NFL Week 10 Survivor Pick Rankings: Best Bets To Win Straight Up For 2022 Pool
Survivor pools that are still ongoing in the 2022 NFL season are likely to feature plenty of questionable picks in Week 10. Options are limited for those that remain alive this late into the season, potentially making a team that doesn't have a winning record the best available choice.
Here's a ranking of the top-10 survivor picks for Week 10.
1) Kansas City Chiefs (vs. Jacksonville Jaguars)
The Jaguars were finally able to end their five-game losing streak because they played a last-place team at home. Another Jacksonville losing streak will likely start Sunday when they visit the team that's tied for the best record in the AFC. Patrick Mahomes leads the league in passing yards and touchdowns.
2) Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Washington Commanders)
The Eagles have been a winning survivor pick every single week. Anyone who's managed to avoid using Philadelphia and still stayed alive in their pool might want to finally pull the trigger on the Eagles in Week 10. A look at their upcoming schedule suggests that this could be the final time for a while that the Eagles are double-digit favorites.
3) Buffalo Bills (vs. Minnesota Vikings)
Buffalo's Week 9 loss shows that the team is vulnerable to being upset, but it might also ensure that the Bills won't overlook the Vikings. Because Buffalo is in a tight AFC East race and Minnesota is running away with the NFC North title, this is a much more important game for the Bills. Buffalo's plus-102 point differential dwarfs that of Minnesota, which has outscored its opponents by 32 points.
4) New York Giants (vs. Houston Texans)
The Texans are still stuck at one victory this season. Houston's lone win was a nail-biter against the 3-6 Jaguars. The Giants had an extra week to prepare because of their Week 9 bye. New York is 4-0 against teams that have a losing record.
5) Miami Dolphins (vs. Cleveland Browns)
The Dolphins are 6-0 when Tua Tagovailoa starts and finishes a game. Miami is averaging 27.5 points in those contests. Cleveland hasn't won on the road since the season opener.
6) San Francisco 49ers (vs. Los Angeles Chargers)
Coming off a bye, the 49ers could put up a ton of points against the Chargers. Deebo Samuel will likely return from his hamstring injury. Christian McCaffrey is now fully integrated into the offense. The Chargers are 30th in scoring defense and don't have a road win against a team that has a winning record.
7) Dallas Cowboys (at Green Bay Packers)
Even at Lambeau Field, the Packers will have a hard time beating playoff teams. Aaron Rodgers has put up pedestrian stats during Green Bay's five-game losing streak, spelling trouble against the Cowboys' defense. After being upset by the Commanders and Lions in recent weeks, the Packers are likely done as a championship contender.
8) Los Angeles Rams (vs. Arizona Cardinals)
The Rams aren't a very good team right now, but the Cardinals are even worse. Los Angeles is 11-1 against Arizona in their last 12 meetings. That includes a 20-12 Rams' victory in Week 3 that was more one-sided than the final score indicates.
9) Tennessee Titans (vs. Denver Broncos)
If Ryan Tannehill is healthy enough to start at quarterback, the Titans will be an even better survivor option. Tennessee has only been defeated by teams that enter Week 10 with a 6-2 record. Denver is 0-3 against teams that are above .500.
10) New Orleans Saints (at Pittsburgh Steelers)
Picking against the Steelers is usually a good idea, considering Pittsburgh is headed for a top draft pick. This might be your last chance to use New Orleans in your survivor pool. The Saints face the Rams, 49ers and Buccaneers in the next three weeks.
