Fanatics Sportsbook NFL Survivor Pool: What It Is & How It Works
Fanatics Sportsbook NFL Survivor Pool
Have you ever played in an NFL survivor pool? Maybe you've made your weekly picks for a chance to win money at the end of the season — but you probably haven't played for a share of $100k. That's exactly what Fanatics Sportsbook is offering users this NFL season!
With Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL Survivor Pool, you can log into the app and make your pick each week for a team you think will win — the biggest caveat is that you can't choose a team more than once — and if you make it all the way to the end of the season, Fanatics will give you a share of $100,000 in FanCash and even more prizes on top of that!
Playing Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL Survivor Pool is easy. Here's how to participate:
- Log in to the Fanatics Sportsbook app
- Find "NFL Survivor" in the homepage carousel or listed along the featured sports near the top of the page
- Choose one team each week you think will win — remember that you can only choose each team one time all season long
- Earn a share of $100k in FanCash plus more rewards if you make it to the end of the season without losing!
Is this your first NFL survivor pool? There's some conventional knowledge you should know before participating. Because you can only choose a team one time, it's smart to try to save the best teams for later in the season — you don't want to rely on a subpar team to get a W in Week 18 to win the pool, after all.
The best NFL survivor pool players identify decent teams with favorable matchups early in the season, then begin to choose top-tier teams toward the end of the season when it can be more difficult to find a favorable matchup.
