The SportsLine Projection Model simulates the entire NFL season 10,000 times. That's helped it become an authority on the survivor pool format, which calls for picking one team to win each week, but never picking the same team twice. 

It's not how much you win by in a survivor pool. It's simply about picking a winner and moving on, and sometimes saving a bigger favorite for a future week.

The SportsLine Projection Model has ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch for three years running on straight-up NFL picks. Additionally, it beat over 96 percent of CBS Sports office pool players last season.

The model rolled with the Seahawks as its Survivor pick last week, and they ultimately subdued the Buccaneers.

For NFL Week 10, we can tell you the model is not going with 6-2 Ravens, even though they're winning 78 percent of simulations against the winless Bengals. This is a classic letdown spot for the Ravens, who just beat the previously undefeated Patriots on Sunday Night Football and now face a bitter division rival on the road.

There's another team winning more often that the model loves for your NFL knockout pools this week. Picking this team also sets you up for the rest of the season! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any survivor picks.

So which team is a MUST-BACK in your Week 10 survivor pool? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the optimal Survivor Pool pick for Week 10, all from the computer model that has ranked in the top 10 in straight-up picks three years running!
