Week 9 was about as uneventful as can be for NFL Survivor Pools, with the Patriots as the only favorite to lose outright and many of the most popular picks not having a sweat at all in double-digit wins. The Bears, Saints and Cowboys all made it interesting in close contests, but all were able to hold on to send Survivors through to Week 10.
When a week without any chaotic results happens, it helps to get through with a team that has the least future value, and that might be the Saints despite the sweat their backers endured. New Orleans is going to be around a pick 'em this week hosting the Panthers, which is going to make people shy away from using them, and the only other spot where they could be worth the risk is in Week 16, when they face the Cardinals. We should expect to see a lot of people grouped on the Saints that week as a result.
In Week 10, most of the big favorites are on the road, with the three biggest in divisional matchups, which will mean a tough decision for Survivors looking to make it another week. The biggest home favorite is a Ravens team that will be breaking in a new quarterback in Jacoby Brissett, but a matchup with the winless Chargers could spur many in Survivor Pools to take the plunge and hope for the best in a tough week.
Should you back that potential consensus play or spend another week looking for a pivot? We'll break the slate down below.
