NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids (Week 17)

Week 16 finally knocked most survivor contestants out of pools, leaving around 20 people left in survivor pools. Week 16 solidified each AFC playoff team and cleared up the NFC picture. There are two spots up for grabs; the Packers, Lions, and Redskins are all vying for it. If the Redskins win and Packers-Lions does not end in a tie, then the Redskins and winner of Packers vs. Lions will win.

Week 17's biggest storylines feature the Lions vs. Packers game to decide the NFC North, will the Redskins make the playoffs, and who will win the AFC West. Besides for that, there is nothing interesting at all. The Steelers locked up the three seed, the Texans, the fourth, and the Dolphins, the sixth. The Patriots will not blow a chance to clinch home-field advantage like last year, so the AFC is pretty much set.

Survivor Picks - Rankings for Week 17

Redskins -7.5 vs. Giants

The Redskins need to win and the Giants already clinched the five-seed. The Redskins will cruise.

Seahawks -9.5 @49ers

I know the Seahawks just lost to the Cardinals at home, but in what world will they lose to the 49ers?

Patriots -9.5 @ Dolphins

Last year the Patriots blew an opportunity in the final week of the season in Miami to clinch home-field advantage. It ended up costing them a chance to play in the Super Bowl. The Patriots will not let that happen again on Sunday.

Chiefs -5.5 @ Chargers

If the Chiefs win and Raiders lose, then Kansas City will win the division and get a bye. The Chargers look dead after losing to the Browns and will not show up to this game. Neither will their fans.

Cardinals -6.5 @ Rams

A meaningless game. The Cardinals can easily score 21, something I don't know the Rams can do.

Buccaneers -6 vs. Panthers

The Bucs have the slimmest of margins to make the playoffs (I won't even tag a link or write out the scenario because it will not happen). The Bucs need to win though and will.

Broncos -2 vs. Raiders

This is a really interesting game as Matt McGloin gets the start in the wake of Derek Carr's injury. The Broncos are eliminated, but their defense is a prideful one. The Broncos will give it their all on Sunday to ruin the season of their rivals.

Falcons -6.5 vs. Saints

If the Falcons win, they clinch a bye, but for some reason it feels like the Saints will ruin the Falcons' hopes for a bye.

Steelers -6 vs. Browns

The Browns finally got their win and the Steelers locked up the three seed. Even if Landry Jones plays, the Steelers will still beat the Browns.

Vikings -5 vs. Bears

With nothing to play for in this game, the Vikings will bounce back, and end their season on a high note. The John Fox era looks done in Chicago and it feels like the Bears will clean out the front office. I don't see the Bears waking up for this one.

Eagles -4 vs. Cowboys

Who knows if Dak Prescott or Tony Romo will be playing? Who knows if the Cowboys will give it a full-go? I like the Eagles as I don't expect the Cowboys to play their starters the whole game.

Colts -4.5 vs. Jaguars

The Colts will destroy the Jaguars. This game is meaningless and I expect Andrew Luck to air it out, because, with nothing to play for, why not?

Bills -3.5 @ Jets

This line moved from 6.5 to 3.5 after the Ryans were fired. For survivor purposes I like the Jets, but I highly suggest not watching this game.

Bengals -2 vs. Ravens

Another meaningless game where it is so hard to determine if the Ravens and Bengals will care. There is literally nothing to play for. I would take the Bengals to end their season on a high note after a disappointing year.

Texans -3 @ Titans

Heading into Week 16, this matchup had the potential to decide the AFC South. But the Titans lost and Texans won last week, giving the Texans the division, making this game meaningless. I'm sure the Texans will play their hardest in order to build chemistry between Tom Savage and the receivers. I don't know if the Titans will care after their season just ended and they lost franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota to a broken leg. Both of these teams aren't good and should be avoided. If I had to pick I would go with the Texans.

Packers -3.5 @ Lions

I disagree with the line. I think it should be a pick 'em. Nevertheless, the Lions are a more well-rounded team. Their defense is better than the Packers and they have continually proven the ability to come from behind. I can't pick against a home underdog in a rivalry for the division crown.
