Survivor NFL contests are a popular way for football fans to test their knowledge and make some extra cash. The premise is simple: pick one team each week that you think will win, and if they do, you move on to the next week. If they lose, you’re out of the contest.

Winning a Survivor NFL contest requires a combination of skill and luck. Here are some tips to help you come out on top:

  1. Do your research. Don’t just blindly pick the team with the best record or the biggest star players. Look at the matchup for the week and consider factors like home-field advantage, injuries, and recent performance. If you’re lucky enough to survive after the first five or six games, don’t be afraid to lay out a plan of attack and stick to it. This could be the only way to navigate through the gauntlet as it gets more difficult each week.

  1. Don’t be afraid to take a risk. Sometimes the safest pick isn’t the best pick. If you think a team is going to pull off an upset, go for it. Just make sure you have a solid reason for your decision.
  2. Don’t get too attached to any one team. If you pick a team and they lose, it’s time to move on to the next week. Don’t let loyalty to a team or player cloud your judgment.
  3. Pay attention to the rules. Some Survivor NFL contests have different rules, such as allowing you to pick the same team multiple times or giving you a “mulligan” if you miss a week. Make sure you understand the rules and use them to your advantage.
  4. Stay disciplined. It can be tempting to chase after a big payout by picking a long shot, but stick to your strategy and don’t get carried away. Remember, the goal is to survive as long as possible, not to win a single week.

By following these tips and staying disciplined, you can increase your chances of winning a Survivor NFL contest. Good luck and may the best survivor win!
