If your NFL eliminator pools have made it to December, then give yourself a pat on the back. However, with Week 14 NFL knockout picks, you could be down over half of the 32 NFL teams. Thirteen squads are off the table, plus six teams are on a bye, in the last off-week for teams in the season. So, which under-the-radar options should, at the very least, be on your radar as potential Week 14 NFL survivor picks? There are just two games featuring teams with winning records versus teams with losing records in Eagles vs. Panthers (+12.5) and Steelers vs. Browns (+6.5), so you may be fortunate if one of the Pennsylvania teams is still available in NFL knockout.

Before you make your Week 14 NFL survivor pool picks or NFL knockout pool 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 14 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 24-10 hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 204-138 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 58-31 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.

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 following has seen HUGE returns!

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 14 of the 2024 NFL season, we can tell you the model is shying away from the 49ers (-4, 44) despite facing a Bears team that's lost six in a row. San Fran is on a three-game losing streak, itself, including back-to-back contests by 25-plus points. The Niners also lost Christian McCaffrey (knee) indefinitely, and they have a rest disadvantage after the Bears played on Thanksgiving. Add in that the Bears will get a psychological boost after replacing their head coach -- plus the fact that they've beaten the Niners in two straight games in San Francisco -- and the model advises to avoid the 49ers for Week 14 NFL knockout picks.

Instead, the model is backing a SURPRISING team that wins outright in well over 70% of simulations! Picking this team will put you in the optimal position to win your NFL survivor pool. You NEED to see which team the model is backing before locking in your NFL survivor picks!
