NFL point spreads have been released for every game on the Week 1 NFL schedule. The latest NFL odds can be a useful tool when building your 2024 NFL survivor pool strategy. The 2024 NFL season begins when the Chiefs host the Ravens on Thursday, September 5. Kansas City is a 3-point favorite, one of seven spreads that of a field goal or less. With so many small spreads, finding a reliable Week 1 NFL survivor pick can become a tricky task. The first week of the season is just one piece of the complex puzzle, as making winning football knockout pool picks requires you to pick a winning team every week of the season.
However, teams can only be used once, so you need a strong understanding of the entire NFL schedule before entering any NFL elimination pool picks. Before locking in any 2024 NFL survivor picks, be sure to check out the NFL survivor strategy from Vegas NFL expert R.J. White.
White has been SportsLine’s No. 1 NFL against-the-spread expert over the last seven years, going 636-534-34 against the spread to put him up more than 48 units on those picks at SportsLine since 2017. He has also delivered a 56.7% hit rate on his Vegas contest picks over the last nine seasons and has two finishes in the money, including finishing 18th out of 2,748 entries back in 2017.
Now, White has turned his attention to the 2024 NFL schedule and locked in his top NFL survivor pool picks and alternative strategy for the entire season. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top 2024 NFL survivor picks and strategy
One part of White’s 2024 NFL survivor strategy: He is not choosing the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, whom he considers the consensus play. The Bengals are the heaviest favorite in Week 1, but White recommends taking a cautious approach with this matchup since New England is playing in its first game under someone other than Bill Belichick since 1999.
First-year head coach Jerod Mayo should be able to inject new energy into the franchise heading into its season-opener and the Patriots have several quality quarterbacks on its roster. Meanwhile, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is returning from a season-ending injury and Cincinnati finished at the bottom of the AFC North last year. White views this as an opportunity to fade the consensus team and potentially gain a huge advantage heading into Week 2. See the rest of White’s NFL survivor contest picks right here for every week.
How to make survivor pool NFL picks for the 2024 NFL season
White is taking a little more risk in Week 1 “by playing a lower-tier team.” This team will not be on many survivor players’ radar, potentially giving its backers a huge boost. This pick could be the difference between winning your survivor pool or going home with nothing. You can only see who it is here.Â
