NFL Week 15 Survivor Pick Rankings: Best Bets To Win Straight Up For 2022 Pool
The usual suspects are among the best bets to win straight up in NFL Week 15. If you are still in a 2022 survivor pool and have already used the top Super Bowl contenders, options like the Washington Commanders or Los Angeles Chargers might be the safest pick.
Here's a ranking of the top-10 survivor picks for Week 15.
1) Kansas City Chiefs (at Houston Texans)
Don't expect Houston to scare a Super Bowl contender for a second straight week. The one-win Texans keep finding ways to lose games. Patrick Mahomes could take over the MVP race with a huge performance in Houston.
2) Philadelphia Eagles (at Chicago Bears)
The Eagles keep rolling along, and it's highly unlikely that a team that has already been eliminated from playoff contention is going to stop them. Philadelphia is averaging 41 points in the last three games. The Eagles are nine games ahead of the Bears in the standings.
3) Buffalo Bills (vs. Miami Dolphins)
The Bills are starting to separate themselves from the rest of the AFC East. Buffalo is two games ahead of Miami, which has struggled to move the ball during its two-game losing streak. The Bills' plus-132 point differential compared to the Dolphins' plus-four point differential suggests the rivals are even further apart than their records suggest.
4) Dallas Cowboys (at Jacksonville Jaguars)
The Jaguars haven't won two games in a row since Week 3. The Cowboys are 6-1 since Dak Prescott returned from injury. Dallas is 5-1 against teams that are out of the Week 15 playoff picture.
5) Minnesota Vikings (vs. Indianapolis Colts)
A home game with the Colts might be the perfect antidote to the Vikings' problems. Indianapolis has won two of its seven road games, going 0-3 against opponents that are .500 or better. Minnesota is 6-0 at home against opponents that are out of the Week 15 playoff picture.
6) San Francisco 49ers (at Seattle Seahawks)
The 49ers beat the Seahawks 20-7 in Week 2, and Week 15 could produce a similar result. Brock Purdy looks like he's been the best quarterback on San Francisco's roster all season. Seattle is headed in the wrong direction with three losses in four games against sub-.500 opponents.
7) Green Bay Packers (vs. Los Angeles Rams)
The Rams needed a miraculous comeback to defeat the Raiders in Baker Mayfield's first start with the team. Coming off a bye, Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay should take care of business against a Los Angeles team that is still ravaged by injuries.
8) Washington Commanders (vs. New York Giants)
The Giants have completely fallen apart since their 7-2 start. New York's only victory in the last six games came against the Texans. The Giants managed to tie Washington in Week 13, but the Commanders have the edge at home after a bye.
9) Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Tennessee Titans)
The Chargers are back in the playoff picture because the offense is getting healthier. The Titans have lost three straight games. Tennessee's glaring lack of depth at wide receiver makes it difficult for it to keep up offenses that are led by the likes of Justin Herbert.
10) Cincinnati Bengals (at Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
It's come to the point where Tom Brady should be a decided home underdog against a contender. Had it not been for improbable late comeback victories against the Rams and Saints, the Bucs would be 4-9. Cincinnati is 7-1 in its last eight games and might be even better than last year's team that reached the Super Bowl.
