Top NFL football knockout, survivor pool picks, strategy, advice for Week 6, 2022: Avoid the Vikings

Those still making Week 6 NFL survivor pool picks smartly avoided two teams that were big favorites but ended up losing last week. The Packers lost as 9-point favorites to the Giants, making that the biggest upset so far this season. Meanwhile, picking whomever is facing the Texans proved to be a disastrous move after Houston earned its first win by beating Jacksonville. Making Week 6 NFL knockout pool picks will be harder than any previous week, and life will only get more difficult as the season rolls on. Before finalizing any Week 6 NFL survivor picks, see which team the red-hot SportsLine Projection Model just went all-in on.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 146-106 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 6 NFL odds from Caesars and locked in its Week 6 survivor pool pick. You can only see who the model is backing this week at SportsLine.

Top Week 6 NFL survivor pool predictions 

In Week 6 of the 2022 NFL schedule, the model is shying away from the Minnesota Vikings (4-1), even though they are favorites over the Miami Dolphins (3-2). Minnesota has given up at least 22 points in four straight games and is struggling across the board on defense. The team ranks 20th against the run, 22nd against the pass and is easily penetrable in the red zone. Opponents are scoring touchdowns on nearly 77 percent of red zone possessions and only three teams have a higher percentage. Meanwhile, Miami is among the most efficient teams inside the 20, converting TDs at the sixth-highest clip in the NFL.

The Vikings got a favorable schedule this year since they have nine home games versus eight road games, and one of those away contests was a neutral-site game in London. This will be just their second true road test and the team has lost four of its last five away games dating back to last season. Miami has question marks at QB, but it also is coming off a season-high 137 rushing yards and ranks in the top 10 in opponent’s yards per carry. See which team to pick here.
