There are seven games this week featuring teams with winning records facing teams with losing record, giving lots of appealing options to those still alive in Week 13 NFL survivor pools. But many of those teams with winning records may have already been utilized, so you may have to take some risks when picking a squad for Week 13 NFL knockout picks. Should you maybe get behind Tampa as it takes on a one-loss Panthers team that just fired their head coach, or maybe picking Atlanta as it takes on the hapless Jets?

Before you make your Week 13 NFL survivor picks, you NEED to see which team the SportsLine Projection Model is backing.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 175-126 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 29-18 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season and is 22-8 straight-up the last two weeks.

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!

The model can be used to crush the Survivor Pool format, which calls for picking one team to win each week but never using the same team twice.

In Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season, we can tell you the model is shying away from the 8-3 Lions even though they are 4-point road favorites over the 5-6 Saints. Detroit suddenly has a problem with taking care of the football as it has 10 giveaways over its last four games, after having just seven turnovers over its first seven games. Forcing turnovers is what New Orleans does best as its 20 takeaways are fourth-most in the NFL. Also, the Saints should get a boost from returning to the Superdome as no team has played in fewer home games than New Orleans this season. The Lions may turn things around later in the year, but the model advises to look elsewhere than Detroit with Week 13 NFL survivor picks.

Instead, the model is backing a team coming off back-to-back wins versus a Week 13 opponent mired on a losing streak! Picking this team will put you in the optimal position to win your NFL survivor pool this week. You NEED to see which team the model is backing before locking in your NFL survivor picks!
