Video: NFL Week 3 Survivor Picks & Tips (2025)

Stephen Andress and Jason Lisk both took down sizable NFL Survivor pools last season, and they are here to guide your Week 3 picks.


If you’re searching for NFL Survivor Week 3 picks and strategy advice, you’re in the right spot. Should you use the Bills this week, or hold them for a future spot when options might be thinner? If Buffalo is the most popular pick on the board, how valuable is the leverage you gain by pivoting away? And if you pass on the Bills, do Seattle, Tampa Bay, or Kansas City offer the right balance of safety and upside?

As lead analyst Jason Lisk explains in the Week 3 video, the best move comes down to the dynamics of your specific pool.
