When the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys upset in Week 9, the survivor pool of the 2021 NFL season lost a large number of participants. For those who are still alive in Week 10, several top ranked teams seem to be safe bets to win the upcoming games.
Here is the ranking of the top 10 survivor pool selections in week 10:
1) Tampa Bay Pirates (Washington Football Team)
Washington hasn’t won since barely defeating Atlanta on October 3. The team’s only other victory was a last-second shot against the Giants in Week 2. The Buccaneers beat a team with no winning record 4-0. Tom Brady should be the MVP favorite, and Tampa Bay is expected to become the NFC champion again.
2) Baltimore Ravens (At the Miami Dolphins)
The Dolphins ended their seven-game winning streak in Week 9 because they faced the only AFC team that performed worse this season. Jacoby Brissett and his 79.0 passing score are likely to start for Miami in just one week. The Ravens are the AFC’s No. 2 seed and have the NFL’s No. 2 offense.
3) Indianapolis Colts (Vs. Jacksonville Jaguars)
The Colts are responsible for dealing with bad teams. The Indianapolis team defeated the Jets, Dolphins, Texans and 49ers by an average of 16.3 points per game. Defeating Bill 9-6 does not mean that the Jaguars suddenly become a strong contender in the playoffs. The Colts have a three-day break advantage after participating in the “Thursday Night Football Game.”
4) Buffalo Bills (In the New York Jets)
For some reason, Buffalo is the biggest favorite of week 10. Expect Josh Allen to recover from his poor performance in Week 9, giving the Bills a significant quarterback advantage. Buffalo has the NFL’s No. 1 defense, while New York’s total defense ranks last.
5) Dallas Cowboys (Against the Atlanta Falcons)
Dak Prescott’s loss in Week 9 was arguably the worst game of his career. When the quarterback faces a defense that has given up a 104.1 pass rating, he should rebound. Atlanta’s victory came from Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, Tua Tagovaloa and Trevor Simian.
6) Pittsburgh Steelers (Against the Detroit Lions)
Every week against the Lions is a winning strategy. The only NFL team that did not win, Detroit has lost 12 consecutive games since last year. Pittsburgh was only defeated by teams above 0.500. Since the Steelers play close matches almost every week, you may have to sweat it profusely.
7) Los Angeles Rams (In San Francisco 49ers)
Since defeating the Eagles on September 19, the 49ers have only won one victory. San Francisco has a 0-4 record against teams that have won more than three games.Los Angeles’s two losses are in the hands of No. 1 seed At every meeting. Von Miller could make his Rams debut in Week 10.
8) Arizona Cardinals (Vs. Carolina Panthers)
Cardinals May be cautious Along with Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins, they both missed Arizona’s week 9 victory over San Francisco due to injuries. If Colt McCoy returns to the Cardinals center position, Carolina will have a chance. The Panthers have only scored 14.8 points in the past five games, and the team’s record during this period is 1-4.
9) Tennessee Titans (Against the New Orleans Saints)
The Titans’ five-game winning streak includes impressive victories for the Bills, Chiefs and Rams. New Orleans’ defense could allow Derek Henry to withdraw from the game, although Simian is unlikely to win the away game against the No. 1 seed of the AFC Champions League.
10) Los Angeles Charger (Against the Minnesota Vikings)
The Vikings are constantly looking for new ways to lose to a good team. Minnesota’s overtime defeat in Baltimore led to a 0-5 lead over the team with excellent records. Despite facing one of the most difficult schedules in the NFL, the Chargers still ranked first.
