If you're still alive for Week 16 NFL survivor pools, you've done a great job to make it this far, but you also don't want to make it just this far. Fifteen teams are off the board for Week 16 NFL knockout picks and there are no easy choices for this week. Eight games have point spreads of 3.5 points or fewer, so having some advice would certainly be advantageous. Before you make your Week 16 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 more than $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 157-113 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 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 16 of the 2022 NFL schedule, we can tell you the model is shying away from the Philadelphia Eagles (13-1) versus Dallas (10-4), despite Philly having the league's best record. The Eagles won when these two played earlier this season, but that game came at home and without Dak Prescott for the Cowboys. Philadelphia isn't quite as opportunistic on the road as it has half as many takeaways (eight) in away games than home games (16). Also, Prescott is 7-3 all-time versus the Eagles with eight touchdowns versus zero picks across two matchups last season. If the Eagles are still available for your Week 16 NFL knockout pools, the model advises you to look elsewhere.

Instead, the model is backing a SHOCKING team that is well-positioned to deliver a Week 16 win! 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!
