Tap in the order you want them used, up to three. Anyone still level after them shares the title.

A tied game

Only a full pro football season has ties. Playoff games and college games always have a winner. Tie rules explained

Full-season Pro Football Survivor rules (2027 preview)

  1. Each entry picks one team to win every week from Week 1 to Week 18.
  2. Each team can be used only once a season.
  3. Picks lock at each week’s first kickoff.
  4. A losing pick knocks the entry out.
  5. So does a missed pick.
  6. A tied game keeps the pick alive (it survives, but it isn’t a win).
  7. A cancelled game counts as a win; a postponed one is ruled on by the commissioner.
  8. The entry that survives the most weeks wins. Ties share the title.
