NFL Week 13 Survivor Pool Tips: Best Picks and Strategies to Stay Alive
R.Davis3 months ago
- Mitchell Leff/ If you've made it to Week 13 without using the San Francisco 49ers or Philadelphia Eagles, congratulations, you're in good shape. The 10-1 Eagles have been one of the league's most reliable survivor options, and while the 49ers have blown a handful of games, they've been surging since the bye.
The problem is that the 49ers travel to face the Eagles this week, and it's hard to pick either team.
The 49ers are three-point road favorites, and they do have the skill players needed to exploit Philly's 29th-ranked pass defense. However, the Eagles are resilient, and it wouldn't be a shock to see Jalen Hurts pull out some late-game magic to provide the upset.
If you haven't used the Dallas Cowboys yet, now is the perfect time. The Seattle Seahawks are above .500, but they're 9.5-point dogs for a reason. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys are undefeated at home.
With games against the Eagles, Bills, Miami Dolphins and Lions looming, this might be the last time to truly trust Dallas until Week 18—and that could be a meaningless game against the Washington Commanders that the Cowboys aren't motivated to win.
Given the Los Angeles Chargers' penchant for losing close games, L.A. should be avoided, even as a six-point favorite against the lowly New England Patriots. The Los Angeles Rams should also be avoided, even as 3.5-point favorites at home against the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns' offense is one of the most underwhelming in the NFL, but their defense can take over games (see Cleveland's Week 6 upset of San Francisco for proof). The Rams' Week 15 game against the Commanders is much more enticing.
It's easy to love C.J. Stroud and the upstart Houston Texans, but the Denver Broncos (+3.5) are one of the league's hottest teams. We'd avoid that one, along with the AFC South showdown between the Indianapolis Colts (-1) and Tennessee Titans.
