The Los Angeles Rams and the other 31 NFL teams are all set to play on the same weekend for the last time for quite a while. As such, this will be the last time for a while that Survivor players will have 16 games to choose from. The options can be overwhelming as ever, so here is a guide to help steer your decisions.
NFL Week 4 Survivor Pool Picks
Pittsburgh Steelers
Trending
The Steelers are 3-0 and off to their best start since the Ben Roethlisberger era. The kicker? They aren't even using their starting quarterback. Justin Fields hasn't technically won the title yet, but being just one of a few remaining teams in the NFL is a quick ticket to holding starting honors for the season.

The Steelers are taking on the Colts this week, and Anthony Richardson is yet to prove that he can slice and dice an NFL-quality defense, let alone one of the best in the league.
San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are licking their wounds after losing to the underdogs Los Angeles Rams last week. After losing, expect the team to come into Week 4 with a vengeance against the New England Patriots.
The Patriots are coming off an ugly loss to the New York Jets, indicating that the Brissett era may have peaked.
Even if brighter days are ahead for the Patriots, they won't come against the defending NFC Champions. George Kittle appears to have a better probability to play this week and with the emergence of Jauan Jennings, the 49ers offense will be stronger this week.
NFL Week 4 Contrarian Pool Picks
Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns have their backs against the wall, but Deshaun Watson isn't in danger of losing his job this week. Gardner Minshew, meanwhile, could be, based on comments made by Antonio Pierce after getting hit hard on Sunday by the Panthers.
With the added pressure on Minshew, he will urge himself to try to make something happen with his arm quickly.
This is likely to turn into interceptions, letting the Browns lean on Jerome Ford and the rest of the Browns running game. If they sprinkle in some play-action, the Raiders could fall to 1-3 on the season and the Browns will be back to .500.
Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams have the luxury of facing a rookie quarterback this week. After watching Jayden Daniels emerge as a potential star on Monday Night Football, Caleb Williams will have pressure to match the rookie drafted behind him.
His need to match was proven by a video from this preseason after Patrick Mahomes' behind-the-back pass. Not long after that went viral, Williams was spotted working on a similar type of throw.
As such, the Los Angeles Rams only need to show confusing pre-snap looks before jumping into another form of defense after the snap. This will generate interceptions for the Los Angeles Rams.
With the Bears ranked weaker defensively against the run, the ingredients are set for a decisive win for the Los Angeles Rams.
NFL Week 4 Teams to Avoid
Carolina Panthers
The Carolina Panthers just had their biggest win potentially in years. As such, the team is liable to take their foot off the gas this week. It might look tantalizing to pick a team heating up against the 0-3 Bengals, but Joe Burrow appeared to lock in on Monday Night Football for the first time.
As such, an angry Burrow facing a team with recent historical woes is not a recipe worth testing. Survivor players beware.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars are 0-3 like the Bengals, but they appear listless at the moment. Trevor Lawrence appears to be seeing ghosts after a viral video surfaced of the quarterback spinning to avoid no one last week.
It doesn't help that they face the Texans, who will be coming into Week 4 focused after suffering their first loss of the season.
The Jaguars might play a bit harder this week after a tough few days of practice, but the talent on the Texans is no joke.
