Week 3 NFL survivor pool pick, advice, strategy: Expert who faded Bengals, Ravens gives out top knockout pick

Will Levis has lost four straight starts and could be losing his grip on being the Titans’ starting quarterback. During these starts, the 2023 second-rounder has two touchdowns, seven turnovers, and 15 sacks. Tennessee’s Sunday opponent, the Packers, could make for an under-the-radar Week 3 NFL survivor pick, even though their own quarterback situation is not optimal, as former Titans QB Malik Willis will be under center again. Tennessee has last year’s savior for the Steelers, Mason Rudolph, as the backup quarterback. With so many unknowns for Packers vs. Titans, should your Week 3 NFL survivor pool picks simply look at other options? Before finalizing any Week 3 NFL survivor picks, you need to see which team proven expert R.J. White is backing.

White has been SportsLine’s No. 1 NFL against-the-spread expert over the last seven years, going 643-543-34 against the spread to put him up more than 46 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.

His advice can be used to crush the Survivor Pool format, which calls for picking one team to win each week but never using the same team twice. In Week 1, White correctly recommended to avoid the Bengals, who lost to the Patriots as 8.5-point favorites. Instead, White picked the Saints, who beat the Panthers by 37 points in the most lopsided game of the week. Then in Week 2, he avoided the Ravens, who lost to the Raiders as 8.5-point favorites, and instead backed the Texans, who defeated the Bears.

Anyone who followed his advice avoided two of the biggest NFL upsets of the season and advanced to Week 3.

Now, White has turned his attention to the latest Week 3 NFL odds and locked in his Week 3 survivor pool pick. You can only see who White is backing this week at SportsLine.

Top Week 3 NFL survivor pool predictions 

In Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season, White is avoiding the Bengals (-7.5, 47), even though they are the biggest favorite of the week. From 2015-19, Washington was a tomato can on MNF, losing eight straight MNF games. However since then, which coincided with its name change, the Commanders are 3-0 SU on Mondays. That comes despite them being underdogs in all three games, two of which took place in opponents’ stadiums.

While fellow rookie QBs Caleb Williams and Bo Nix have combined for six turnovers and just one total TD, Jayden Daniels has zero turnovers and a pair of touchdowns. Washington hasn’t given the ball away all season, while Cincinnati has as many turnovers (three) as total TDs on the year. The Bengals also have issues defending mobile QBs like Daniels as just six teams have allowed more rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2024. Cincinnati was also a 7.5-point home favorite versus New England in Week 1, only to lose, so the Bengals should be on upset alert again versus Washington. See which team to pick instead here.
