The best 5 NFL survivor pool picks to consider for Week 12

Week 12 of the NFL season is here with three Thanksgiving games kicking things off on Thursday.

That means it’s time for you to lock in your survivor pool (or knockout pool or whatever you call it) pick for this week and continue on and avoid elimination. So we decided it’s time to give you some help with that by ranking the five best teams to target, while trying to factor in those leagues that require you to only use a squad once per season.

Past picks: Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Week 9 | Week 10 | Week 11

Here’s who you should be considering ahead of Week 12 in descending order:

5
Los Angeles Chargers (at Arizona Cardinals)

The Cardinals offense got embarrassed Monday night, and I don’t expect this game to be much better.

4
Baltimore Ravens (at Jacksonville Jaguars)

The Ravens might not win in the ways we expect, but they’ve still been on the right side of games they should win lately.

3
San Francisco 49ers (vs. New Orleans Saints)

The Niners are rolling right now, and it’s coming together on both sides of the ball.

2
Kansas City Chiefs (vs. Los Angeles Rams)

The reigning Super Bowl champs are down bad and ripe for a good ol’ fashioned beatdown here.

1
Miami Dolphins (vs. Houston Texans)

This is my third straight week picking the Texans’ opponent. So far, that strategy is undefeated.
