If you've made it to Week 8 NFL knockout pools, then you've stuck around longer than most. With no teams on a bye, every squad is at your disposal, outside of those you've already utilized. However, there are several games with feature two winning teams going head-to-head, including Texans vs. Colts, Buccaneers vs. Falcons, Bills vs. Seahawks and Bears vs. Commanders. If you take those games off the board with your Week 8 NFL survivor picks, then that's a quarter of the league's teams not up for consideration. Thus, now may be the time to rely on some outside help with your NFL eliminator picks.

Before you make your Week 8 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 8 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 12-5 hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 193-134 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 47-27 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 8 of the 2024 NFL season, we can tell you the model is shying away from the Texans (-6.5, 46) versus the Colts, even though Houston is one of the biggest favorites of the week. The Colts have won four of their last five, including three straight starts with Anthony Richardson under center. Meanwhile, Houston is coming off a defeat, and its offense is clearly missing Nico Collins. C.J. Stroud averaged 277 passing yards in the five games with Collins but has produced just 139 passing yards per game in the two without the stud wideout. While the Texans are projected to win in well over 70% of simulations, the model is saving Houston for another week.

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!
