2023 Nitro NFL Survivor Pools Week 12 Recap

By Jeff Stinger

Week 12 was as eventful as it could be with the Thanksgiving and Black Friday Games delivering even more drama on the gridiron. And with no teams on bye this past week to gobble-gobble up our attention, there was bound to be a major shake-up over in our Nitro NFL Survivor Pools, which is already on the brink of deciding the ultimate survivors in our eight main buy-in pools. Are we about to crown one of our many winners this exact week?

Nitrobetting is here to take your bets into the end zone this 2023 NFL season. This time, let’s take a closer look at what transpired in the intense Week 12 action of our Nitro NFL Survivor Pools campaign. 

2023 Nitro NFL Survivor Pools: Week 12 Recap

Thankful for Our First Winner


Nitrobetting continues to deliver the best NFL survivor experience on the web with its 2023 Nitro NFL Survivor Pool contests with a total prize purse worth over 6 BTC (~$225,000) across multiple public and private survivor pools.

Week 12’s stacked schedule didn’t have as many upsets as expected, but a couple of matchups were huge factors in this week’s survivor activities. The Packers beating the Lions on Turkey Day set the tone immediately, and the week was book-ended with another NFC North upset of a showdown when the Bears stunned the Vikings on Monday night.

NFL on Thanksgiving is surely a blessing to us football fans, but all the more so for one particular Nitrobetting user of ours who secured the first official win in our eight main Nitro NFL Survivor Pools that began play in Week 1. Our heartfelt congratulations go out to NB user ID 232008 for outlasting the competition as the sole survivor in our top-prized Nitrogen Pool! Our lucky and loyal patron here will take home a whopping 2,590 mBTC (~$96,000) all to themselves!

Shoutouts go to the recent winners over in a handful of our other restart pools. Our Week 9 Restart Prospect Pool, Week 9 Restart Captain Pool, and Week 10 Restart Captain Pool have all been decided for even more servings of winning Thanksgiving leftovers! 

Here’s how the 2023 Nitro NFL Survivor Pool landscape looks after Week 12:

NFL Survivor Picks for Week 13


There are a lot of tight matchups in Week 13 and that’s even with six teams going on bye in the upcoming week. That said, finding a survivor gem in the rough will be as tricky as ever. No team is currently favored to win by double digits against the spread to date, but we have a couple of sound recommendations as survivor locks nonetheless.

As ugly as their victories have been, the fact remains that the Steelers have won three of their last four outings and their 7-4 record puts them right on the cusp of another postseason appearance. Pittsburgh is a (-5.5) home favorite to beat the visiting Cardinals, who just lost all momentum from Kyler Murray’s return the week prior. Tampa Bay is also an intriguing pick as the team takes on one-win Carolina. The Buccaneers are also (-5.0) home faves to beat the Panthers in an NFC South matchup that the 4-7 Bucs must win to stay relatively alive in their race for the division title with the five-win Saints and Falcons.
