NFL Week 8 Survivor Pool Picks

Updated · Win chances from each game's moneylines, margin removed

Week 8 offers a clear top tier for survivor pools. The Bengals, at home against the Titans, carry the market's highest win chance at 80.8 percent, just ahead of the Jaguars hosting the Colts at 79.2 percent. Both sit well clear of the rest of the board, making them the two most trusted picks this week.

From there the field tightens. The Patriots, on the road against Miami, sit at 73.9 percent, with the Cowboys at home over Arizona close behind at 72.4 percent, and the Rams hosting the Chargers rounding out the group at 71.8 percent. None of these numbers are guarantees, just the market's current view of how the week is shaping up.

Rhett Zone's week 8 picks

Survivor pick: Cincinnati Bengals

Survivor pick: Cincinnati Bengals. Market's got them at 81.6 percent over Tennessee, the strongest number on the slate outside Jacksonville, and that kind of gap means Cincinnati should control the game script start to finish, including trips inside the 20. That's the safe insurance play this week.

Closest call on the board is Jets over Raiders, just 52.2 percent, basically a coin flip. I'm siding with Gang Green at home, but don't feel great pounding the table there. Chiefs over Broncos at 53.2 percent is in the same boat, razor thin, and I'm leaning Kansas City on name value more than separation. Falcons-Bucs sits at 54.3 for Tampa, another one that could flip on a single red-zone stop.

Everything else is more comfortable: Jaguars, Bengals, and Patriots all clear 72 percent, those are my most trusted outright winners this week alongside the survivor call.
