Circa Survivor Report: Week 1

Circa Survivor Report: BENGALS DASH DREAMS; KO ONE-THIRD OF CONTEST

ANY. GIVEN. SUNDAY.

Those three words came back to haunt the 34.2% of the people who backed Cincinnati in Week 1 of the Circa Survivor contest.

4,895 entries picked Joe Burrow and the Bengals to beat New England at home. However, the 7.5-point underdog Patriots pulled off the biggest upset of Week 1 after earning a 16-10 victory. 

 

 

Following the news that star WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) would miss the game – coupled with an unhappy Ja’Marr Chase (contract) – New England drew strong support at the betting counters dropping the spread from +9.5 down to +7.5 at Circa.

Circa Survivor, which drew a record-breaking $14,266,000 million prize pool this year, proved once again that there is no such thing as a “lock” in the NFL – despite not needing to cover any point spread.

 

 

In addition to the Bengals, the Falcons were the next biggest knock-out blow to contestants. Atlanta knocked out another 431 entries (5.7%). 5,519 (39%) of the 14,206 entries were eliminated in Week 1. 

The Circa Survivor contest is a grueling one that forces entrants to pick one winner every week, with no spread and one pivotal caveat. Entrants CAN NOT use the same team more than once during the season. 

Circa Survivor, which requires a $1,000 entry fee, will be a sweat of a lifetime for those who run deep into the season due to the massive winner-take-all prize pool.

In an early look ahead to Week 2, it is expected that: Baltimore (-9.5) vs Las Vegas, LA Chargers (-6.5) at Carolina, Detroit (-7) vs Tampa Bay, Kansas City (-6) vs Cincinnati and Houston (-6.5) vs Chicago – will be among the most heavily chosen teams in the contest.
