Things continue to get challenging as you start contemplating your Week 3 NFL survivor picks, as teams start coming off the board. The schedule features six inter-conference matchups, including Packers vs. Browns (+7.5), Bengals vs. Vikings (-3), Jets vs. Buccaneers (-6.5), Raiders vs. Commanders (-3), Chiefs vs. Giants (+6) on Sunday Night Football and Lions vs. Ravens (-4.5) on Monday Night Football.

Meanwhile, there are also six divisional matchups, which tend to be closer contests, including 49ers vs. Cardinals (+2.5), which has one of the week's slimmest NFL spreads. This is one of the few Week 3 NFL games matching up undefeated teams and Mac Jones will continue to start in place of Brock Purdy.

Before making any Week 3 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 37-17 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.

In Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, the model hit on the Ravens, who defeated the Browns 41-17. The model also hit in Week 1 with the Commanders defeating the New York Giants 21-6. 

This week, the model is shying away from picking the Seattle Seahawks (-7) over the New Orleans Saints, even though the Seahawks are at home on Sunday. Seattle is coming off a 31-17 win at Pittsburgh, but were aided by some mental mistakes by the Steelers in the kicking game. The Seahawks win this game 62% of the time in the simulations, much less than several other teams.

Instead, the model is CONFIDENTLY backing a team that wins outright in well over 80% 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!
