Injuries, struggling offenses, surprising defenses, and a few bold upset predictions make this week’s picks especially unpredictable.

Listeners pile on with their own choices, proving that “survival movie” can mean everything from escaping sharks and wolves to surviving war, natural disasters, zombies, vampires—or the end of civilization.
