The best 5 NFL survivor pool picks to consider for Week 18

First off, let me start by apologizing. I went completely MIA on last week’s survivor pool picks at a time when people might have needed them most.

Second, blame it on the holidays and not my recent losing streak. I actually got a pick right for once in Week 16! So, the streak was technically over before I missed Week 17.

Now, to the important stuff. This is it. For those still alive in pools, this week’s pick is for all the money. And if the Circa Sports pool is a good indicator of the team’s most people have left, the options aren’t great.

To hopefully help, I’m going to try something different to close the season. Usually I give five options, with my No. 1 pick being a team I haven’t selected all year. This week, I’ll give five different options of teams I haven’t selected, and luckily there are exactly five of them I think will win this week. Before we get to the picks, here’s a look at where things stand:

Record: 11-5
