The survivor contest has become a popular contest in football betting at the sportsbook. It is where you pick 1 squad to win each week in the course of the NFL year.



While the contest does not normally include the NFL betting point spread, it is quite often just as hard to pick the straight up champ.

The point spread is not that critical since football betting in the NFL is usually all about picking the straight up champ in any case. When you get into a survivor contest the goal is to pick 1 squad to win each week. Once a squad has been used you cannot pick them again, since you can only use that squad one time for the year. What things do you need to remember and how do you go about winning a survivor contest?

Not worrying about saving teams for later in the year is the 1st thing about a survivor contest. Pick the squad you think will win this week and worry about next week later. You cannot get picky if you want to survive. Take the Colts if you think they will win at home versus Jacksonville. It is a quite great idea to always pick a home team when you are in a survivor contest. Home teams win more than road teams and you cannot be guessing as to when a home team will lose.

If you are wondering which squad to pick for a given week and cannot decide then remember to go versus a losing squad that is on the road. If the Bills or Lions are on the road then you could want to go against them. Another thing to bear in mind with a survivor contest is that you truly do not want to be picking a competition where the line is modest. It’s truly hard to decide on who will win if you have a competition between Green Bay and Minnesota so just avoid that type of competition. Late in the year if you are still alive in the survivor contest, bear in mind that playoff teams are not the ones to use. Teams that have already clinched a spot have nothing to play for, so you probably shouldn’t go with them. They simply will not be as motivated as a squad fighting to earn their place in the playoffs.

Keeping involved in NFL betting throughout the year is effortless and fun with the survivor contest. You can pick 1 squad each week to win and see how long you can stay alive. Keep some of these tips in mind as you look to win your survivor contest this year.
