Well, let me tell you somethin’ about this NFL survivor pool thing. It’s a real head-scratcher, but I think I got the gist of it. You see, it’s like pickin’ apples from a tree, but instead of apples, you’re pickin’ football teams. And you gotta pick a winner each week. That is how this “survivor pool” thing works.
Now, I ain’t no football expert, you know. My old man used to watch it all the time, yellin’ at the TV like those players could hear him. But this survivor pool, it’s a whole different ball game. You gotta pick one team, just one, every week to win their game. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong!

You see, if your team wins, you’re good. You get to move on to the next week and pick another team. It’s like climbin’ a ladder, one rung at a time. But here’s the kicker – if your team loses, you’re out. Done. Finito. Like a chicken with its head cut off, you’re just runnin’ around with nowhere to go. No more pickin’ teams, no more nothin’. NFL survivor pool is tough!
- You pick one team each week.
- If they win, you keep goin’.
- If they lose, you’re out of the pool.
Now, they got all these fancy names for it – NFL survivor pool, they call it. Sounds like somethin’ you’d see on one of them fancy TV shows. But it’s just a bunch of folks pickin’ football teams, tryin’ to be the last one standin’. Like a game of musical chairs, but with football teams instead of chairs.
And let me tell you, it ain’t easy. You gotta know somethin’ about these teams. Which ones are good, which ones are bad, which ones are gonna win, which ones are gonna lose. It’s like tryin’ to predict the weather – you just never know what’s gonna happen.
They say there are 16 games each week in this NFL thing. I don’t know why so many, seems like a lot of running around to me. I heard there is a thing called Saturday Slate, well, they have games on Saturday. I don’t know why, what’s wrong with Sunday? I guess they just like football so much, they play it all the time.
But in this survivor pool, you only gotta worry about the one team you pick. Just one. And you gotta hope they win, or else you’re out. So there will be 16 correct answers each week. It will be very difficult to always make the right choice.

And you can’t pick the same team twice. Nope. Once you pick a team, that’s it. You can’t pick ’em again. It’s like eatin’ all the cookies in the jar – once they’re gone, they’re gone. You gotta find another team to pick. The NFL survivor pool is quite tricky.
So, it’s a real gamble, this survivor pool. You’re bettin’ on these teams to win, week after week. And if you’re wrong just once, you’re out. It’s like walkin’ a tightrope – one slip, and you fall.
I heard some folks, they play for money. They put in a little money at the beginnin’, and the last one standin’ wins it all. Like a big pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But I don’t know about that. Seems like a lot of fuss over a game. But, I guess everyone enjoys the survivor pool.
But hey, I reckon it’s a good way to keep folks entertained. Keeps ’em guessin’, keeps ’em on their toes. And who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky and pick all the right teams. Maybe you’ll be the last one standin’, the survivor. And that is the NFL survivor pool.
So, that’s how this NFL survivor pool works, best I can figure. It’s a game of luck, a game of skill, and a whole lot of guessin’. You pick a team, you hope they win, and you try to stay in the game longer than everyone else. Just remember to choose wisely, or you will be out of the pool in no time. It’s as simple as that, or as complicated as that, dependin’ on how you look at it. But that’s it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my garden. These tomatoes ain’t gonna pick themselves.
