Week 2 is in the books, and it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who spoiled many Survivor Pools with a home loss to the Cleveland Browns that saw mother nature play a big role. We now enter Week 3 where the Detroit Lions seem to be the most popular play, hosing the New York Jets fresh off an overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers. Speaking of Green Bay, many are high on them despite a shortened week, while the Kansas City Chiefs head to south beach as a popular pick against the Dolphins.

Let’s go through the best Week 3 survivor picks, which teams are the most popular among picks, along with game spreads and staff picks.

Kansas City Chiefs (-11.5 vs. Miami Dolphins)

Kansas City is rolling behind a 382-yard Mahomes performance and Kenneth Walker III’s early workload, while Miami has managed just 13 points in each of its first two games under Malik Willis.

San Francisco 49ers (-8.5 vs. Arizona Cardinals)

San Francisco has suffocated both the Rams and Dolphins to open 2-0, and Arizona limps in after a lopsided loss to Seattle with Jacoby Brissett struggling badly under center last week.

Seattle Seahawks (-7 vs. Washington Commanders)

It’s a battle of backups after injuries to Sam Darnold and Jayden Daniels, but Seattle’s stingy defense makes Drew Lock and the Seahawks the clear favorite over Marcus Mariota’s Commanders.
