NFL survivor pool picks have been a bloodbath so far this season, and that trend continued when the Giants upset the Packers as 9-point underdogs in London last week. There will be difficult decisions to make for those still alive heading into the Week 6 NFL schedule, as Caesars Sportsbook only has three teams favored by at least one touchdown in the Week 6 NFL odds. The Rams are 10.5-point favorites against the Panthers on Sunday, making them the lone double-digit favorite on the board. Where should you look for your Week 6 NFL knockout pool picks? Before finalizing any Week 6 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 almost $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 146-106 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 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 6 NFL odds from Caesars and locked in its Week 6 survivor pool pick. You can only see who the model is backing this week at SportsLine.

Top Week 6 NFL survivor pool predictions

In Week 6 of the 2022 NFL schedule, the model is shying away from the Minnesota Vikings (4-1), even though they are favorites over the Miami Dolphins (3-2). Minnesota is on a three-game winning streak, but it has struggled to win during that stretch, playing a trio of one-possession games. The Vikings held a 21-3 lead against Chicago last week before needing a late touchdown to win the game after allowing 19 consecutive points.

Miami will be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) again this week, but rookie Skylar Thompson will have a full week of practice reps under his belt heading into this game, and Minnesota does not have much professional film on him. The Vikings have failed to cover the spread in four straight games and Miami is on an eight-game home winning streak, so the model recommends staying away from Minnesota on Sunday. See which team to pick here.
