Congratulations. You have made it through a rough season and to Week 6 of your NFL survivor pool. As the weeks go on, it becomes tougher and tougher to find a solid play. Did you use the Green Bay Packers against the New England Patriots? Or do you still have them coming home against the New York Jets this week. It is decisions like this which have some people winning and some losing when the results are tallied.

The chalk: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Who they play: at Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m.
If this game were in Tampa Bay, it would be a must play. Being that it’s in Pittsburgh, it’s just the best play.
Even in a down season so far, the 3-2 Buccaneers are far better than the 1-4 Steelers. Tom Brady, along with WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and RB Leonard Fournette provide an arsenal of weapons unmatched by Pittsburgh. Even having to pull out a clunky 21-15 victory over Atlanta last Sunday, Tampa Bay has the offense and the defense to shut down the struggling Steelers.
Pittsburgh’s only victory this season was a 23-20 overtime upset in Week 1 of the Cincinnati Bengals, in a game in which the Steelers were outgained by more than 200 yards on offense. They only won that game due to an injured long snapper for the Bengals leading to some late game FG mishaps. This game will not be close enough for those mishaps to happen here.
Tampa Bay is my favorite play this week for survivor pools.

Off the board: Los Angeles Rams
Who they play: vs. Carolina Panthers, 4 p.m.
The Los Angeles Rams are having a tough start as defending champions. WR Allen Robinson has been invisible, and RB Cam Akers has been non-existent. But the team still has WR Cooper Kupp on offense.
Even in the Rams 22-10 loss to Dallas last Sunday, Kupp still produced having a 75-yard TD reception from QB Matthew Stafford. After a slow start to the season, CB Jalen Ramsey also shined. He was able to shadow CeeDee Lamb and held the Cowboys WR to 1 catch for 9 yards during his time in coverage.
With QBs Baker Mayfield out and Sam Darnold still not ready, the Panthers will turn to Temple product P.J. Walker this week. On top of the QB change, the team also fired coach Matt Rhule after 2 seasons of disappointment from the college prodigy with Steve Wilks taking over. The Panthers will not make a run at the Rams, making Los Angeles is another wonderful bet this week for your NFL survivor pool.
