As the calendar flipped to December, congrats if you're still alive in Week 14 NFL survivor pools. But with 40% of the teams already utilized, it will only get tougher from here when making NFL knockout picks. However, there are lots of divisional games in the Week 14 NFL schedule, which means you have plenty of matchup trends to go off. Chargers vs. Broncos is one of Sunday's games, and the Chargers have won their last three home games against Denver. Should L.A. be the team to back with Week 14 NFL knockout picks?

Before you make your Week 14 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 well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 176-128 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 30-20 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season and is 31-12 straight-up the last three weeks.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% 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.

In Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season, we can tell you the model is shying away from the Vikings even though they are 3-point road favorites over Raiders. Vegas is 2-2 since Antonio Pierce was named interim coach, with the two defeats coming to the AFC's elite in the Chiefs and Dolphins. It is playing more inspired ball under the new coach, while Minnesota is coming off back-to-back terrible showings. The Vikings have committed seven turnovers over their last two games -- both losses -- and there is uncertainty at the QB position as Joshua Dobbs had six of those seven giveaways. The Vikings have the third-worst turnover differential (-8) in the NFL, while the Raiders are 4-2 at home, so the model is avoiding Minnesota in Week 14 NFL survivor picks.

Instead, the model is backing a team that dominates inferior opponents ahead of a Week 14 matchup against a reeling squad! Picking this team will put you in the optimal position to win your NFL survivor pool this week. You NEED to see which team the model is backing before locking in your NFL survivor picks!
