NFL Survivor Pool: Week 11, 2025 pick from advanced computer model

The Week 11 NFL schedule will give survivor pool players a number of options to choose from. For those few who have negotiated through 10 weeks of upsets and surprising outcomes, there may be a clear winning pathway. Week 10 had its share of heartbreak for some survivor pool players as heavy favorites such as the Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers all were upset.

A popular choice this week is the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4), who are taking on the 3-6 Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers are looking to return to their early-season form after dropping three of their last five games. The Bengals, meanwhile, have dropped two in a row and four of five. Their only win in that span came against the Steelers on Oct. 16 in Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh enters as a 5-5-point favorite in what is one of the sixth largest Week 11 NFL lines, all which are five points or greater. The largest was the New England Patriots, who entered Thursday's game against the New York Jets as 11.5-point favorites. The Patriots have won seven consecutive games, while the Jets have won two in a row.

Before making any Week 11 NFL survivor pool picks or NFL knockout pool 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 well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model is on a sizzling 45-28 run on top-rated picks dating back to 2024. Anybody following could have seen HUGE returns!

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.

This week, the model is shying away from picking the San Francisco 49ers (6-4), who are taking on the 3-6 Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers enter as 3-point favorites, despite losing three of their last five. Arizona has won two of their last three meetings with the 49ers, and fell just short at San Francisco 16-15 on Sept. 21. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, a career backup, has done an admirable job in replacing the injured Kyler Murray. In six games, he has completed 60.9% of his passes for 1,118 yards and eight touchdowns with one interception.

Despite opening as the big 3-point home underdog, the SportsLine model projects Arizona covering in over 50% of simulations, making the 49ers a team to fade. Instead, the model is CONFIDENTLY backing a team that wins outright in nearly 70% of simulations! Picking this team will put you in the optimal position to win your NFL survivor pool. You NEED to see which team the model is backing before locking in your NFL survivor picks!
