If you're observing the NFL lines to assist with Week 15 NFL knockout picks, then one game stands out. Baltimore is a massive 16-point favorite, on the road no less, versus the Giants. That makes the Ravens the biggest favorite of the entire season, and thus, a favorite of many for Week 15 NFL survivor pools. However, who should you turn to if Baltimore is already off the board? Other road favorites to consider for NFL knockout pools include the Chiefs (-4) versus the Browns, the Jets (-3.5) against the Jags, and the Packers (-3) visiting the Seahawks. 

Before you make your Week 15 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 15 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 25-11 hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 205-139 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 59-32 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 15 of the 2024 NFL season, we can tell you the model is shying away from the Cardinals (-6.5, 45.5) despite being nearly touchdown home favorites over New England. The Cards have lost three in a row, and their offense has disappeared as they've scored a total of three touchdowns over this stretch. Kyler Murray has multiple picks in back-to-back games, while the Pats own a top-10 run defense in terms of yards per carry allowed. Plus, New England's offense is improving and averaging 7.5 more points per game with Drake Maye as a starter, compared to Jacoby Brissett. Add in that the Patriots are coming off a bye, and Arizona is one to avoid with 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!
