Well it’s about that time crazy football fans; kickoff is just around the corner and as is always the case in fantasy football land, there is SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT! Should I take Rodgers or Rice with the 3 pick? Can Andre Johnson stay healthy? When will people stop talking about Tim Tebow’s wardrobe (or lack thereof) and start talking about Peyton’s post-surgery arm strength (or lack thereof)?

Well, if you are looking for a slightly more “zen” form of recreational football gambling, look no further than the Excel Rain Man Football Survivor Pool!

The FREE Excel Rain Man Football Survivor Pool is back for Season 4 and is ready to assist pick ‘um pool managers out there with a simple splendid spreadsheet solution. Allyssa Tzavlakis went all kung fu master on this amazing template to create our best pool management tool yet (think Master Splinter… Except female… And hot… And not a rat)!

For those of you who don’t know, this is an Excel Rain Tool for managing your own survivor-style football pool using Microsoft Excel. Survivor Pool spreadsheets still aren’t really available on the market these days (you’re welcome), and more and more offices are starting to block access to the available online providers.

With this useful and discrete tool, pool managers can look as though they are working on the “Arian Foster” of spreadsheets in the cubicle, while secretly feeding their ravenous hunger for office wagering… So genius right?

Here’s the deal.
Rules:
– Each week pool participants will choose one football team to win, straight up (i.e. no spreads)
– Once a participant has chosen a team, they will be unable to choose that team for the remainder of the season
– If your team wins, you move on to the next week
– The league manager can choose single or double elimination style and how to handle ties in NFL games

Logistics:
– A Pool Manager is needed to coordinate this “spread-tasterpiece” and will enter selections each week for the participants
– The manager must use a PC but anyone can participate in the fun!
– Each Pool Participant will email his or her weekly selection to the pool manager (prior to the first game of the week)

That’s it my friends. Your welcome!
