Circa Survivor Report: Week 5

CIRCA SURVIVOR WEEK 5: UPSETS LEAVE LESS 2% OF POOL ALIVE

The madness ruling the NFL landscape continued in Week 5, as the ultimate ‘kiss of death’ of choosing the most popular selections KO’d 51.2% of the remaining Circa Survivor NFL $1,000 entry fee contest. Overall, 233 entrants were eliminated from winning a share of the life-changing prize.

Contestants heavily invested in both touchdown-plus home favorites Seattle and San Francisco. However, for the fourth time in five weeks, the most-selected choice was a bad move as Seattle was upset to the dismay of 160 entrants.

 

 

Playing without both starting WR Malik Nabers and RB Devin Singletary, 33.3% of the pool faded a struggling Giants squad. However, the extremely short-handed Giants went into Lumen Field and shocked Geno Smith and the Seahawks 29-20.

San Francisco was the second-most selected team as 86 entries selected Brock Purdy and the 49ers to beat Arizona at home.

 

 

However, the 49ers allowed James Conner and Kyler Murray to run for 169 yards and a touchdown on the ground, dashing the dreams of 17.9% of contestants. After being pummeled 42-14 last week by Washington, Arizona rebounded for a 24-23 come-from-behind win, proving once again that parity is the story of the 2024 NFL.

After five weeks, only 221 (0.15%) of the starting 14,266 entries remain alive.’

 

 

The anxiety will ratchet up to another level in Week 6 for the surviving entrants as Kansas City, Los Angeles Rams, Miami, and Minnesota are on bye. 

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

In the race for $14,266,000 – the biggest Survivor prize in history – those who will be competing in Week 6 will likely be heavily backing: Houston (-7) at New England and Philadelphia (-9) vs Cleveland. 

If those teams are unavailable to be used, things could get very tricky as 10 of the 14 games (71.4%) on the slate have a point spread of 4.5 points or less. We could potentially be looking at less than 1% of the pool alive after just six weeks of NFL action – something no one could ever have imagined.
