NFL Survivor Pool strategy: Best options for Week 4 after consensus Chiefs take care of business
With questionable options behind a few standout plays, we could see Survivor Pools grouped around only a few teams this week


For the second week in a row, those who rode with the biggest favorite in NFL Survivor Pools made it through with ease, while those looking for a pivot had to sweat out survival. The Chiefs left no doubt with their win over the Dolphins, and with more than half of the remaining field in Circa Survivor on Kansas City, a stumble would have been the most disastrous loss to date after two weeks of impactful upsets. Instead, it was the Seahawks, the second-most popular team in that contest, who took the loss and eliminated 1,111 entries as a result. After the Seahawks, the seven most popular picks either faced tight matchups in the fourth quarter or lost outright.
Where does that leave things heading into Week 4? We have two huge favorites in the Ravens, who host the Titans, and the Vikings, who host the Dolphins, and the latter will surely be a popular play as Survivors continue to fade the worst team in the league. Will it make sense to follow the herd again, or is backing the Ravens the better play? Is there a pivot beyond those two big favorites that makes sense? We'll break it all down below.
