The motivation factor will be key in Week 18 of the NFL season, and those of you alive in a Survivor Pool, there are only so many trustworthy options this week.
With every team likely facing limited options, I’m trying to go with a couple of borderline picks this week in hopes that they will help you clinch a Survivor title.
Let’s dive in:

NFL Week 18 Survivor Pool Picks
Green Bay Packers
How in the world did we get here for the Green Bay Packers?
Green Bay needs a win to get into the playoffs, while the Detroit Lions need some help to get there.
Detroit may be dead before this game starts, because the Seattle Seahawks can eliminate them from playoff contention by winning against the Los Angeles Rams.
I still expect the Lions to give a concerted effort, but the Packers need to just win and get in. I’ll trust Aaron Rodgers in that spot every single team, as it’s a complete miracle Green Bay has even gotten to this point after a brutal start to the season.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have a ton to play for in Week 18, as they need a win and a Green Bay loss to get into the postseason.
Obviously, some of this is out of the Seahawks’ hands, but they are going to have the motivational advantage against a Rams team that has seen its season end a long time ago.
Seattle beat the Rams by four on the road already this season, and I think Pete Carroll’s team comes out motivated in this matchup with the postseason within reach.
