Advanced computer model locks in NFL Week 9 Survivor Pool pick

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 went 12-2 straight-up in Week 8 and 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.

For NFL Week 9, we can tell you the model is not going with 5-2 Bills, even though they're winning more than 70 percent of simulations against the visiting Redskins. Bills quarterback Josh Allen has fumbled seven times this season, while the Redskins bring a feisty defense that's allowed just 28 total points over the past two weeks to the Vikings and Niners.

There's another team winning just as 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.

So which team is a MUST-BACK in your Week 9 survivor pool? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the optimal Survivor Pool pick for Week 9, all from the computer model that has ranked in the top 10 in straight-up picks three years running!
