The Cincinnati Bengals have caused major upsets for many NFL survivor pool players in 2024, with their rocky 1-4 start. They were favored in both Week 1, where they lost to the New England Patriots, and Week 3, where they were upset by the Washington Commanders as 7.5-point favorites. These early-season stumbles left many survivor players disappointed. With the Bengals now heading into a Sunday Night Football showdown against the New York Giants as 3.5-point favorites, should you risk picking them for your Week 6 NFL survivor pool?
The Bengals are 1-2 as favorites this season, making them a shaky option for Week 6. Alternatively, heavier favorites like the Green Bay Packers (-5.5 against the Arizona Cardinals) or the Houston Texans (-6.5 against the New England Patriots) might be safer picks for your Week 6 survivor pool. Before locking in your choice, you should see which team the SportsLine Projection Model is backing.
This model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has helped bettors win over $7,000 on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. Entering Week 6 of the 2024 season, the model is on a 10-2 hot streak and has been consistently dominant, with a 191-131 record on top-rated picks since 2017. Its impressive track record also includes a 45-23 streak since Week 7 of 2022.
The SportsLine model excels at survivor pool formats, where you pick one team to win each week, without repeating teams throughout the season. The model has now turned its attention to Week 6 NFL matchups and locked in its top survivor pick. You can see which team the model is backing exclusively at SportsLine.
Top Week 6 Survivor Pool Picks
The model advises avoiding the Philadelphia Eagles (-8.5) against the Cleveland Browns, despite the Eagles being the week's largest favorite. Philadelphia is 2-2 this season and still trying to recover from last year’s rough finish, where they went 1-5 to close the regular season and lost 32-9 to Tampa Bay in the Wild Card Round. Their recent 33-16 defeat to the Buccaneers doesn’t inspire confidence, even though they had a bye week to regroup. While they’re expected to get key players like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith back from injuries, their defensive struggles remain a major concern.
The SportsLine model recommends avoiding the Eagles for Week 6, given their inconsistency and the high number of survivor players likely to pick them. Instead, the model has identified a surprising team that wins in over 60% of simulations, and this could be the perfect week to pick them.
