The Dallas Cowboys are 10-point favorites against the Denver Broncos on Sunday according to the latest NFL odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Fresh off a victory against the Minnesota Vikings without star quarterback Dak Prescott, the Cowboys are riding high at 6-1 atop the NFC East standings and look ripe for a spot in the NFL playoff picture. Dallas has won and covered six straight games and could be a popular target for anyone making NFL survivor pool picks.
Other favorites that could attract attention for NFL knockout pool picks include the Buffalo Bills (-14.5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars), and Los Angeles Rams (-7.5 against the Titans on Sunday Night Football). Before making any Week 9 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 $7,800 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. The model enters Week 9 of the 2021 season on an incredible 128-86 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
It 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 8-0 after the Rams (91 percent) pounded the Texans. They joined the 49ers in Week 1 (75 percent), Buccaneers in Week 2 (79 percent), Cardinals and Ravens in Week 3 (79 percent), Bills in Week 4 (87 percent), Patriots in Week 5 (78 percent), Colts in Week 6 (81 percent) and Cards in Week 7 (84 percent) as winners for survivor contestants who used those teams over the first eight weeks. You can only see who the model is backing in Week 9 at SportsLine.
Top Week 9 NFL survivor pool predictions
For Week 9, the model is shying away from the Dallas Cowboys against the Denver Broncos. The Cowboys possess the top offense in the NFL with an average of 454.9 yards and are scoring 32.1 points per contest. However, the Broncos have allowed 17 points or fewer in five of their eight games, including the last two.
The teams have met 12 times during the regular season, with Denver winning eight of the meetings. The Broncos have been victorious in the last six matchups, three of which took place in Dallas, and haven’t lost to the Cowboys since 1995. Even though Dallas is riding a six-game winning streak, Denver is too dangerous for the model’s projections this week.
How to make Week 9 NFL survivor pool picks
Instead, the model is backing a team whose opponent hasn’t won in nearly a month. Picking this team not only will get you to Week 10, 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 model’s Week 9 play at SportsLine.
