Texans vs. Falcons is on the radar for Week 5 NFL knockout pool picks this week since Houston has won two straight games, while Atlanta has lost back-to-back contests. With the Falcons also traveling back from London after their latest loss, is now the time to go all-in on the Texans with your Week 5 NFL survivor pool picks? It has been nearly five years since the Texans won three games in a row, and that could be too much to ask for a team with a rookie head coach and rookie quarterback. Your Week 5 NFL eliminator pool picks should be ones that you have little-to-no doubt in making. Before finalizing any Week 5 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 well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 168-118 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 22-10 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last 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 5 NFL odds and locked in its Week 5 survivor pool pick. You can only see who the model is backing this week at SportsLine.
Top Week 5 NFL survivor pool predictions
For Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season, the model is shying away from the Ravens, even though they are 3.5-point favorites over the Steelers. Pittsburgh’s pass rush has terrorized Lamar Jackson, as in three starts versus the Steelers, the 2019 MVP has been sacked 16 times. That’s an average of 5.3 sacks per game and Jackson has never looked comfortable against Pittsburgh. Over his career, he has more interceptions (six) than TD passes (four) and more lost fumbles (two) than TD runs (zero) versus the Steelers.
This year, Pittsburgh ranks fifth in turnovers forced and sixth in sacks, so Jackson could be in for another long game. The Steelers also excel on the margins, as just two teams have committed fewer penalties, while Pittsburgh is one of a handful of squads that are perfect on field goal and extra point attempts this year. With Pittsburgh also boasting a 5-1 record against Baltimore over their last six meetings, the model is steering clear of the Ravens for Week 5 NFL survivor pool picks. See which team to pick here.
