Matthew Stafford has proven to be an excellent offseason acquisition for the Los Angeles Rams thus far, as he's helped guide the team to a 4-1 record. The veteran quarterback has posted a trio of 300-yard performances after throwing for a season-high 365 in an impressive 26-17 triumph at Seattle last week. Stafford may eclipse that total when Los Angeles visits the injury-riddled New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams are 10.5-point favorites in the latest Week 6 NFL odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and many will jump on them with their NFL survivor pool picks.
Other NFL favorites that could attract attention for NFL knockout pool picks include the Indianapolis Colts (-9.5 against the Houston Texans) and Kansas City Chiefs (-7 against the Washington Football Team). Before making any Week 5 NFL survivor picks, you need to 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 $7,900 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. It went a sizzling 24-14 on top-rated NFL picks last season, returning more than $800. The model also enters Week 6 of the 2021 season on an incredible 125-83 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 five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
The model can be used to crush the survivor pool format. The team winning the most model simulations each week is a perfect 5-0 after the Patriots (78 percent) edged the Texans, joining the 49ers in Week 1 (75 percent), Buccaneers in Week 2 (79 percent), Cardinals and Ravens in Week 3 (79 percent) and Bills in Week 4 (87 percent). You can only see who the model is backing in NFL Week 6 at SportsLine.
Top Week 6 NFL survivor pool predictionsFor Week 6, the model is shying away from the undefeated Arizona Cardinals against the Cleveland Browns. While they may have lost a heartbreaker against the Los Angeles Chargers last week, the Browns proved they have an offense that can keep up with the best teams. Cleveland outgained Los Angeles 531-493 in total yards, rushing for 230 to bring their league-leading average to 187.6 per game.
Nick Chubb gained 161 of Cleveland's rushing yards in the 47-42 defeat to bring his season total to 523, which puts him second behind Tennessee's Derrick Henry (640). The 25-year-old Chubb is averaging 104.6 yards per contest and is on pace to shatter the career-high of 1,494 he set in 2019. Considering Arizona is 28th in the league against the run (139 yards), the Browns are too dangerous for the model's projections this week.
How to make Week 6 NFL survivor pool picksInstead, the model is backing a team whose quarterback is coming off his best performance of the season. Picking this team not only will get you to Week 7, it also will put you in the optimal position to go deep in your NFL survivor pool. The time to pick this team is now, and you can only see the play over at SportsLine.
