For the second time in three weeks, the Bengals were the biggest favorites, and for the second time in three weeks, they wrecked many NFL survivor pool picks. Cincinnati was upset by New England in Week 1 and Washington in Week 3, so many likely won't gravitate toward the Bengals with Week 4 NFL knockout pool picks, even against Carolina. Before you make your Week 4 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, and in Week 3 he again avoided Cincy, as it lost as the week's biggest favorite to Washington.

In Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season, we can tell you White is shying away from the Cardinals (-3.5, 50.5), even though they are a moderate home favorite over a Commanders team coming off a short week. Washington is just 1-5 over its last six road games, but that one victory just occurred on Monday night. Additionally, the Cardinals' schedule is even more favorable later in the year, including upcoming matchups versus teams with starting quarterback injuries as well as December games against the Patriots and Panthers. Thus, he's saving the Cardinals for down the road.

Instead, White is backing a team whose opponent could get "next to nothing" out of its QB! 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!
