NFL Week 10 Survivor Pool Picks

Seattle Seahawks

This a prime bounce-back spot for the Seahawks, as they are 3-1-1 against the spread as a favorite this season.

Sure, Washington beat the New England Patriots as short dogs last week, but I'm not sold on Sam Howell putting up a strong performance against a team over .500. The Commanders have lost to the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles twice when they've faced a step up in competition.

Seattle needs a win to stay in the mix for the NFC West lead, and the team has shown an abilitiy to win games when set as a favorite. I'll trust Geno Smith and company to get us to Week 11. -- Peter Dewey

Indianapolis Colts

Did any of us ever think we'd see a season in which it's easy to pick against the New England Patriots? Well you don't need to wake up because you're not dreaming!

New England has been one of the WORST teams in football this season, and it doesn't look like there's any way that changes.

Indianapolis has struggled, too, but its offense has been one of the NFL's best, averaging 25.8 points per game (seventh in NFL). It's hard to see how this lackluster Patriots offense keeps up. -- Vinnie Portell

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It's a tough week for Survivor so it's time to take a shot on a bad team.

The bad team I recommend taking this week is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the Tennessee Titans. Tampa Bay is a relatively easy team to handicap.

When it plays teams with a good secondary, bet against it, when it plays teams with bad secondaries, bet on it.

The Buccaneers entire offense relies on passing the ball since their run game is atrocious. Luckily for them, the Titans rank 25th in opponent yards per pass attempt, 26th in opponent EPA per dropback, and 28th in opponent dropback success rate.

That bodes well for the Buccaneers and I think they can torch the Titans through the air. -- Iain MacMillan

Chicago Bears

Want to get gross?

There are some obvious picks on the board this week, like the Dallas Cowboys or Buffalo Bills, for example.

If you've already used those top teams to stay alive, I've got a "hold your nose" option for you.

Yes, the 2-7 Chicago Bears. They've looked better in recent weeks, covering the spread in three of their last five games, while the 1-8 Panthers covered just once this season.

The Bears demolished the Las Vegas Raiders 30-12 in their last home game and should run the ball effectively with D'Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert fresh off off injured reserve.

Chicago is 5-1 in its last six against Carolina as well, giving the Bears an edge in this matchup.

You never want to rely on this Bears team, but this is the only week they're a legitimately options. Don't take Chicago if you don't have to, though these are the kinds of picks that ultimately win you a league. -- Joe Summers
