During Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season, survivor pool participants face several options despite six teams being on bye. Players may consider the Dolphins facing the Falcons, Bears against the Ravens, or the Bills battling the Panthers, among others.

“A number of survivor pool players have seen their hopes disappear, but for those few still alive, Week 8 of the NFL schedule leaves them with several solid options.”

While the Colts appear strong contenders for the AFC South, caution is advised for the Ravens, who have lost four consecutive games and may be without their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson. The smart move in survivor pools might be to steer clear of Baltimore this week.

Predictions:

• The model indicates the Ravens could win less than 60% of the time against the Bears.
• Those still able to use the Colts benefit from their appealing odds, suggesting better opportunities for victories in the upcoming games.
