NFL Survivor picks for Week 6
After some early-season carnage, it feels like things have really settled down in Survivor contests. Rough seas have calmed and many of the heavy favorites have been holding up over the past few weeks, including two really popular options for Week 5 in the Dolphins and Lions. Except for a 102-yard pick-six for the Giants against Miami, both games were virtually sweat-free.
I agonized over last week’s decision. Not because I thought either team was really at risk, but because it was tough to know exactly which team to save for the future. Ultimately, I took the Dolphins, who won easily and kept this article rolling into Week 6.
With both the Dolphins (Week 5) and the Bills (Week 2) off the board for me, I do not have the obvious choices this week, which is a mistake on my part. I should have taken the Lions last week to have the Bills this week. Alas, those are the decisions you are put to in Survivor and now I have one to make this week.
Along with the Dolphins and Bills, I’ve used Commanders (Week 1), Chiefs (Week 3), and 49ers (Week 4), so I’ve exhausted most of the elite teams.
