Best NFL football knockout, survivor pool picks, advice, strategy for Week 6, 2024: Dodge this heavy favorite

The Carolina Panthers continue to be a target of NFL survivor pool picks, and that won't be any different with Week 6 NFL eliminator pool picks. The Panthers have lost six of their last seven games at home dating back to last season and Carolina will host the Atlanta Falcons for a NFC South rivalry on Sunday. The Falcons have won 12 of the last 17 meetings between these two teams. The Falcons are also 3-1 in their last four games and are favored by six against the Panthers. Atlanta could be a popular selection for Week 6 knockout pool picks given Carolina's struggles at home. 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 well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season on an incredible 10-2 hot streak on top-rated NFL picks this year. Longer term, it is on a 191-131 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season and a 45-23 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of 2022.

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 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

The model can be used to crush the Survivor Pool format, which calls for picking one team to win each week but never using the same team twice.

Top Week 6 NFL survivor pool predictions

In Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season, the model is shying away from the Eagles (-9.5, 42.5) versus the Browns, even though Philadelphia is the biggest favorite of the week. Cleveland's offense has struggled mightily this season, averaging just 239.4 yards per game, which ranks dead-last in the NFL.

The Browns are averaging only 142.8 passing yards per game, but the Eagles have been getting torched by opposing offenses this season. Philadelphia's defense is giving up 365.8 yards per game on average, which ranks 27th. The Eagles have also lost eight of their last 11 games dating back to last season. Philadelphia's lack of consistency makes the Eagles too risky a play for Week 6 NFL knockout picks, according to the model. See which team to pick instead here .
