Week 3 NFL Survivor Picks: Outlets Split on Seattle as CBS Urges Caution

Injury uncertainty in Seattle coupled with modest model win odds drives the divergence in advice.

Overview

  • Sporting News names the Seahawks its best Week 3 survivor play at home against the Saints.
  • USA TODAY highlights the Bills as the likeliest Week 3 winner but recommends using the Falcons, citing Carolina’s injuries up front.
  • CBS Sports and SportsLine advise avoiding Seattle, with the model giving the Seahawks roughly a 59% win rate and projecting a one-score game.
  • CBS notes the Seahawks could be without cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and safety Nick Emmanwori (ankle), adding risk to that pick.
  • Multiple outlets caution against using the Chiefs this week, and CBS/SportsLine keep their final survivor selections behind paid access.
