The SportsLine Projection Model simulates the entire NFL season 10,000 times. That's helped it become an authority on the survivor pool format, which calls for picking one team to win each week, but never picking the same team twice. 

It's not how much you win by in a survivor pool. It's simply about picking a winner and moving on, and sometimes saving a bigger favorite for a future week.

The SportsLine Projection Model has ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch for three years running on straight-up NFL picks. Additionally, it beat over 96 percent of CBS Sports office pool players last season. In Week 13 the model rolled with the Chiefs, who blew out the Raiders, while tens of thousands of survivor players got knocked out with Carolina (lost at home to Washington) and Philadelphia (lost at Miami). Last week the model hit easily with Minnesota.

Now, the model has locked in on Week 15, understanding most Survivor players already have used powerhouse teams like the 49ers and Chiefs. We can tell you the model is not going with the Seahawks, even though they're facing a Panthers team that's lost five straight. 

There's another team winning more often that the model loves for your NFL knockout pools this week. Picking this team also sets you up for the rest of the season! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any survivor picks.
