Like last week, my selections for this week will be broken down into the following categories: safest picks, riskier plays that will be popular, and contrarian plays to beat a large pool. Even though survivor pool rules say you cannot pick the same team twice,

In Week 10 of the USA TODAY NFL Survivor Pool contest, 7 more people were bumped off, leaving us with 26 of the 10,357 still alive for the prize of $5,000. The Bears eliminated 5 players, while the Giants caused another player to be eliminated. One other picked the Atlanta Falcons on the road against the New Orleans Saints.

Week 11 in the NFL is upon us, and the Doc's Sports Confidence Pool is on an epic run. After having another outstanding 10-4 record and 87 total points out of 110 possible, we've pushed our 5-week mark to 59-14 (80.4 %) and 501 out of a possible 576 (87.0%). We have another gold-star weekend mapped out, so read on as we pick more winners.
