The Seahawks‘ win over Detroit last week might not have been as big of a shock as the 48-45 final score. NFL fans who have been watching Detroit might have been tempted to back them with their NFL knockout pool picks. However, Seattle took the win and could be an interesting choice for Week 5 survivor pool picks against a floundering New Orleans team back from a loss in London. The Seahawks are 5.5-point underdogs in the Week 5 NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook, but can they pull an upset for the second consecutive week? Before finalizing any Week 5 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 4 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 139-103 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 5 NFL odds from Caesars and locked in its Week 5 survivor pool pick. You can only see who the model is backing this week at SportsLine.
Top Week 5 NFL survivor pool predictions
In Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season, the model is shying away from the Baltimore Ravens (2-2), even though they are home favorites over the Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) on Sunday Night Football. Cincinnati showed that reports of its demise were greatly exaggerated with a win over the Miami Dolphins last Thursday night. The offensive line showed more cohesion than it had in any other point of the season, and QB Joe Burrow completed 64.5 percent of his passes with two touchdowns and was only sacked once.
Meanwhile, Baltimore is coming off of a brutal game at home against Buffalo that came down to the wire and ended with a three-point Bills win. In a matchup that looked like it could be a preview of the AFC Championship game, Lamar Jackson finally had a somewhat pedestrian game, and the Ravens had trouble finding offensive consistency. Baltimore is still dealing with a number of injuries and coming off an emotional loss. See which team to pick here.
