Week 10 of the NFL season is upon us, and it’s not too late to join an NFL survivor pool. You can enter the DraftKings $25K+ 10th Chance NFL Survivor pool for just $10 here.
Whether your pick lost in Week 10 or you just didn’t get the chance to join a survivor pool, you can join this one. In this survivor pool, you need to pick a team to win straight-up every week. However, once you use a team, you cannot use it again. You are eliminated from the pool if one of your picks loses. The players who survive the regular season without losing will split the grand prize of at least $25,000.
Week 10 Survivor Best Pick
Broncos over Raiders
The Broncos are 7-2 on the season, sitting atop the AFC West. They are yet to lose a game in Denver, continuing Bo Nix’s great home record. Nix is 10-2 in his career in Denver compared to 7-7 on the road. When deciding which game to use the Broncos in survivor pools, it’s almost a requirement for it to be a home game. On the other side, the Raiders dropped another one last week to move to 2-6 on the season. Las Vegas ranks 29th in offensive EPA/play and will have major issues trying to score against the Broncos’ defense, which ranks fourth in EPA/play. As long as Nix plays a clean game, the Broncos should get a win, which is a much safer bet to make when they’re at home.
Week 10 Survivor Bold Pick
Panthers over Saints
The Panthers have been quietly playing good football the past few weeks. They have won four of their past five games, with the only loss coming against the Bills. The teams that the Panthers have been beating aren’t great football teams, other than last week’s upset over the Packers. However, this is not a great team that they are facing this week, either. The Saints made a quarterback change to Tyler Shough last week. The rookie struggled in that game, and things will not get easier moving forward. The Saints traded Rashid Shaheed, making a struggling passing game even weaker. The Panthers rank sixth in the NFL in defensive success rate this season and should make life difficult on Shough. Just like Bo Nix, you want to back Bryce Young at home. Young is 8-10 at home in his career, including 3-0 at home this season. Meanwhile, he is a miserable 3-17 on the road. So, if you are looking to use the Panthers at all this season, this might be the perfect spot.
Week 10 Survivor Favorite to Avoid
Colts over Falcons
The Colts finally had their winning streak snapped last week against the Steelers. After playing by far the best football of his career over the first half of the season, their quarterback looked like the Daniel Jones of old last week. Jones threw three interceptions, something that was always a problem when he was a Giant. This week, he faces a Falcons defense that leads the league in opponent passing yards per game. Atlanta also has seven interceptions on the season. This is a dangerous defense to face if Jones is now lacking in confidence. Atlanta just came up a missed extra point short of forcing overtime on the road against the Patriots. They have struggled to win games, but they are a better team than their record reflects. Atlanta is not a team I would want to pick against in survivor pools.
