For Week 3 NFL survivor pools, SB Nation’s guide names Kansas City (-11.5 over Miami) the safest choice and Green Bay (-5.5 over Atlanta) the value pick. It flags Buffalo and Seattle as traps despite expecting both to win; the writer says personal picks will be updated Sunday.
Buffalo and Seattle are both seven-point favorites, but the writer says the Chargers have enough talent to turn their season around and recommends saving the Bills for Week 14 against Miami. Seattle’s cross-country trip for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff and Washington’s loss of Jayden Daniels to a dislocated elbow, with Marcus Mariota taking over, make the Seahawks-Commanders game a risk. Seattle could be saved for Week 9 against Arizona or Week 14 against the Giants.
The writer expects to use Kansas City in some entries and is leaning toward San Francisco over Arizona for one pick, but has not locked in all three choices. Green Bay is another option to save for Week 15 at home against Miami.
