NFL Survivor Pool strategy: Should you back the Texans? Best options for Week 7 include a few pivots
The Texans are sure to be popular in NFL Survivor Pools as the biggest favorite on the board by far in Week 7


We once again saw a huge amount of NFL Survivor Pool entries go down in Week 6 with losses by the Rams and Colts, two of the three most popular options in Circa Survivor by a wide margin. We actually cautioned against both in this column last week, instead taking the Chiefs as our top play as a team we thought should be double-digit favorites but would go underused in Survivor pools.
The Week 7 slate brings one huge favorite that figures to be the consensus favorite once again but fewer potential clear pivots, so we may see grouping around the Texans as they host a Giants team that has looked lost for much of their recent games and then tries to rally back. We go over whether it's worth casting your lot with the consensus pick this week or pivoting to another option below.
