NFL Survivor Toolkit

I've teamed up with Pool Genius/Pick Sheet on a Survivor Pool, which is free to play. Prizes will include free subscription to Betting with Bearman newsletters.

Since 2017, PoolGenius subscribers have reported winning their NFL survivor pools 2.8x as often as expected, given their pool size. That edge comes from a strategy built around your pool's exact rules, size, and payout structure, not generic advice or just picking the same team as everyone else. Start a free trial through Week 1 and use PoolGenius to optimize your Week 1 pick and plan your path through the season.
