No duplicate-team mistakes
OPH remembers every team you have used so commissioners do not have to police the honor system.
NFL survivor pools
Pick one NFL team each week. Survive until everyone else is out.
Survivor pools are simple to explain and brutal to win. OPH tracks who is alive, who picked whom, and what happens when teams lose.
No credit card · Paper and online picks · Free forever
In an NFL survivor pool, each player selects one team to win each week. You cannot pick the same team twice. If your team loses, you are eliminated. Last player standing wins.
How it works
Three steps to a running pool
-
1
Launch the survivor pool
Create an NFL survivor pool and invite players. Set whether picks are hidden until lock or visible to the group.
-
2
Pick one team per week
Each survivor picks exactly one team to win. OPH blocks re-using a team you already picked earlier in the season.
-
3
Eliminations update automatically
When a picked team loses, that player is out. Standings show survivors, eliminations, and pick history.
Why Office Pool Hub
Built for commissioners and players
Works for large groups
Survivor pools are popular in big offices. OPH handles entry limits, reminders, and weekly pick tracking.
Paper-friendly intake
Some players still write their pick on a sticky note. Admins can enter survivor picks from paper just like pick'em sheets.
FAQ
Common questions
What happens if everyone gets eliminated?
Some offices restart or roll survivors into a new pool. OPH lets the commissioner manage entries and continue the season.
Can I pick a team on a bye week?
No. Your pick must be a team playing that week. OPH only shows eligible matchups.
Are survivor picks secret until kickoff?
Pool settings and timing determine visibility. Many offices lock picks before the first game of the week.
Is a survivor pool good for casual players?
Yes. The rules are easy: pick one winner, do not repeat teams. It is often easier to explain than confidence pools.
