The Bengals ended many NFL survivor pool picks in Week 1, losing as the biggest favorite, and the Ravens followed suit in Week 2. This week, the Browns are among the biggest favorites of the week at -6.5 against the Giants. However, considering the fates of their divisional-rivals, should you consider other options for your Week 3 NFL eliminator pool picks? Before you make your Week 3 NFL survivor pool picks or NFL knockout pool picks, you NEED to see which team proven NFL expert R.J. White is backing.

White is 643-543-34 on ATS picks over the last seven years, returning more than $4,600. He has been even better with his top five picks each week, going 428-327-25 (56.7%) over the last nine years in the Las Vegas ATS contests. While this doesn't involve picking against the spread, applying the strategies he's developed to have long-term success on those picks to survivor pools puts contestants in the best position to outlast the competition this season.

White's advice 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. This was evident in Week 1, as White avoided the huge upset with the Bengals and picked a blowout winner instead with the Saints. He then steered clear of Baltimore in Week 2 as heavy favorites, and instead stayed alive by picking Houston.

In Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season, we can tell you White is shying away from the Bengals (-7.5, 47.5), even though they're the heaviest favorite of the week against the Commanders on Monday Night Football, up a full point from the open. Washington still has defensive issues, but it has shown it can move the ball, ranking sixth in rushing, while Cincinnati is seventh-worst at stopping the run. White can foresee a shootout in this game, and the Bengals already lost a back-and-forth game the previous week versus the Chiefs.

Instead, White is backing a team whose opponent "cannot move the ball!" Picking this team will put you in the optimal position to win your NFL survivor pool. You NEED to see which team White is backing before locking in your NFL survivor picks!
