NFL Survivor Pool strategy: Best options for Week 6 feature one massive favorite and a few pivots to consider
Where you go in survivor this week depends on the amount of risk you want to take


Last week brought another massive elimination in NFL survivor pools, with the Cowboys taking down 40% or more of remaining entries in some large pools. Depending on pool rules, the Commanders may have also eliminated quite a few entries, as many pools will not advance teams that tie. Chalk up more victims of Washington's clock mismanagement in overtime than the team itself.
While the Cowboys were the only big home favorites last week, the Week 6 slate provides several home options favored by at least seven points to choose from, including one massive favorite in the Rams, who host the Cardinals. Is that the preferred play for your survivor pool, or should you pivot to another great but potentially underselected option? We break it down below.
