The Week 10 NFL schedule features 14 games, including a handful of divisional matchups like Bills vs. Jets in the AFC East and Jaguars vs. Colts in the AFC South. Two more division rivalries continue in primetime as the AFC West's Chiefs vs. Raiders takes place on Sunday Night Football, while Rams vs. 49ers in the NFC West wraps up the week on Monday Night Football. Before you make your Week 10 NFL survivor picks, you NEED to see which team the SportsLine Projection Model is backing.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,600 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. The model enters Week 10 of the 2021 season on an incredible 128-88 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is WAY UP.

The model can be used to crush the survivor pool format, which calls for picking one team to win each week but never using the same team twice. The team winning the most model simulations each week is 8-1 as the 49ers in Week 1 (75 percent), Buccaneers in Week 2 (79 percent), Cardinals and Ravens in Week 3 (79 percent), Bills in Week 4 (87 percent), Patriots in Week 5 (78 percent), Colts in Week 6 (81 percent), Cards in Week 7 (84 percent) and Rams in Week 8 (91 percent) were winners for survivor contestants who used those teams over the first eight weeks.

In Week 10, we can tell you the model is shying away from the Cowboys as they host the Falcons, who have won three of their last four games and are coming off an upset victory at NFC South-rival New Orleans. The Cowboys are winning 65 percent of simulations, but the model considers the Falcons too dangerous.

Instead, the model is backing a team that's thriving on the road this season! Picking this team not only will get you to Week 11, but will also put you in the optimal position to go deep in your NFL survivor pool. You NEED to see which team the model is backing before locking in your NFL survivor picks!
