The Week 7 NFL schedule doesn't feature a single game with a double-digit spread, so making your NFL survivor pool picks could be a challenge. The Eagles and 49ers both lost to backup quarterbacks last week and a sizable chunk of players making NFL knockout pool picks were taken down with each upset. Are those two franchises in line to bounce back in Week 7 and can you be confident enough in either coming off a loss to stake your season on them with NFL eliminator pool picks?

Nearly three-quarters of all NFL survivor pool players have already been eliminated over the first six weeks of the season and we've reached the stage where you shouldn't stash teams for later. Of the teams left at your disposal, which can you rely on in Week 7 to get the job done and send you on for another week of action? Before finalizing any Week 7 NFL survivor picks, see which team the red-hot SportsLine Projection Model just went all-in on.

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 enters Week 7 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 172-120 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 26-12 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last 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.

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 7 NFL odds and locked in its Week 7 survivor pool pick. You can only see who the model is backing this week at SportsLine.

Top Week 7 NFL survivor pool predictions 

For Week 7 of the 2023 NFL season, the model is shying away from the 49ers, even though they are 6.5-point road favorites over the Vikings. After a nearly flawless first five weeks of the season, San Francisco caught Cleveland coming off a bye week and suffered its first loss in Week 6.

Even with Deshaun Watson out, the 49ers struggled to move the ball against an impressive Browns defense and a strong running game bailed out backup quarterback P.J. Walker. Jerome Ford rushed for 84 yards, while Kareem Hunt rushed for 47 and a touchdown.

In the process, the 49ers saw Trent Williams (ankle), Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and Christian McCaffrey (oblique) go down with injuries and all three could be impacted in Week 7. With the Vikings coming off a victory, the model is shying away from San Francisco after it was responsible for knocking out a sizable portion of players last week. See which team to pick here.
