## Key points

- Jacksonville is the leading Week 9 survivor pick.
- Baltimore faces major uncertainty at quarterback.
- Dallas could be a strong option against Indianapolis.

## Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars are presented as the clearest Week 9 choice in NFL survivor pools, with the article arguing they should beat a badly depleted Baltimore Ravens side. The pick matters because survivor players can only use each team once, so a strong favourite can also be valuable to save for a later week.

Baltimore may have to start Joe Fagnano or a Packers practice-squad player on a short week, while its defence ranks 14th in defensive DVOA after allowing 35 points to Buffalo. The Dallas Cowboys are another possible pick against the Indianapolis Colts, whose spread widened after trading Quenton Nelson; a trade of Jonathan Taylor could make Dallas a more than seven-point favourite. The article says its model does not account for Baltimore’s injuries.
