As the NFL season approaches its latter stages, survivor pools are heating up, with Week 10 presenting key matchups for participants. The Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills are highlighted as top picks, according to analysis from the New York Post.
Last week, favorites in the NFL went 14-1, underscoring the importance of selecting the right teams. The Packers, fresh off a victory over the New England Patriots, are favored to win at home against the Minnesota Vikings. Quarterback Jordan Love has been a driving force for Green Bay, demonstrating strong performance against both regular defensive schemes and blitz packages.
The Packers' defense has also been stout, ranking third in EPA per snap since Week 4. Despite the Vikings' acquisition of Kirk Cousins, the article suggests Green Bay's current momentum and motivation from an earlier season loss to Minnesota make them a compelling choice.
Another strong selection is the Buffalo Bills, who are set to host the New York Jets. The Jets are on a four-game losing streak and have struggled defensively, particularly against the run. Buffalo's offense, led by James Cook who has scored in seven consecutive games, is expected to exploit the Jets' weaknesses. Quarterback Josh Allen holds a favorable record against the Jets, further bolstering the Bills' status as favorites.
The New York Post also provided a full list of Week 10 survivor picks, including the Jacksonville Jaguars (-10.5) against the Tennessee Titans, the Seattle Seahawks (-6.5) versus the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Los Angeles Rams (-9.5) facing the Arizona Cardinals.
Other picks include the San Francisco 49ers (-4.5) against the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Lions (-2.5) playing the Patriots, and the Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) hosting the Atlanta Falcons.
Rounding out the list are the New York Giants (-1.5) against the Washington Commanders, the Baltimore Ravens (-5.5) set to play the Los Angeles Chargers, the Carolina Panthers (+1.5) facing the New Orleans Saints, the Houston Texans (-4.5) against the Cleveland Browns, and the Miami Dolphins (+2.5) as underdogs against the Indianapolis Colts.
