The Dallas Cowboys were electric in 2021, and they will look to repeat or surpass that success in 2022. The Cowboys finished last season ranked first in yards per game (407.0) and points per game (31.2 ), with quarterback Dak Prescott throwing for over 4,400 yards. Dallas is a 1.5-point underdog at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Caesars Sportsbook’s Week 1 NFL Odds, a game many will stay away from with their NFL survivor pool picks.
Elsewhere on the NFL Week 1 schedule, the Colts are the biggest favorites at -8 against the Houston Texans. Other NFL favorites who could catch the eye for NFL Week 1 knockout pool picks include the Baltimore Ravens (-7 vs. the Jets), San Francisco 49ers (-7 vs. Bears) and the Denver Broncos (-6 against the Seahawks). Before we finalize the NFL Week 1 Survivor picks, see which team the fiery SportsLine projection model just went all-in on.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has grown more than $7,500 for players to $100 on top NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 138-97 run on the NFL’s top picks that dates back to the 2017 season. Amazingly, he hasn’t missed a top-rated pick since Week 15 last season.

Now, he’s turned his attention to Caesars’ latest Week 1 NFL odds and has locked in his Week 1 Survivor Pool pick. You can only see the backing model this week on SportsLine.
Best Week 1 NFL Survivor Pool Predictions
For Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season, the model turns away from the Cincinnati Bengals, even though they are the defending AFC champions and favored at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals had a surprising Super Bowl run last season and will look to get off to a quick start with a win over the Steelers in Week 1.
However, the Steelers have dominated this rivalry in recent years. In fact, Pittsburgh is 11-3 in its last 14 meetings against the Bengals. Additionally, the Steelers are 16-4 in their last 20 road games against Cincinnati. The unpredictability of this AFC North rivalry is too dangerous for the model’s projections this week.
