Video: NFL Week 4 Survivor Picks & Tips (2025)

Stephen Andress and Jason Lisk both cashed in major NFL Survivor contests last season, and they are here to guide your Week 4 picks.


If you’re looking for NFL Survivor Week 4 strategy and picks, you’re in the right place. The big question this week: Do you burn the Buffalo Bills now as massive favorites, or hold them for a later spot when safe choices are scarce?

If Buffalo ends up as the most popular play on the slate, is the leverage worth fading them? And if you pass on the Bills, which alternatives — like Houston, New England, Denver, Detroit, or Green Bay — strike the right balance of safety and long-term planning?

As lead analyst Jason Lisk notes in the Week 4 video, the optimal path always depends on the dynamics of your specific pool.
