More Survivor carnage was the big story of NFL Week 9, as the Buffalo Bills went down 20-17 against the New York Jets as double-digit favorites and a very popular pick. The scare that the Kansas City Chiefs put into everyone as 14-point favorites shouldn’t go unnoticed either, as they eked past the Tennessee Titans 20-17 in overtime on Sunday Night Football.
If you’re still alive at this point, you certainly deserve to be in the running for the ultimate prize in your pool. There can’t be that many entries left as we head into Week 10, where there are a few big favorites, but the challenge may be picking from the teams that you still have left at this point.
Like I said last week, I’ll try to focus on teams that most entrants are likely to have left, but will mention all those worthy of consideration.
Week 10 NFL survivor picks
The Chiefs are the second-biggest favorite on the board for Week 10, so they get consideration by default. They were last week’s pick in the article and I can’t help but think a lot of people trusted them against Malik Willis and the Titans. Derrick Henry nearly upended anybody that had Andy Reid’s team off the bye, but “survive and advance” has never been a more appropriate expression than it has been this season.
