you think will win. A correct pick advances; a wrong pick eliminates you. The last player standing wins.
Can I pick the same team more than once?
No. You can only select each NFL team once per season.
What happens if my game ends in a tie?
If an NFL game ends in a tie and you picked either team, you’re eliminated.
What scoring formats are available?
Pools can use Straight scoring for outright winners or Spread scoring, where your selection must cover the listed point spread.
Can I change my pick?
Yes. You can change your pick any time before your selected game kicks off.
When do spreads lock?
Spreads begin locking Tuesday mornings. A lock icon appears once a team’s spread is fixed, but lines may change before then.
