Circa Survivor Report: Week 16
CIRCA SURVIVOR WEEK 17: DOUBLE WEEK KO’s 60% OF FIELD
Week 17 of Circa’s $14 million Survivor contest, which was broken down to 17A & 17B, proved too difficult to navigate, ending the hopes of 60% of the remaining field.
The Christmas Day double-header and the Thursday night game, which were their own week (17A), eliminated 11 entries after the Bears, Steelers, and Texans all suffered losses.
Heading into the weekend, 34 contestants remained alive for Week 17B.
The slate, which started on Saturday, saw favorites go 13-1 Straight-up (SU). However, that “one” had a major impact on the contest.
16 entrants were confident that Indianapolis would beat a struggling two-win Giants squad with their AFC playoff hopes on the line.

However, their hopes of surviving to the final week of this season were dashed when Drew Lock upset the Colts, 45-33. For the first time since Week 12, the most chosen selection came up short. That knocked out 47.1% of the remaining pool.
The Colts go down against the Giants eliminating 16 entries and setting the overall entries at 18.
This is the first time since Week 12 in this Circa Survivor contest that the number 1 selected team has taken a loss.

In Week 17, favorites also posted a very lucrative 11-3 Against The Spread (ATS) mark (with two pick’em games).
After seeing 27 entrants eliminated over the split week, only 18 of the starting 14,266 entries remain alive!
The Circa Survivor contest is a grueling contest that 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 season.
With the 2024 NFL season down to the last week of gridiron action, pursuing the biggest $14,266,000 prize only requires one more winning selection.
Contestants (who still have them available) will heavily lean on Baltimore (-18) vs. Cleveland, Tampa Bay (-13) vs. New Orleans, Denver (-10) vs. Kansas City, and Green Bay (-9) vs. Green Bay.
From a full betting perspective, favorites hold a sizable 180-71 SU (71.7%) (5 Pick’ems) and 133-112-6 ATS (54.3%) edge. Home teams hold a slim 132-119 SU (52.6%) advantage (five international games) while road teams hold the coveted 127-118-6 ATS (51.8%) edge.
